Very comfortable. However, I have walked less than 200 miles in them and the rubber has completely worn down to the foam. Not a long-lasting road shoe.

I’ve worn ASICS before and loved them, but these are stiff, and hurt my feet after a long walk. I’ve worn them every third day for 6 weeks but lo luck breaking them in.

I really like the style of the shoe. I bought this shoe after having trouble with plantar fasciitis and reading it was one of the best cushioned shoes for relief. I first ordered my normal shoe size to find it was too small so I ordered the next half size up. They were still a little tight, but after a week of breaking them in they felt better. I would like it if there were an option to get the shoes in a wide version just because my end toe still rubs on the inside and it often hurts by the end of the day. After now wearing the shoes for a couple of weeks it has not relieved any plantar fasciitis pain. For the price, I am a little disappointed.

Feel “flat”. Too wide.

The shoe overall is made well with the exception of the left shoe. It makes me feel like I am supinating and gives me a backache. Love the colors and arch support, but shoe is a bit stiff.

The back of the shoe caves in, or at least seems to slouch when you put the shoe on. And I'm not on to slip my shoes on and off without tying them so it's not that. Started happening the second time I wore them. I'm an ASICS die hard and have owned at least 5 pairs of gel nimbus specifically, but have never had this issue. Maybe it's just a bad lot.

I got a size 9, my usual size. And they are too small.

ASICS have always been true to size for me. These are way small. I always wear a 9 1/2. My friend wears 8-8 1/2 and they fit her and she will buy them from me. Also, very stiff. Not like others. Very disappointed.

Okay, but not as comfortable as earlier GEL-Nimbus. When I purchased my first pair I was amazed - I didn't know shoes could be so comfortable. I was disappointed with the new style - no where near as comfortable.

Bought to replace Nimbus 19s and the fit is entirely different. Foot felt narrower, shoe feels much longer.

Great cushioning but.... I tend to under pronate when I walk but seem to be more neutral when I run. These push my heels out a little which is definitely not what I need. I'm going to give them another couple of weeks and see how I get on. My GT 2000 7 where much lighter and were better all round. They do look lovely though :)

The toe box is very wide. Seems to me ASICS should be making a regular and a wide shoe option. When I tie my shoes, they buckle up at the top of the laces. I have been a nimbus lover for years but I'm probably going to be trying something else.

Cute shoe but runs narrow and doesn't have as much gel cushioning as my old nimbus

I've ordered these sneakers many times. Although I love the sneaker, the shoe laces have changed and appear to be cheap. I have to retie them constantly. This has never happened before. They look like the type of shoelace that is found in a baby shoe. I won't be ordering this shoe again. So disappointing!

Shoe breaks down too quickly. The outer sole wears out way too early and the support and cushioning break down with limited miles.

I have owned ASICS for years. Every pair always seem to rip out in the heel after wearing for several months. No I do not leave my shoes tied and slip my feet into them. I was pleased so far with this purchase until I again put my foot in the shoe and the cushion on the heel "pushed down" so now it feels like a bunched up sock behind my Achilles. Only one shoe is doing it and I haven't owned these shoes very long. That is the only disappointment currently.

I like these sneakers. The color is awesome. Im obsessed with how they look- so bright and pink. I get compliments on them all the time. My only complaint is the heel. The padded part behind your ankle- it kinda isn't sturdy at all. I feel like the cushion got smooshed down. Thats the best way to describe it. And I always untie them to put them on so its not like im stomping my heel into them until I get them on. Otherwise they're comfortable. I run a couple miles in them a day. Nothing strenuous. They hold up well to jogs. I have hiked in them too & they were alright. Not ideal but good. I do like them alot but im not sure id buy them again when this pair is worn out.

Love the look but my 21s are much more comfortable. Little bummed.

I bought these shoes about 7 months ago. I am a nurse and only wear the shoes at work. For comfort, the shoes have been amazing. However, I am disappointed in their condition. Both of my shoes have rips by where my toes rest. Although my shifts are long, I do not wear the shoes enough for already having rips in them after 7 months of owning them. The comfort is unbeatable, but for the price, the quality is not good.

I was disappointed with the gel nimbus 22. The cushioning is great but I found the heel much larger than previous versions, so it struck the ground first when I put my foot down, which altered the stride. I actually returned these as they didn't feel right for my feet. I'm hoping the gel nimbus 23 will be equally cushioned but without quite such a large clumpy heel..

This is the second pair of the Nimbus 22 I have worn. First pair awesome. Second pair not so much. The worst heel blisters I have had in a long time after my first five mile walk. Unfortunately, I can’t exchange them since they’ve been worn. I would have taken pictures of my heels, but no one wants to see them. I am hoping the shoes will be fine after I am healed up. (no pun intended)

I'm giving this a 3 because It looks like a good shoe, just that it is far too narrow for me.
That said, it was easy to return and I was refunded immediately. I just think it wasn't the show for me. I must need a wide fitting.
