Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 23

These are a big upgrade from the 22’s which I found to be loose around the ankle and the laces were constantly untied. These are better at the ankle and haven’t had to retire them once. Also great cushioning on the soul.

I prefer sneakers with a lot of cushioning and good arch support, and I love these. Wearing these feelings like walking on marshmallows on springs -- but in a good way. I normally wear a 7.5 in regular shoes but ordered 8 and they fit well.

The sizing has changed since I bought my last pair of ASICS. The fit is definitely shorter & narrower. But I love the arch support & superb cushioning so I'm going to try a 1/2 size up.

I ordered my regular size & had to return for a half size larger. Would suggest ordering larger!

Great for my plantar fascitis but recommend sizing up 1/2 size due to all the extra cushioning.

I have such horrible feet. My pain is pretty bad after three or 4 miles. I have looked forever to find any kind of shoe that I can walk in after a foot injury that doesn’t hurt me. I wore them in the house for a few days, but you really can’t tell from that. The last two days, I have walked over 4 miles, and my feet actually feel pretty good. I find this incredibly amazing. I’m going to Portugal at Christmas, and will be taking these with me for the long walks up and down hills. Hopefully they continue to be as amazing as they are now.

I've been told that Asics shoes fit a narrow foot, so I gave these a try. The 11M was a touch to tight, so I ordered the 11.5, which was definitely too long. These shoes are more straight from heel to toe than my narrow running shoes. I need a narrow heel and a wider toe box. These do not have a wide enough toe box, even though they are not "narrow" shoes. No way to make these fit me.

. Due to foot surgery I take it easy with new footwear. I wore them in house for a couple of hours and they seem to fit like a glove. Time will tell as I break them in further. They do support my feet, feel like my feet are being swaddled.

The shoe looks great, lightweight, and felt sturdy on my foot. However, it was so narrow that it actually cut off circulation to my toes within minutes. I compared it to another set of sneakers and these are noticeably narrower. I'm going to order in a wider width if they have my size, but definitely buyer beware.

Although I consistently wear 7.5 M, this shoe was on the short side. The 8 felt truer to a 7.5. My prescription orthotics fit with no problem in both sizes. However, even with the orthotics, I also felt that I was rolling out to the side (see the Q&A). Overall comfort was otherwise good in the 1/2 size larger. Compared to other athletic shoes I have, these also look big.

I love how they look! I ordered a wide size. It was really tight on my ankles, but the toe box was fine. I need a neutral shoe and these caused me to supinate. They felt very cushiony.

Ok...the past 3 pairs of these have had a hole rubbed through where my big toe is. I change she's every 4-5 months. I only wear them for daily exercise sessions. I've worn gel nimbus for years and this is a problem. I guess I'll look for another model until asics finds a more durable material for the gel nimbus. Pretty bummed. :(

I like the look and feel of Asics shoes but the fit is all wrong. I wear 8.5 in all other running shoes but the Asics are too short. Tried my regular 8.5 and it was too short, tried the 9 and it was too big
