I like Nimbus 23 better than the Nimbus 22 because it does not slip in the heal and seems have more support under the ball of the foot. The Nimbus 22 made me sink into my heels more.

So very comfortable, but the bright white sole is very distracting. Needs more blue into the sole.

I've been wearing Asics's Nimbus for years. I run or walk about 20 miles a week, and have not been injured in years - due, I think to these awesome sneakers. They fit perfectly - narrow heel keeps me in the shoe, roomy toe box gives my toes wiggle room. I use my own orthotic rather than the provided insert. The one issue I have with this year's order is the color. On Zappos, the color looked like a "creamsicle" - a soft coral mixed with white. But in reality these sneakers are bright - and I mean bright - orange. Not sure I'd have gone for the bright orange, but you can't go wrong with the overall shoe.

They constantly squeak after about an hour of wear.

Needed to size up, felt comfortable but when tested on a run left my toenails sore. Exceptional return policy, had a new pair in a day!

All I wear are ASICS. All I buy are ASICS. These are comfy, true to size. Great color. I wish there were a little more cushion at the ball of the foot. It feels lacking compared to the heel. My favorite by far are the GT-1000 9; lightweight but super comfy for all day wear, run, or HIIT type workouts.

This is not for wide feet nor for those with high arches. The sole is so comfortable so I'm keeping them to walk with but for me, I need the room that the Brooks offers. Otherwise, a great comfortable choice.

Look like nice shoes with great soles, but too small even though I sized up a half size. Too small length wise and width wise. Hurt my feet in weird places. Might work for somebody with narrower feet.

Love the shoes,hate the flat laces.they are very difficult to untie to take them off. I have worn the gel nimbus for quite a few years, missed the 22s, but had 3 pairs of the 21s which had round laces. Maybe my fingers aren't so strong as they used to be as I am 72 years old, but these are a battle every time I take them off. Please bring back the round laces.

I should have believed the reviews... just a little too small. My big toes bumped right up to the front, Not comfortable at all! Am returning for the next size up.

I originally ordered size 7.5 (my usual) for Ascics, but they were too small and needed to be exchanged. Size 8 was perfect. I have had other models of the Ascics Nimbus that seemed to be even more comfortable, but these are working well for me.

Comfy as all get out but there is a very large gap in the top of the shoe which allows a lot more movement within the shoe than I typically prefer. (The shoes are the correct size). Still not quite like the nimbus 15s (all time fave) but overall a great experience. I bought 2.

Still a fan of the older models, but this one is ok. I'm usually a true 6 in these bad boys but my toes keep rubbing against the front. I'm a plantar fasciitis runner and there's not as much arch support as I remember the old models having, thick bottoms, bit stiff but after a run or two they're broken in and good to go. I'm satisfied with this shoe but for me personally, it may be worth checking out a half size up or another shoe. I'll probably keep these as a back up shoe.

So comfortable! I always wear ASICS nimbus but tried the kayano, not too impressed with the cushion in them. These nimbus fill amazing. They do seem a bit longer fitting than previous models and a bit more narrow, but other than that I love them. So glad to be back in the nimbus!

LOVE the gel-nimbus! I'm on my 4th pair, and I use them for work as a nurse, I literally feel like I'm walking on clouds. My first pair was a gift, and I've replaced as they've worn out since. HOWEVER, these new knit/mesh uppers leave something to be desired. I had to warranty my rose gold ones due to holes wearing in the big toe and pinky toe areas on both shoes. We shall see how the black ones do......

Still deciding but this is the best shoe i've tried in a while. I have a lot of foot problems - biggest one is tailors bunions but these seem a bit wider without having to order a wide. I hope to be able to keep them and also try the Lyte 2 when it comes out. Hoping for more colors soon.

Feels like the Nimbus from a few years ago! There were a couple of models that were too narrow, too stiff, etc, but finally this feels like the shoe I loved from years ago! Great cushion.

LOVE the colors & the cushion!!!! Right foot is a little tight up on the side by my pinky toe. Might just need a few more weeks or runs to break them in! Overall good support!

I like the shoe, but it isn't quite right for my foot. It has great cushion, and fits well, the way the shoe fits me just makes me prone to twisting my ankle.

Good cushioning but toe box Is too narrow. I have a pair of black Gel Nimbus-23"s that has a nice toe box. I ordered this pair online thinking they'd be exactly the same, but they aren't. I won't be ordering like this online again unless it is the exact same pair of shoes

I love the gel nimbus . I buy the same exact sneakers every four months, but the bottoms tend to wear very quick! This last pair needed some glue for some of the rubber that was coming up. I'll still continue buying, as I am most comfortable with them, but I would expect the bottoms to last longer for the price of the sneaker.

The main problem i have with this shoe is the laces are too short. They come undone when running if they are not double-knotted. Same issue with all ASICS shoes ive worn. There is not enough length to do this so i often have to cinch my laces too tight to get enough lace. I will try to find a longer lace. The shoe is fine otherwise.

I bought a wide so I would have more toe room. In this style the toe box is still a little narrow. My feet are not really wide so I am surprised. They are very comfortable otherwise.
