They're comfortable but the soles seem so sticky, it almost feels like they stick to the ground and it requires slightly more effort to take each next step. It's weird.

Very nice shoes. They give a great feeling of stability thanks to their strong soles and hold around the ankle. They fit however a bit small, I had to go for one size bigger. But I love them and recommend them!

Luv these sneakers. Good arch support. I usually take a women's 5M. A 5.5M fit me. Would buy again!

Just as comfy as the 22's but I'm not keen on the sewn in tongue. I'd much rather have the tongue free like in the 22's, and have the loop on the tongue to string the laces through. The sewn in tongue makes the shoe more snug, resulting in having to change how I lace up my shoes to prevent 5th metatarsal pain when running. So glad some flashier colors are returning!

Love the cushion and support for my runs; feel very stable. My Gel-Nimbus 22 started breaking down/tearing the mesh on both lateral sides of my pinky toe. The 23s appear like stronger mesh in that area where the toes flex for push off.

Overall I really like them. I am on my feet all day at my job with a lot of walking. They provide the arch and heal support I need to get through a long day. Unfortunately after a week of wearing they developed a popping sound with every step. For that reason I do not wear them any longer. It's embarrassing when working with customers.

I like these sneakers, but they are too narrow in the toes.

Not true to size, I tried out the same GEL-Nimbus 23 in wide at the store and decided to order online due to the color options online. I was very disappointed when the size in store fit yet the ones that arrived were too small and did not appear to be a WIDE at all.
I will be returning this item and sizing up. Other than that I have not complaints, the shoe has good support.

7.5 and it was good. Maybe a bit roomier than the Nimbus Gel 22

I like them more than the nimbus 22 73 / 5000
I have been using nimbus for several years and I find these very nice and comfortable.

I have been wearing Asics Nimbus for over 10 years. Someone thought a size 11 regular might fit me as well as a 10 1/2 wide. They were wrong. The colors for the wides are not the prettiest I.e. black, black and white and navy. That is why I tried the size 11. I returned them and ordered the black and white 10 1/2 wides. They are great and rate them 5 stars

Super cute. The arch support is lacking a little. And for the price, I would expect more cushion. ( nothing compares to a hoka)

Very bouncy and soft, but the sole will get worn out pretty soon, being so soft and gummy. A very comfy running sneaker tho.

The support is second to none. I have been wearing the shoes for 4+ months and have over 500 miles on them and the support is fantastic. I have a high arch and typically need to purchase a separate insole for other brands, not Asics. The only reason I did not give the shoe a 5 is my concern about the outside fabric on the toe box which is ripped in several places on my shoe. This should be addressed in future versions of the shoe.

I liked them including the fit and style. The only reason I a returned is that the colors available in my size weren’t right. I tried the Lichen Rock/champagne and also the White/Pure Silver. If they weren’t so expensive I’d have kept them all. Instead I went for the less padded Gel Cumulus in Piedmont Grey/White. I think I might prefer the more responsive level of padding as well.

I've always loved the Nimbus model, bit it's been quite a few years since my last pair. I picked these up because they're good for supinators, and they're just as comfortable as I always remembered the Nimbus to be. Lots of good arch support, and I can wear them through a long shift of retail with no issues. Had to give these 4 stars out of 5 because I haven't even owned these a month yet, and one tread on each shoe is already peeling off...had to use epoxy to reattach them. Also been having an issue with the tongue on the left shoe pressing sharply into the top of my foot, even though the laces aren't tight. Aside from those problems, I still recommend Nimbus!

I have been wearing this model for about a month. From previous model, I expected to go up a half size, which is still true. Wonderfully supportive, footbed is even more comfortable than last model, but whoever designed the placement of the shoestring eyelets must not have tested untying and loosening them to take the shoes off. The top two eyelets are too close together, which makes the laces overlap, and it's a chore to pick them apart to untie them and loosen the shoes. If they had straight-line eyelets, they'd be perfect.

I wear an 8 regular but these shoes are very tight across the top. Had to really loosen the shoe strings to be able to wear normally. Other that that they are okay.

My daughter loves these shoes, very comfortable and nice looking. One minor drawback is that it is difficult to clean due to the net-like surface once gets dirty. I am very happy with the product overall.

I bought the Gel Nimbus 23 both the medium and then the wide. For comfort and cushioning in the front part of the foot, these are the best ones since the 17's and the 18's. (Note: for me the 18's were perfect.) However, big however, the medium is definitely more narrow than the medium in the 18's. Be aware of that. I had to "force" my feet into the Nimbus 23 medium. That's why I ordered the wide width -- which is just right. Earth to Asics; the human foot gets wider with age, not more narrow;

I usually wear an 8 1/2 but I ordered a nine having read some of the reviews. The shoes are super comfortable but I ended up returning them because they squeaked on a hard surface floors and the outer edge of the shoe is colored green but the Inner edge of the soul is white so when you walk it looks like you are walking unevenly. That’s kind of hard to explain but if you don’t care about that you will love the shoes

Not as comfortable as previous models. Bring back more padding/cushion.
