Fits true to size. They are very comfortable but on the clunky/heavy side. I prefer all black sneakers and these give the "non-slip" work shoe vibe and they are certainly not a pretty shoe by any means. I considered returning them but they are pretty comfy.

Feels a little smaller in size compared to my previous nimbus 22, but great cushion and support.

I've worn Asics for years. The only odd thing about this pair is the lacing. It makes it hard to get them on and adjusted. I will re-lace them.

I really wanted to keep these shoes because they were SO incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately, the images of the shoe online make it appear white with neon pink/orange accents. When the shoes arrived they were actually more of a pale pale green/blue. I was looking for a white shoe so I returned these due to the color.

I waited to write this review, and I’ve put about 175 miles on these now. The good: they are so cushiony. They really provide a soft foundation and wrap the foot in a very lovely way. I had no break in time with these. They felt great from the first step. The not so good: all the softness wears down fairly quickly and doesn’t offer much support. My feet are wide, and I tend to strike on the upper outside of my foot - I’m one of those folks who supinates and really needs a supportive, neutral shoe. This shoe starts they way, but about 100 miles in, I noticed that my foot was falling to the outside just lacing up. It’s gotten worse since, and the rubber bottom is in pretty bad shape. I’m actually on here looking for new shoes now. My last two shoes have been Brooks, and I can normally get 250 miles or so one them before I notice the wear and tear so much. Also, I know a few other people mentioned this, but it is very strange how sticky the rubber sounds/is. Even with headphones outside, it sounds like you have tape on the bottom of your shoes - so odd! Overall, though, if you’re not logging a lot of miles and are just looking for a comfortable athletic shoe, it’s a great choice.

Felt they were very narrow & I ordered 1/2 size larger than my normal fit. I don’t Normally wear wide shoes but I felt a wider width would have worked better for me. Unfortunately they were not available in wide width, so I had to return. Refund is taking longer than expected though.

Arch and cushion did not feel as supportive as the pair I tried in in the Asics store.

I was disappointed that there were not tongue stays to keep the tongue centered in the shoe. I have never had an ASICS show that sis not have the lace secure loop for lace to go through and hold tongue in place.

I have very high arches and have a hard time finding shoes that don't rub on the back of my heel. Asics is quickly becoming my go-to for shoes that have enough support and are comfortable for all activities.

The gel-nimbus is a good cushioning daily use running shoe. I wish these were still available in narrow width, I have to add extra inserts to accommodate my narrow feet, but they still slide "side to side" when I pick up the pace.

I walk about ten miles per day and go up and down a lot of stairs, by mile 7 the comfort is gone. However, the first 3-4 miles they feel amazing!!

I think these are comfortable but I found after the first week that the left shoe squeaks every time I take a step. It's noisy and annoying.

These were super comfortable out of the box, and were like heaven to walk in. However, I took them out for a long walk today and found that my toes kept bumping into the front of the toe box. I think the next size up will be too wide, but I may give them a try.

I have been buying these shoes for several years. Generally love them; however, the toe box is wider than before, which is not my preference as i have a narrow foot.

The Gel-Nimbus 23 fit perfectly. They could use just a little more padding in the heal and that is why I gave them a 4 star rating.

So far so good. It's like running on air. My knees don't hurt after a long run. They sometimes rub the back of the ankle.

A very solid and comfortable shoe. Ample cushion without feeling weighty. True to size. Wide width was a good fit for me. They don't feel quite as comfortable as the gel-nimbus 22 pair I had...but there could be other factors affecting my heels and knees. Will continue to purchase this brand.

The shoes are the most comfortable Nibmus' yet. My only complaint is the elastic band on the inside, it bunches and rolls on the edges and I know it will be the downfall of these shoes. The tongue is also thick which is odd but only bothers me aesthetically.

I love this product a lot. My only concerns is the mesh at the toes gets holes easily. Hoping this pair can hang in a little longer. The customer service provided is always amazing and so very appreciated.

Super cute shoes. I normally wear a size 8 medium width, but this one felt felt shorter and narrower than they should have.
