Disappointed - the Gel-Nimbus 21s and most of the prior generations fit me well. The Gel-22 is strangely wide in the arch area - sneaker is not at all tailored to shape of foot. Therefore foot has too much lateral motion in shoe. Am returning...

Always loved the Nimbus and while the colors are great, this pair just does not have the cushioning I'm used to from the previous models.

Very smart looking shoe however I usually wear a size 6 and the 7 was too small so had to return. I have slim feet but these were too narrow..

The color of the shoes in the picture is not an accurate representation of the true color. They are grey not light purple. In addition, I have worn the Asics Gel Nimbus (earlier models) for years. This year, the 22 feels much narrower than previous models 21 and 20.

I love my GEL-Numbus 22. It's the only shoe I can run comfortably without flaring foot and heal pain. I love them so much I've had 3 pairs in 1.5 years. And that's the problem. The perfect shoe wears out quickly. Holes in the uppers appear within months. I don't run marathons or on trails. I just jog around the neighborhood so it's not me, it's the shoe. I don't want to breakup but the relationship is on it's last legs. Sometimes you gotta love something so much you set it free. Bye GEL-Numbus 22. It was good while it lasted.

The toe is already starting to peel. Also I had no idea there would be Tokyo all over the design.

Inside the back of this shoe sometimes rolls and rubs the back of my foot. The first time I wore them I got a terrible blister. I have to make sure the inside of the shoe is smooth when I put them on. For what these shoes cost, this shouldn't be necessary. I have had several other pairs of ASICS and this hasn't been a problem before.

Very tight in the toes. Bought my regular size 9.5 . Seems to be a bit tight. The 10 is too big.

This is my first pair of ASICS. I read the reviews and I read the website that said not to size up. So I didn't. But I should have. Very tight across my toes and becomes too tight for running after 20 minutes. I live in Texas. Also... the shoes have a lot of "cush" in the heels and it's very noticeable that the heels are higher than the toe. Almost makes me feel like I'm walking on my tippy toes.

Very comfy, however, as soon as I slipped it on my foot, the heel kind of puckered/clumped up. Now it rubs on my heel if I don't put the shoe on very carefully. Other than that, AMAZING shoe if you're going to be running a lot or on your feet all the time.

This shoe felt more narrow than I expected. I am recovering from Plantar Fasciitis and wanted to try another shoe model to give my foot another supportive experience. I usually wear Hoka Clifton or Bondi. I can now walk 2-4 miles relatively pain free in the Hoka shoes. I had these shoes on for 30 minutes and the pain ignited once again. I use a Powerstep Max insole to help with support. I have worn Ascis in the past...Cumulus and Kayano. I guess my foot needs are different now.
I'd also recommend:

I bought these a few weeks ago. I feel I am still breaking them in. I was having heel pain in my last pair of ASICS, but I wear them to work and I am on my feet all day in healthcare, so it was time for a new pair. I bought ty e Nimbus -18 several tears ago and loved the cushioning of the entire foot. These were the best shoes I have ever purchased. Since then I read the reviews and it's about a 50/50 split between loving and hating the newer versions of Nimbus. So I took a chance....I am not convinced by these 22 nimbus. The heel has great support and cushion, but the toe area feels like there is little to no cushion. In fact my toes and ball of my foot hurt after wearing these shoes. The top of the arch of my foot started hurting a few days ago. I am bummed but will wear them until they wear out and I think I will try a different model next time.

I bought these a month ago so I could start training for my marathon. After running a maximum of 5 runs (no longer than 5 mi each), the sole is already peeling off the bottom. I was surprised to see this as I was expecting the quality to last many more miles. They also fit a little small. I would size up.

Well, I read the other reviews and they stated these are not as comfortable as they used to be but I took a chance and they are 100% correct. Not nearly the same quality or comfort level. What happened Asics ? why did you change something so comfortable and wonderful. My old ones were well worth the high price and these are not. I guess I'll have to keep these because I've got to replace my old Asics Gel Nimbus. This new shoe doesn't hold a candle to my old ones that are so CUSHY and CONFORTABLE. Don't mess with perfection is all I have to say. Probably has to do with money though; use cheaper supplies but keep the prices high; it's all about the profit I guess; follow the money trail as they say. So disappointed

I have been wearing Asics running shoes for over 30 years. I have always worn a size 9 medium. I followed the advice of other reviews and ordered this style in 9 1/2 wide. They almost fit, but were a little short for one of my big toes. I have never purchase an ASICS running shoe for over $100 dollars before, and have always been happy. I thought I would try a trade up to see if there is a difference. It seems to me that if Asics wants their customers to trade up, they should be consistent in the sizing. I also ordered another pair of Asics at half the price of this one, in my regular size, and it fits perfectly. So, I ended up keeping the cheaper pair.

Pretty tight around the ball of my feet, praying that they'll stretch out! If not, then I should've gone up half a size. Very supportive besides that.

Very narrow in fit. I like a narrow fit but, surprised me. Lots of cushion in the heal.

They are snug like a lot of ratings. I'm still breaking them in, so I hope they'll feel more comfortable soon. I only bought them for walking and running, but I certainly could not have kept them for work in retail!!! It's great how they think of more padding for landing for running, but it feels like my toes are hanging over in flip flops.

These are my first pair of Asics and so far I'm impressed. Seems true to size and very comfortable. However, these are the SQUEEKIEST shoes I've ever worn. No sneaking around in these, that's for sure. I've only had them 2 weeks, and I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep them because the squeek is driving me insane. Never had shoes do this.

I would have to say the netting across the shoe wears out very quickly unlike the last years nimbus... I would have to say I would have to say I like the nimbus 21 better.
