The size 10 Gel-nimbus is markedly tighter across the toe box area than previous versions of the shoe. It causes pain after I wear it for a couple hours.

The shoe box was too large. I've worn Asics for 40 years but this one didn't fit.

Bought these for my daughter for cross country. They developed holes by the toes in less than three months. Bummer because they seemed to offer good support and her shin splints were less painful with these. They simply did not hold up. Also go up a half size. My daughter normally wears an 8 but we had to reorder these up a half size.

Many pairs I've owned and this pair for some reason hurts my heal.

These were my 7th pair of ASICS Nimbus and I had to return them! I always wear size 9 and they were too small and also too narrow in the toe box. The 9.5 were far too big. I didn't feel that the cushioning was the same as previous versions and the colors weren't great either. I hope the next version are significantly better than these.

Left a previous review about the stellar comfort. However the quality in this shoe is severely lacking. After less than 250 miles/4 months in the shoes I had holes wear through the top. I'm now passing 350 miles/6 months and the sole is worn through.

These shoes are so short. I normally wear a 9, purchased a 9.5, and my toe jams up against the end of the shoe when I walk. So unfortunate because I'm a nurse and I spent the money on these with the intention of having a good, supportive shoe for my 12 hour shifts. So disappointing because ASICS doesn't accept any returns on merchandise that has been worn at all. Not sure how they get away with that. I had no way of knowing they'd fit and hurt like that without actually trying them out for a shift.

I'm very disappointed in these shoes. I ordered the wides but they are not really very wide so I'm fairly certain there will be a blow out in a few months. On top of that, after 8 hours it seems like the gel cushioning gives out. My feet hurt worse at the end of the day now than they ever did in my cheap shoes. I gave them 2 stars because they look great and feel good when you first put them on but outside of that, very disappointing.

So excited about the colors….but very narrow toe box and just can’t make it work :( so returning and trying 1/2 size bigger because wide wasn’t available. I’ve been wearing gel nimbus for a decade or more. A few times I’ve been unhappy with the change to the next version but overall love the nimbus. Read all about the 23 to see if others found the too box problem - it wasn’t really mentioned anywhere but I’ve been wearing a 10 forever-ever and this 10 in the 23 just rubs my big toes non stop. Hoping adding a half size will help since no wides available! I still love nimbus even though I rated it a 2 overall for now even though I can absolutely feel the increased comfort touches throughout the rest of the shoe so I did rate that a 4 - but we may need a break until version 24!

These shoes are super comfortable. This is the first time I ordered a wide size. Because I did I was also able to size down a half size. I love everything about them with one exception; there is a squeak in the shoe when I walk, from day one Initially, I thought it was the soles squeaking against my hardwood floors but that's not the case. Really not happy about it and I don't like wearing them for that reason only. I don't think I can return them since they have been worn a few times and I threw away the box and tags. A real waste of a good chunk of money!

I had high hopes for this version of the Gel Nimbus, and was quite disappointed as this is nothing like the previous generations 13 - 18. I bought two pairs of these shoes, hoping that the reviews are accurate. If you've never worn the earlier generations, you may not be able to know how great these are not.

I have been wearing Asics Gel Nimbus sneakers for about five years now - same style, same size every 6-8 months. I primarily use them for walking and like the wide toe box that accommodates my orthotics. For some reason, these Asics are a completely different fit. They put pressure on the top of my foot and the cushioning is almost too much. I can't wait to take them off after I use them. Not to mention, the laces are very slippery/plastic-y, not like cotton laces that stay tied. I guess I thought they would get better with time, but they haven't. Now it's time to replace them and I'm concerned Asics may no longer fit the bill. Oh well, guess I'll try and return them - even if worn - thank you in advance, Zappos.

I've been a loyal Asics runner for 20+ years but this pair, for the first time, gave me blisters on my toes and ankle and feel very tight in the toe box. Not sure why but have to return.

I work in a hospital and am on my feet all day. I've worn these shoes for 5 months and they are so comfortable; however, about 2 months ago the top layer of fabric near the toe box starting falling apart. The top layer has tears on each of my shoes where my toes bend during walking. These tears just keep getting worse and I'm so disappointed because these are one of the most comfortable shoes I've had in a long time. Not sure if my pair is defective or if this is a common problem with this brand?

This shoe is comfortable in such that it is cushy and cradles the heel. The deal breaker is that it is significantly narrower than its predecessor, the 22. I always order a wide and this one just isn't wide enough. I had to send them back, I was extremely disappointed because I waited a long time and they were cute and otherwise a great shoe.

These shoes run small. I normally take a 6 and it was small. The 6.5 fit right but the wasn't comfortable. Had to return.

Show felt very comfortable, but was a 1/2 size too small. I would recommend sizing up a 1/2 size

They're very comfortable. However they do run small. They hurt my toes after wearing for over an hour. I recommend you go up or a full size up, from your regular running shoe size.
