Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 23

Shoe has started to separate at the tread on the sole after 3 weeks of use.

They are wearing out and I haven't even been using them for a month I think they came out with a defect or poor quality

Nimbus 23 update didn't work for me-- bad blisters on outside pinky toes. Never had a problem like this with any other Nimbus version (have run w/ Nimbus for 15+yrs, ~25 miles/week runner). Need to cinch the heck out of the toe box to minimize irritation, still an issue. Time to try different shoe

Great foundation. I'm a heavier, under-pronated 56 year old just getting back into running after years of lower back struggles. The nimbus feels great right out of the box, giving both confidence and comfort.

Sorry to say, shoes has been torn only after a 2 week.I need to discard the shoes. This is the first time I observed otherwise I have a great experience with ASICS shoes.

Like walking on squishy pillows. Noticeably less structure and support than earlier versions of this style (and I've owned many). Very disappointing Won't buy again unless I can try on first.

Sizing chart is off, the cms are different than the box

They used to make great shoes but I have tried them for the last several years since I've been running in ASICS for 35 years. These we're horrible. They feel cheap.

The 23 falls well short of what prior models provided. The tongue is way too "puffy" and makes it difficult to tie the laces. The overall support of the sole is lacking. I cannot use this show for my running.

After years of wearing gel cumulus I decided to try the nimbus and nothing but heel pain and other issues.

They completely changed the shape and fit of the gel nimbus. After 12-15 years, I need to find a new model

In a word, disappointing. These Gel Nimbus 23 are my 14th pair of Gel Nimbus, the prior had all been Gel Nimbus 22. Although some noticeable improvement of cushioning in some areas, the overall template/footprint of the shoe has also noticeably changed. The shoe was initially comfortable enough for casual wearing, and so my assessment was that they would be equally as comfortable for road work as the 22 had been. Unfortunately, after a few miles on the road they begin to feel restrictive and uncomfortable, and not as generous regarding toe room feel as the 22 had been. These are supposed to be size 9. I am barely a size 9 so I had assumed the room would be similar to that of the 22, but based on the feel, the footprint has either deviated too much from the prior model or there there is something inherently wrong with this pair of shoes. I was going to go to the 24 next but am now concerned and skeptical that a global design change has made it so that Asics is no longer a shoe that I can confidently continue with.

The shoes are perfect. The ones I was sent were clearly worn and even laced up. One of them did not have tissue in it, like all shoes do when they are new. I called and they did not deny it, so apparently, if they can get away with it, they try to. I was sent a return label, but I should not be in this position. Disappointed.

The soles of these 4e shoes are too narrow leaving the foot inside to hang over about 3/8". Changing the lacing pattern helps the fit but can't compensate for the narrow footbed. I started wearing Asaics with a pair of trail runners that fit well. The same size in the gel nimbus and cumulus are much narrower. Wasted my money. Going back to New Balance.

Wore 1 time and there is a crease created along big toe that rubs against it till raw so am am unable to wear the shoe. Spent 150 for shoe threw away cause called and the would not doing anything about it.

Cheap shoe/high price. Much better options at this price range

It is already breaking - the sole is flapping up on the right shoe. Can I have it replaced?

Shoes looked really low quality in person so returned

The new shoes arrived with the metal pin still in them. Hard to wear with the pin.

I have been wearing the Nibus for 10 years now and have always loved them as they helped to keep my ankle from rolling out. Well not only do the newer versions not help with that, they actually make it much worse than a regular shoe that was purpose build to help with that.

I have purchased 7 pairs of Gel-Nimbus shoes. After 6 months my big toe on each shoe came through the top. VERY DISSATISFIED!!!
