I sized up to 9 in the Nimbus 19 and have been wearing a 9 ever since. This Nimbus 22 size 9 is a 1/2 size too big fir sure. It's length is too long, and it's too wide in the toe box. I'm in a quandary about wearing a runshoe too big with a thicker sock, or not wear them..

Love the color and cushioning and don't give much support. Also feel snug through the toes, and I had sized up by a whole size. For the price, would have expected more support.

These look nice but not as cushioning as my old ones. Just not the same... pinches on top of my foot and causes blisters. I want to love them like my 18 but just not held to the same standard.

Shoes felt hard when having them on. I thought it would feel more cushiony, but I felt no cushion at all. Inserts thin and cardboard like. The shoe is very sturdily mage though. I don't know where the "Gel" was suppose to be?

Does not have big enough toe part. Hard to loosen and break in.

I usually wear a size 7 or 7.5 but this was a size 8 and seemed to fit length wise. However, the arch support felt like it was by my toes not my arches and I didn't feel any cushion or gel support either. These were even more uncomfortable than the Merrell Moabs that I returned. I'm sending these back. I have very high arches and need something that will work and I'm running out of options other than the Vionic Walker.

I have always loved the way the Gel-Nimbus has worked for my feet BUT this newest shoe highly disappoints. There is not the support on the bottom of show across upper foot. The style is great BUT the support not so much.

I was looking for cross trainers but both of the Asics shoes I ordered did not fit well even though I ordered a size larger. Could barely put the shoe on as it was too tight. My normal size for shoes in 9 1/2 to 10.

I've been wearing gel nimbus for years. These don't have nearly as much cushioning in front. After a short walk, I was in pain.

I am a nurse and on my feet all day. I did my research on this shoe. I thought it would be comfortable but it wasn't. First few days I had pain in the bottom of my left foot, and I thought I was just breaking it in. Although the pain stopped these shoes do not give any back support and it is very unfortunate that I cannot return them.

I have been buying Gel Nimbus for so many years. The new 22 design wore sour within 8 weeks. Ima thallium bought a second pair thinking it was just a fluke, but the exact same thing happened. So disappointing. Terrible design flaw!,

I loved the nimbus 17. It was so soft and cushioned. This is exactly the opposite, hard, not cushioned at all, and narrow. Please get rid of flytefoam and bring back the soft, cloudlike cushioning of the 17! And widen the toebox!

You know what. I purchased a gel n Imbus 3 years ago but these were stiffer and harder. I am wearing them in but because i wore them I n general i could not return them.unfortunatly i must keep em because im to honest. The shoes felt different but they will have to do because my plantar facitis and nueropathy been acting up and crocs was no longer helpi g. I wonder why it is this way. My mom just baught 2 pairs herself. She will try differences between gels .

I was so excited to get the Gel Nimbus 22 but was so disappointed and confused about how they can have such a perfect shoes, and then when updating the new model forget what makes their shoes good to being with. Here are the issues: 1. The back heel area; when you slide the shoe on, the back part crumples up with your sock and it feels like you have fabric wedged back there. It isn't a solid structure like their previous models. It slides and bunches and moves around. I recommended a shoe horn when putting these on. 2. There is too much fabric around the toes and ball of the foot. My foot feels like its floating around up there but then overly tight where you tie the shoe laces. Having so much give by the toes makes my toes hurt after running. 3. Shoe laces are too short. I am giving up on these (too late to return them since I've worn them) and I am going to buy a pair of the 21's.

First I want to thank Asics for the discount for healthcare workers! I was needing new shoes for work and running so it was perfect timing. I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in the Nimbus 22's. I had foot surgery 8 years ago and Nimbus has been my go too shoe for work and running, but I am unable to run in the 22's they hurt my feet and they do not provide the same support for long work shifts on my feet. The toe box is to narrow I had to buy new thin socks to wear with these shoes. I have been buying Nimbus shoes for years and I wish they would bring the 18's back! I am now on the search for a new brand of running show.

A standard width fitting. Had hoped it would be a wider fit.

I emailed Ascis and have not heard back yet but the soles of my shoes are peeling. I only wore the shoes for 1 week on carpet at work. I have never had a shoe do this before. They are comfortable however I can not wear them when they are peeling. I hope to hear from someone at Ascis ASAP. Thank you.
