Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 23

I love Asics GELNimbus and have been wearing them for at least 20 years. Unfortunately I will be returning these as the height of the toe box is significantly smaller than that in my current GELNimbus 23. Not sure if that's a flaw in this pair, or if Asics reduced the height of the internal toe box support. Either way, they have to go back as the toenail of my big toe now hits the upper part of the toe box. Sigh....Will have to go try on a pair at the store.

Would not get this brand of sneakers ever again. It was not comfortable . Tight and no room

Hard to rate these as I couldn't get the proper size. I ordered the 9 and it felt small overall but also seemed to have a narrow toe box, I have a bunion so that is problematic. 9.5 in the color I wanted wasn't available so can't comment if the nine and half would have worked. But I did order another ASICS style in a 9.5 (GT-4000-2) and that one was ridiculously narrow even in that size. Maybe ASICS just aren't for my foot.

tried on only for sizing ordered 7.5 med felt true to size; top of shoe box marked "defective", soles slightly marked, soiled. Don't understand why they were sent out to customer like this, returned.

I’ve been running for over 20 years and can usually wear about any running shoe without difficulty. I began running in Asics Gel Kayano years ago but moved away from them as the newer versions began to change. More recently I have been wearing Hoka Clifton and New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo. Those have been fine but as I was searching for a new pair the reviews of the Nimbus seemed positive so I thought I’d give ASICS another try. The first day I wore them I ran 6 miles. They felt pretty snug even though I ordered a half size up from my normal shoe size. About 3 miles into the run I felt hot spots on the balls of my feet. This has happened before when breaking in new shoes so I wasn’t too concerned about it. The following day I went for a longer run and experienced the same discomfort on the balls of my feet and in addition, I developed water blisters on the backs of my ankles. I have had some running shoes that I like better than others, but I have never had significant enough issues to send a pair of shoes back until now. The style and colors were great, but these just don’t work well with my foot structure. I felt bad returning them after I had worn them, but the customer service representative at Zappos was so helpful and made the return process easy. I will definitely buy from Zappos again, but just not ASICS.

I really liked the look of these and they are true to size for me. Unfortunately, they just did not provide enough cushion for walking. I walk A L OT and need a shoe with lots of cushion. Will keep trying!

The shoes felt great, ready to wear right out of the box. But with every step I took was a high pitched squeak. I kept walking around the house hoping the squeak would stop but it didn't. Loved the shoes but not the noise. Returned.

The shoe is nice looking and fit well once I got it on. The shoe laces are horrible! They are stiff and wide and extremely hard to pull through the round holes. Not worth the effort of putting on and off because of the laces so am returning the shoe.

I love ASics Gel Nimbus. Great shoe but seems to run shorter that it used to. I wish that I had ordered a 1/2 size up.
