Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 21

I bought these shoes because they were recommended for front foot strikers, but not pleased. Overall shoe is confortable, but not for running as the front of my forefoot begins to hurt immediately

I ordered the very same sneaker as the one I am currently running in - just a different color. The new pair arrived way too big. With the current situation it's impossible to buy sneakers locally so online is the only way. I have run through my current shoe and desperately need new sneakers. I'm disappointed that a new shoe of the same model and size runs so off. Bummer.

I ordered a 1/2 size up and they were too small and too narrow. Sent them back immediately.

I hate them for the same reasons listed. Been buying the Gel-Nimbus model for years and they keep getting smaller and more narrow with less cushion. I gave them one last chance with this purchase but I'll go with another brand next time. It's honestly disappointing.

This version of ASICS are not for me. I had immediate discomfort in my feet and knees just walking a couple of feet I tried for 3 days and it didn't get better over time. If I can't walk in these I know I can't run in them. I'm flat footed and I know this shoe is supposed to assist with that but the level of discomfort in my feet and knees is not worth dealing with.

I loves my ninbus 20s. They were the only shoes I found that helped with my constant heal and Achilles pains. I completely wore them out and orders these to replace them. When these arrived I was so excited and thew away my completely worn out 20s. After walking in these for a week my heel and achilles pain is back. I wish I had not throw away my 20s! Even with almost no tread left they were so much better than these. :(

This is a huge let down. I've been wearing ASICS for all my life, more than 25 yrs. I recently purchased gel nimbus 21 and gel cumulus 20 which both specified it had gel cushioning pads in both rear and forefoot and always did for years. I've been running 12 to 15 miles on these new shoes and I was having lot of pain in my forefoot which I never get on these runs. I was wondering why the shoes felt so hard in the forefoot. After checking them out more carefully, I realized there are no forefoot gel pads in the shoes. If they have changed it, they should say it in the shoe specifications. Both cumulus and nimbus DO NOT HAVE forefoot gel cushioning anymore. I wish I checked it sooner to return it but its too late now. When you see these shoe specs now, it still says rear and forefoot gel cushioning system. Well, it might be time to look for other shoes.

ASICS would not publish my review! Obviously, they do not want people to know the truth. The ASICS Gel Nimbus 21 has no gel, no cushion! These shoes have hurt my feet like no other shoes. Let's see if they publish this review!

They are narrow and uncomfortable for long walk or standing.

Unfortunately, this version of the Gel-Nimbus are very stiff and uncomfortable. Previous versions have had a lot of cushion but these are so bad that they made my toes numb and knees ache while wearing and running. Literally feels like planks under your feet. They run small as well and the shoestrings are weirdly short.

ASICS is my go to footwear, because I wear orthotics. I was disappointed and had to send this pair back. When I put the orthotic in, my foot wouldn't go in, too tight, so I had to return this pair

wrong size marked 11/1/2 really 10 should be 29 .0 only 28.0 would not take back

I've owned 6 pairs of Asics Nimbus, two of the 17's and four of the 18"s. I stocked up when I read the reviews on the 19's and didn't buy more. It looks as if Asics still hasn't gotten the message with the 20 and 21 models. Why are you insistant in making a lousy shoe now? Bring back the 17's or at least the 18's. The 17 was the best!!! Down hill from there.

I am an avid asics gel shopper i bought these and im not happy with them they are no where near as comfortable as the 20 i ended up buying a pair of 20s after these way mor comfortable

These shoes are chunky. It almost feels like you have boots on.

I have bought gel nimbus for last 10 years .... just ordered new last week and they're so stiff and awkwardly big/clunky . I would like to return them .

I have been wearing Nimbus for several years. When the new ones come out, I try them, but I have not found a shoe that I like as well as the 18. I bought the 21 this past summer and I hate them! I went back to an old pair of my old 18's that I had saved. They are really too worn to wear, but are still more comfortable and stable than the new 21. I have tried to find another pair of the 18 but of course it is impossible.
