Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 22

This shoe was a complete disappointment. I previously owned the same exact shoe in a different color and these are made completely different. They are stiff, not supportive and have minimal cushioning.

I've been loyal to ASICS for over ten years. The Gel-Nimbus 19 were the perfect trainer. I've tried to stay loyal and ordered a 21 and 22 but the newer ones feel heavy and clunky. I felt like my feet were having to put in extra effort to run just by wearing these trainers. I know it's a first world problem but I actually felt sad when I felt forced to move to a different brand! ASICS- why try to fix something that isn't broken?!

I want to start by saying that I've been wearing asics since 2008 and have always felt they were true to size. I received these sneakers today and was excited to try them out. Unfortunately, I couldn't even make it through the day and had to change my shoes halfway through my shift. They are so small on my feet! My toes were killing me! Again, I love asics and would recommend them to anyone; they're the only sneaker I buy. But this pair was a total bust.

I believe I was sent the ASICS size 9 in men's instead of women's. The shoes is a full inch longer then my previous ASICS in the same style and since I've been wearing the shoe I've developed a very sore Achilles' tendon. I run the same amount before and after switching from the old nimbus 21 to these. I think the toe does not slant up enough.

Terrible! Rock hard. Have nimbus 19 and can not find a comparison! I will try the 20. The 21 and 22 are made so poorly! Let's get to it ASICS!!

WEARING NIMBUS FOR YEARS. NEVER FAILS TO MEET MY EXPECTATIONS. HOWEVER ONE SHOE IS WIDER THAN THE OTHER SENT AN EMAIL TO ASICS NO REPLY AS OF YET

How is it even possible that a shoe this bulky has such little arch support and next to no cushioning? Truly an amazing flop in design. I was a fan of the Gel Nimbus for years; wore them through track and cross country season. They always stood up to a full calander year of long runs and rough weather and my feet were never sore. I stopped using them because I wasn't running as much after college and couldn't justify the price. I switched to the Salomon X Mission 3, which was a versatile shoe for high arches with a good amount of cushioning. Decided I'd try to switch back now that I'm putting in more miles again. What a mistake. My feet are sore after most runs even under 5 miles. I really wish Asics wouldn't have gone so downhill, the Nimbus was truely a great shoe at one point. Why ruin a good thing for the sake of making something seem "new" when you had a solid product?

I took my normal size in these- uk6 (I'm 5.5 in a lot of shoes) but they have really hurt my feet. I thought they would maybe loosen with wear so I wore them for two days and they are still hurting my feet and feel like they are cutting circulation after just an hour of wear. I'm really disappointed I cut the tag off these but I was so confident they would fit right but unfortunately not! I contacted ASICS about the sizing but they never responded.

You sent me women's 11 1/2 instead of men's 11 1/2. I couldn't figure out why they didn't fit because I've been running in Nimbus' for years. I didn't notice until late the box said women's. I'd like to exchange them for men's

Great shoes for bad hips. I can go for my walks now.

Very disappointed. Bought size 6 1/2 like previous old Asics and seemed OK at first and wore for a couple of walks but then found them far too small. Both my toe nails are now black and sore. They seem much tighter than my old trainers and I cannot wear them anymore. Very disappointed.

These shoes are very chunky compared to other ASICS I've owned in the past. Stability is very off. I've also noticed a lot of arch pain after runs. I'm sadly very disappointed in this shoe. I've always been a big ASICS fan but you definitely lost me on these unfortunately.

I bought these shoes a few weeks ago and have only worn them maybe 4 times. They are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever put on. I am in healthcare and on my feet 8 hours a day, I also have plantar fascittis in which I wore the Gel Nimbus for the longest time as the only shoes that would help my foot pain. Since wearing these my feet hurt so much more. They are not made like the older gel nimbus. I am very unhappy and displeased with these shoes.

The sole on the left foot seems to be improperly molded, as the inner part of the back left heel is slightly too raised, causing the inside part of my heel to constantly feel like it is sliding vertically inside the shoe when I walk. The shoe is the correct size for me, they are tied well, and I have attempted several times to readjust the sole within the shoe, but it continually causes blisters in the same area. I am certainly disappointed in the quality for the price.

I bought this shoe a couple days ago. This is my first ASICS ever and I was very excited to try them on. Right away I felt the gel cushioning that ASICS touts about but my left and right shoes felt like two completely different shoes. Left shoe had specific gel cushioning in my heel and forefoot and felt very cushy and comfortable(very tight though), but my right shoe only had cushioning in my heel. I hope this is problem exists only with my pair because one shoe was almost perfect. To give it one last chance, I tried to workout in them today and my right knee hurt after an hour and my left toes got numb. This could be a sizing issue with my left shoe and a lack of cushioning in my right shoe. When I first ordered the shoe, true fit indicated 8.5 as the right size(I'm a 8.5M generally) but now it says 9 as the right size. So I would suggest, order 1/2 size up if you're buying these in order to be truly comfortable. I am trying to order the Platinum version now in size 8.5 as true fit indicates that as my size and I am hoping to get a perfect pair! But until then, my rating will only be poor. Will Update the rating when I try on the Platinum Gel Nimbus 22.

The bottom of the sneaker is way too thin for a sneak and I hurt my toe badly!

The toe box is huge, it's not like the other Nimbus models nor does it feel the same internally

i did some research on running shoes for people who have high arches and these shoes were supposedly one of the best. I have had so much pain in my feet when running and even walking in them. I thought i just had to break them in a little bit. NOPE!!! i ran over 50 miles in the shoes and i am still having extreme pain in my feet. these are literally the worst shoes i have ever had. I will be going back to NIKE for now

The prettiest shoes ever - but if you wear a wide, or have a wide toebox - the wide shoe is NOT for you.

I would love to wear these trainers but I was sent the wrong size and despite receiving an email from the Customer Experience Hub offering me a reference number 543574 in response to my enquiry as to how to return them, I've heard nothing
