The wide is not wide enough. I ordered the wide because the regular width is just a little too snug, but there isn't much difference in the wide and regular width. I had to wear my thinnest pair of socks in order to be able to wear the shoe. Other than that, the cushioning in the forefoot is better than it has been in years.

I loved them the way they were!!! The design seems to have changed -They are not as soft or cushioned as previous Gel Nimbus. They feel very hard and rigid.

Asics is the only brand I ever choose. I am a marathon runner and running is my passion. My new Gel Nimbus are fantastic ... no need to wear in, so much cushioning and I love the colours.

The fit is good & they are fairly comfortable, good ventilation, maybe too much. They look a little clunky. I prefer my previous other brand running trainers. I wouldn't pay this money again.

The soft cushioning is just not like it used to be, in the Nimbus 17. I love the look of them. I am returning them. These felt better than the 20 or 21 but I am still waiting for Asics to make a more plush Nimbus.

I was sure hoping with the new Gel Nimbus 22’s that things would be better. More cushion than prior but not as much as when I started wearing them(16 I believe it was.). Also the heel in this one seems a bit clunky and too thick to me. Please Asics do it right next time. Unfortunately these are going back.

Wish it had more cushion like a Nike air max. True to size and I like that it comes in wide, just wish they made wide shoes in other colors in the gel nimbus.

I purchased this version based on the mileage my last pair of ASICS received. I've currently worn them 2 weeks and ran roughly 15-17 miles, along with working in them 40 hours non stop walking. Unfortunately, my ankles & heels hurt. It's an observation I made that I hadn't noticed in any prior ASICS I've purchased. I'm needing different insoles that keep my knees aligned with my ankles & feet while running. I've support this brand from years; however this version happened to not work well with my foot and running step.

Gel Nimbus was recommended to me by a podiatrist. Bought Nimbus 17 which only lasted 2 months before both shoes had a hole in the upper fabric. These were replaced by the shop from where they were purchased. Within 6 months the uppers were again worn through. Given that they were never used for running, only everyday walking, I was very disappointed. However, as the podiatrist insisted I needed to wear Nimbus - as they are supposedly the best cushioned trainer available (?) - I then bought Nimbus 21. Despite the soles looking almost new the uppers are again defective. Really disappointed that such an expensive trainer is not lasting longer.

These run 1/2 size large. I though unneeded room for swelling but when I took these on a few runs and my feet were sliding forward and backward. I can't return since I wore them.

not as comfortable as my old pair. My old pair had a softer insole that felt like walking on pillows. These are similar but harder. I'm hoping the soften up with use. Otherwise they fit well.

I bought a half size bigger yet still are very small and my toes touch the end of the shoe which is uncomfortable when running or even walking. The padding in the back of the show seems to push my foot forward so although there is room in the shoe due to buying a half size bigger, my foot is being pushed forward to the front by all the padding at the back.
Extremely comfortable under the foot and very supportive. Extremely light weight.

I found my foot moved to much in them and arch support was not as good as I thought it would be. For myself Have gone for Kinsei over this one. It is difficult with slightly wider foot and high arch, have to go a size up and then can have trouble with the fit. Kinsei has wider toe box and I only had to go up half size and good arch support.

I feel the shoes are very narrow. I wear a 6.5 and always buy a 7 in asics which allows extra room in front of the toe. The toe box is tight, entire shoe narrow, shoe laces are really short, and my toes are dang near touching the end. I don't feel that the shoe allows for proper stride and caused a lot of leg pain when walking and jogging. I previously wore gel noosa and will probably be going back. On the plus side they look very nice!

Material used will rip at the toes very quickly, very tight fitting and I feel my foot is going to the side in one of them.
Have to say it's the first pair of ASICS I have gotten that aren't a comfy fit and I have been wearing ASICS for a number of years even got my son his first pair at Christmas, bought his dad a pair they bought me a pair for my birthday. I love them usually maybe they just don't suit my foot x

Cute, but they're like running with bricks on your feet. Very hard feeling, and heavy. I run between 4-12 miles during my runs, but I can't imagine running that far in these.

Ran a but small, had to return for a half size up. These aren't really pink, they are more neon. Not as practical. Somewhat disappointed.

I've stuck with Gel Nimbus for over 20 years, but each new iteration since around 18 is no longer better than the one before, which makes me sad. They have definitely gotten narrower, so I have to release the laces to the loosest position which then makes it a bit hard to tie the laces (not much slack). Also, the laces themselves on this GN22 were really flimsy, which also surprised me. I haven't had problems running in them, but they just don't feel as supportive as the older models. I do like the color scheme, though.

I have worn gel nimbus for years and years. I am regularly a size 7.5. Have always gone to an 8 for running (ALWAYS)!! I ordered online and my gel nimbus 22's are loose. As I said. I have worn this shoe for years and years.

I don't know why Asics can't get it together with their sizing. Ordered 1/2 size larger this time, and still too small. Because I was sick in mid-March, didn't have an oppty to do the 30-day trial, so am stuck w/these shoes and have to wear the thinnest possible socks. Not a great solution. Styling and colors are good, but sizing way off.

I love the cushioning these shoes provide and haven't found anything that provides anything even close but I'm sad that after only 1 week of wearing them there in significant wear already on the soles. I know they aren't going to last long and for $160 I'm probably going to look into other options when the soles wear through. I have found that my soles wear through on all my ASICS.

I absolutely hate the high heel drop. Feels like I'm running in heels. Makes my shins hurt (never had that problem before). Wish I bought the shoe for men instead since I read it has a lower heel drop. Besides that very irritating feature the shoes are comfortable.
