Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 23

I tend to wear a very wide running shoe, and the Asics tend to fit my feet well. I bought a pair of Nimbus 22s last year and replaced them with the 23 this year, which didn't rub my Morton's toe as much as the 22s. I was disappointed that the sole wore out "fast" and that I started to see some holes developing in the upper where it hits the outer curve of the side of my foot, but then I looked at my walking and running stats and see that I wore these for around 700 miles so I suppose "fast" is only in terms of calendar time - these shoes gave me more milage than could be reasonably expected and owe me nothing. I don't know why so many wide shoes are only ever offered in the most conservative, boring colors in men's shoes (which tend to be pretty dull anyway) but at least the bluish-gray this year adds a little bit of color over the usual black/white or white/black combinations that wide shoes usually come in.

My first pair of these are noticeably louder/squeakier than my Nimbus 22's on some hard surfaces. Is this to be expected?

These shoes are beautiful and I really wanted to like them. However the toe box is narrower than on a lot of other Asics models and my toes felt cramped. There isn't enough curvature in the shoe and my big toes started to hurt.

These shoes fit like a glove. Very comfortable right out of the box. Very cushy.

Fits a bit tight but that could be due to the fact that I haven't really worked them in yet. Ran a few miles, I do like them far better than the 22's.

Runs half size small.
