A bit though and stiff but it's good for trail running.

I have been wearing Asics Nimbus models for a number of years. They fit well, wear well and are comfortable for walking up and down the hills in Texas. As I have aged, I walk thirty miles or more each week rather than running fifty to sixty miles per week. Asics has always been I brand I can rely upon.

I have purchased Sorel, Out and About boots for my Granddaughters. They love them.

I got these after I returned a brand that didn't fit properly. I was happy the return process was easy and they sent me new ones even though I had obviously worn the first ones.

I've used Nimbus for several series now. The 23 is very comfortable for running just like the previous ones. One thing that felt different is the top seems to be tighter, after longer runs, it leaves a red area on the back of my feet. I hope the shoes can loosen up after a while

This is a great running shoe and i have been coming back for years. This model has provided all the comfort and support that is needed when I am earning my miles.

These would have been great if they were really wide as marked. But they were definitely not. Sent them back.

Perfect- just needs some colour!! Somewhat restricted to Nimbus 2E due to width and pronation. I'm longing for a version with even 1/2 as much colour as any other ASICS shoe. Fit is perfect and feels good 30 miles in

Great fit and shock absorption. Would like them to be a little softer, though. Nice selection of colors. I will continue to by the Nimbus.

Love the shoe! However, the sole started peeling within the first week. Warranty form was filled out and replacement is doing just fine!

These shoes are suppose to be double wide but they are not. They are normal width compared to the Gel Nimbus 20, 21 and 22. I normally where standard width but had to get the 4E just so they would be normal with. After ordering 4 pair I finally got one that is comfortable.

I'm 170 lbs. That means I'll get 3 months at most before a typical shoe breaks down unless of course it's polyurethane. Eva materials don't hold up for anyone Beyond 150 lb more than 4 months. These shoes felt great for the first ten or so runs. Now I'm beginning to get those sneaky and often creepy mysterious pain commonly known as old man ailments.
The truth is however, that if you can afford to buy a new pair of running shoes each week you could run 5 days a week regardless of the material in the shoe. These however, hold up on an average scale and will need replacement in 3 months at most, if covering no more than 15 miles per week.

Been wearing Nimbus for years. I would have liked a more solid (wider base) for better stability.

Really good shoe. Feet feel good all day long. They do wear out quickly at the toe due to the thin, lightweight fabric used there. Expect to replace sooner than should be needed.

Like running on marshmallows.
My very old running shoes were beat with holes and no cushioning. I run with a mid to front foot landing, having switched from a heel strike a long time ago for my knees. As a result, I don't really count on the cushioning in my shoes.
The Nimbus 23 were so soft I almost returned them immediately. There was close to no road feel and push off felt strange. But Zappos had their 30 day trial on these shoes so I stuck with them. After a couple of runs, I'm more used to the odd feeling of almost no impact when I put my foot down.
The only negative side to these shoes so far is fatigue in my foot and arch area. Something about the cushioning is stressing out my foot. Hopefully that gets better with time.

I love Asics but sadly I don't understand why every pair or model I get for my teenage son wear a hole on the outside fabric where his pinky toe is no matter how big or wide or which model I get. Would love to hear back if asics has a suggestion on a way to make them last more than a month. He wears thems for PE, church and on the weekends so less than 10 hours a week and no running outside pe.

Comfortable shoes and normal length but instep too high causing a tight fit over the top of the mid foot. Tried loosening up the laces and even pulling laces out of nearest eyelet but still didn’t fit my foot correctly.

Fit, color, and feel as described.
Nice shoe...but..
Expensive and probably not noticeably better than lesser priced models.

Asics nimbus have been my go to shoe for many years. Another win with the nimbus 23. They are comfortable, good fitting, and have plenty of room for my toes.

Very comfortable and supportive. My back used to hurt while running in another brand but I switched to the Gel Nimbus 22 and the pain stopped. As you can tell this is my second pair of Asics.

I have purchased both the mens and womens of the Asics Gel Nimbus 23 and for some reason the womens shoe seems to have more comfort and support but I love them both
