Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 23 Knit

Fit great! Love there is no tongue. Look nice and now I need to add words to fit the minimum guidelines...so... I hope the Colts draft well this year. I think I'm going to have leftover spaghetti for supper but maybe I'll bag it and go to Panera

Most comfortable soles and inserts I've ever felt. Incredible for long runs. Again, probably the most Comfortable shoe I have ever worn. No lie!

I absolutely love these! They're extremely light, flexible, breathable, and unique. There's no popping at all like with other Asics and there was little to no break-in period. Even the shoelaces are awesome - they're very thin and not plushy or bulky, so you get a nice, tight bow when you tie them. I usually run about 3-4 miles and not once have they come loose on a basic single-knot bow. One thing to note is that since it's a knit, the design is different from standard shoes. This shoe doesn't have an independent tongue and instead the tongue section is part of the shoe itself. Also, the opening and back of the shoe hugs your ankle nicely. I'd recommend wearing ankle-high socks. I tried using these shoes while wearing no-show socks and the back part of the shoe really scratched/irritated the back of my ankle. With ankle-high socks, I didn't feel a thing.

Purchase from a 20-year client who's still, completely satisfied.

Comfort, style and cool on foot three things I look for in a shoe

A little snug. Had to use a thin sock but very comfortable.

Comfortable ride, nice snug fit with no rubbing. The snug fit can get a little too snug on hot days.

Its a nimbus. So its good. But the tie and upper part of the tennis is not great. Also, it hurts the back of the feet if you use lower socks.

Upper knit is snug around foot to hold shoe with a sturdy feel. Nice design of eyelets for laces gives a tailored look. Love the cushion of Nimbus sole at impacts it takes that takes force off of my knees. More than I expected for fit, feel, and freedom.

Super comfortable and springy. A bit narrow on the sizing. If you have even a slightly wider foot be sure to select one of their wider size options.

The shoes are good. They have good grip, however they don't good fitting on top.

Like the knit upper as it is has greater durability than the normal mesh. I run 7 days a week, partly on trails and the mesh tends to tear. The knot doesn't. There is not enough cushioning on the plastic heel keep which reduces it's longevity and comfort.

The shoe is very tight on the top of my foot. Not well designed, not comfortable at all.

Not the same as my other Numbus gel 23. It more of a sock then a traditional sneaker. Not as comfortable as last few generations of Nimbus. I'm kind of disappointed. It won't make me stop buying Ascis I still love the brand. Just not so crazy about these.

Sent them back. How can neutral shoes (think high arches) come with an opening that wasn't close to accommodating my foot. I won't buy a "sock" type opening again.

Good for short runs but I get really bad chafing from long run(5miles+) on my inside arc. I think the knit is too tight

My feet feel like they are sticking out board when I walk in them

I love the Gel Nimbus collection but struggled with this one as the back digs into the back of my ankle. I have to be sure to wear taller socks with this design.

Material on elastic portion of heel heel area left abrasions on both heels, even with protective bandaids and socks. Otherwise comfortable in other areas. Would be better suited for walking rather than running related to the running on the heel with running motion

These tore my heels up the first time I wore them walking. Gave me giant water blisters. Figured out the insoles did not fit correctly to the back of the shoe so it created a sharp ridge. And because the shoe is knit, your foot moves around a lot inside the shoe. Haven't had problems since I used scissors to cut the back of the insoles off. Probably still wouldn't run in them though.
