Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 21

Toe area is smaller than previous years - Also less cushion. I've worn gel nimbus for 10 years and these are the worst. If I had saved the box I would be returning them.

I have to say I'm really disappointed in the comfort of the shoe. These used to be my favorite because of the support but they last few I purchased are not as comfortable. In fact they are hard. This was my 5th pair of Nimbus and I'll have to say my last. My older pairs had a much better insert. I'm a nurse and work 12 hour shifts so I need a cushioned and supportive shoe. I haven't even worn these new ones because just not comfortable. Totally disappointed in the change of these.

The shoes were great and fit well. However, after wearing them for only 2 weeks, they are showing some major wear and tear. Someone complimented me on my shoes the other day and I said thanks, I just got them. They couldn't believe they weren't old because the sides were already so worn down.

These shoes were really uncomfortable. I returned them.

Shoe has no tongue. Hard to put feet in and remove. Otherwise very light weight and comfortable

Very tight fit to be a wide shoe. Had to send back.

The toe box is very narrow, made my toes go numb very quickly, shoe itself was too short, sent them back , reordered a wide, half size larger. I don't have a wide foot. I've Never have worn a wide before

The show does not come close to the description. Zero arch support. And too hard at the bottom.

The top felt too tight. I had ordered a wide thinking that would help but not so much.

I've worn them twice and they are just not comfortable. I am so disappointed.

Beautiful color but very disappointed in the support. Returned them

Insufficient internal support. Lacks pull tab on heel.

The 20s were my favorite running shoes and the 21s are the worst. How do you make such a bad change. WAY too heavy; it was like running with bricks on my feet. I'm now skeptical of the Nimbus line.

I'm only 25 but have terrible knees from injuries playing high school sports. This is my first pair of Nimbus, recommended by my sister, they've been so great. I am training for my first half marathon & for the first time my knees have been able to handle the long runs. I'm so excited!

So disappointed in the durability of these shoes. When I first got them, they were amazing! Sturdy with adequate cushion. I run a quick outdoor mile 3-4 days a week and after 1 month I am tightening the shoelaces tighter. They already feel stretched out.

I read comparison between this pair and a prior years that I own and all reviews said tow box bigger cushion great. I have found the opposite. The toe box is much smaller and not comfortable and cushion doesn't seems nearly as good. Harder time running in this pair than several prior ones all ASICS nimbus

I loved these shoes initially. But tragedy struck. My shoes got wet once. I took them off, dried them out, and now they give my feet a terrible smell no matter what socks I wear.

I had to return these Asics. I have worn Asics for years but this particular shoe ran small! Ordered size I have for other Asics and these were at least 1/2 too small - toes literally hit end of shoe!. Order up a size when buying!

Loved the shoe but have only worn them a few weeks and they are already coming apart!! Not good quality at all!

This was the second pair of Gel-Nimbus 21 I've ordered in 3 months. I had to return both pair because they were too small, even after ordering a half size larger on the second order. Sizes are not true to size!

I bought these shoes because I had previously purchased Gel-Nimbus shoes, and they felt like walking on air. After logging many miles in the old shoes, I ordered them again in a newer version, confident that I would get the same cushioning. I was really disappointed that they had none of the cushioning for the balls of my feet. Sadly, I returned them.

I have been a Nimbus wearer for 5+ years and an ASICS fan for 10+ years. This model is much less comfortable than past models & the new 22 model. Uncomfortable around the laces on top and insole is much harder than usual. Not a good Nimbus model. Go for the 20 or 22 instead.

I've been running in Nimbus for years now, and 21 has seemed to lose a lot of the cushion I have come to know and rely on the style for. I would have returned, but given store closures, etc. I'll probably end up keeping.

The GT-2000 7 is inferior and changed from the original GT-2000 shoe, of which I had several pairs. The heel clutch sticks out into the heel and gives me blisters when I exercise on an upwards incline. The old models did not have this issue. With my finger I can feel that the clutch sticks into the heel where on the old pairs it did not. I am trying to break them in but still having problems. I can't find the old version or I would buy those instead.
