This shoe is made differently from a year ago. It no longer has air cushioning and arch support. The gym shoe offers no support any more. Very disappointed when I put my new shoes on there were less support than my same shoes from a year ago

Love the color and fit. feels great on my feet. However they are difficult to get on and the back squishes down in the back unless you hold it up and in place while you are putting on your shoe which is very annoying and time consuming when putting on your shoes. most importantly I ordered these in October , I wear them 45 mins 5 times a week for my workout. these shoes have never even been worn out side and the mesh is breaking and there is a hole in the side of the shoe already. I feel at this price the quality should be better.

These just don't feel right. Not sure if they are too big or if the last was changed. This is my second pair of nimbus and they are not the same as the first pair. I have worn asics for years, I used to buy cumulus and they always fit great but I switched to nimbus with my last pair and I loved them. But these nimbus are just not right. They don't feel as heavenly as the older pairs did. Whatever changes asics made, I hope they revert them and go back to the original nimbus.

These are very hard and hurt my feet even more than my previous cheap sneakers. They seem to be on the smaller side. I purchase a 7, half size up. The first time I wore them, they seemed okay. The second time my foot is slipping all the way to the front and hitting the end. Not sure when is going on with this shoe but it is off.

I've been a loyal Nimbus wearer from many years (started with 14). Although there have been several that have not been as good this is by far my least favorite. In 'street' shoes, I wear a 7 1/2 - 8. I learned early on that with Nimbus, I need an 8 1/2 and it's worked well for years. This sizing on the 22 is off and I needed to go up to a 9. That didn't really bug me as much as the arch seems off when I went up in size. I'll wear these for a bit then probably switch. I see no improvement in this version. I was so fond of the 21 that I was hopeful that I'd feel the same way about the 22. So bummed.

These do not have much cushion. I had to buy insoles to add cushion. The old pair of "Gel Nimbous"(that has no number) have much more cushion then this pair or the pair I bought last yr of Gel-Nimbus 22. The clerk at the store said he had heard this complaint from others.

I love Asics products. I don't love this shoe. It isn't as comfortable as other pairs I've owned and I've owned over 15 pairs. I really should have sent this one back. It's just ok.

I am an avid ASICS Lover always get the get the Gel Nimbus this specific shoe (22) was not great. Found that there was no support in the body of the shoe, felt very stretchy and caused my feet to slide to the outer part of the shoe which didn’t happen with previous versions of the gel nimbus.

Comfortable trainer except for the fact they dipped to low at the forefront for my foot.
I also wear orthotics which was not an issue though. It seems the latest model looks the same.
A shame as I now need to hunt for another brand.
Was needing something top of the range which was flat all the way through the footbed.

These trainers are tight fitting. I wear a UK 4 in all shoes and trainers but I found the toe area particularly the big toe area could have a few millimetres space. My toes are a little sore when I get back from my run.

Beautiful trainer but did not find comfortable.
Returned and awaiting refund - concerned that there are complications with this now the UK is no longer in the EU. This puts me off buying on line in the future.

It seems that I need a shoe horn for this sneaker. Unlike the previous models, I was able to slip on the sneaker, but every time I put on this sneaker the back of the sneaker roles down. So I need a shoe horn to keep the back of the sneaker from rolling down. Secondly, this sneaker has less structure. It just feels like mesh.

I’m a longtime gel nimbus fan. I remember having style 14 and now we are on style 22. Style 22 is NOT as comfortable or supportive as style 21 and lower. Fit seemed comfortable but the front of my foot floated around causing hip and knee aches. Support not good. I returned to old style 21 and am much more comfortable. Please change design back,

The Model GelNimbus 22 has narrower toe box and my feet were miserable trying them in the house.
The Model #21 has the wider toe box but cannot find them anywhere online any longer.
ASICS: Make a an alternate model with the wider toe box of the #21! A few friends and I already agree on this. I'd like to return these. Need a shipping label.

Asics. Vionics. New Balance.

Rating lower than previous models because toe box is narrower, fabric so thin my feet are cold, and right shoe squeaking every step. Ive been buying 3-4 pair of these per year and this is first pair I've been disappointed with

All my ASICS size 9 are 27 cm long and equivalent to 42.5 European size. This particular pair of size 9 was only 25.75 cm long and European size of 40.5, clearly two sizes too small. I cannot comment on the quality because I couldn't put them on.

The shoe has good support and is very cushioned. However, I find the shoe to be very stiff, and after repeated wearings, it has yet to be "comfortable." I'm used to being able to walk comfortably from the beginning in Abeos, so will go back to those.

Unfortunately, I've decided not to purchase anymore GEL-Nimbus. I've bought GEL-Nimbus shoes for over a decade, and the quality has really taken a downturn over the last couple of years, but this purchase was the last straw. The regular width suddenly was too small so I ordered the same shoe in wide, and they still felt too small. It felt like my foot was going to slip off the sole. The fabric top began to wear through after 1 month of use. It was great while it lasted, but no more GEL-Nimbus for me.

Too small. Rigid and uncomfortable. I was very sad I had to return them, they are a good looking shoe. I miss the 18's, they were the best.

i have worn Acics for years this product seems cheaply made. No support around the toe area looks like the material is wearing in that area I'm ready to throw them out only after 3 months. Very disappointing..
