Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 23

I have been wearing Asics for 20 years and recently bought these (the store did not have the 24's yet). These are the worst fitting Asics I have ever owned. It usually takes about 20-30 miles to break them in, but this time I am at nearly 100 and they still feel terrible. My toes are pinched and the cushion is already gone. Not worth the money and now I need to find new shoes. And with the increase in prices I am looking at other brands.

I wear these 3 days a week as an ER Nurse. Strictly at work and inside. I have had them two weeks and the treads are separating from the sole. Not made for wear and tear and I am already looking for a different pair.

I supinate when I walk (walk on the outside of my foot) and look for shoes to correct that as much as possible. This is the first pair of shoes that I felt actually facilitated my foot rocking to the outside. Horrible cramps up the sides of my legs whenever I try wearing them. I'm now trying to heal those muscles. Poor design for sure.

It's very comfortable when I first tried it, great cushion, thought it was a good buy. I bought it in January 2022, finally able to wear it today (May), in warm weather. First day wore it for less than 2 hours. Ball of my feet hurt so much that I wanted to go bare feet. My first pair was from the GT-1000 series which was recommended by my Podiatrist, it's an amazing product, so comfortable that my feet still felt great after a whole day walking round NYC. Thought the cushion of this Gel-Nimbus 23 would be another nice product, but ended up that I'm so regret. It's double the price of the GT-1000 pair I got, but such a disappointment. I can understand prices are usually higher for newer series, but at the same time, I would think the product would be advancing. It's clearly not in this case. Not recommended at all.

My feet go numb. I have tried changing the directions of the laces. I have tried not lacing through the final 2 holes. I have tried running from 3 miles to 10 miles in them and they hurt every time. I have been running in the gel nimbus style for 5 years straight. This is the 1st shoe I've experienced this with.

I've worn asics for years. This is the first shoe in the Nimbus family that has ever hurt my feet. Had it on for less than a minute and my arches were starting to hurt and my plantar fasciitis was starting. Guess I have to switch to another company, which sucks because I've loved the Nimbus, until now. Go back to the 12s, 17s or 18s.

I returned the gel-nimbus 23's. They were no where near the quality, supportiveness, or fit of the gel nimbus 21's which I loved. I purchased the gel-nimbus 22's which still are not as good as the 21's, but much better than the gel-nimbus 23's or 24's. The gel-nimbus 24s are the worst. When its time to purchase sneakers again, if Asics cannot get their quality, supportiveness and fit back, I will be purchasing from another manufacturer which I have not done in over 15 years.

Wide size extremely narrow, and heel only goes part way up the heel.

Every year I try the nimbus. The last pair that made it through a marathon was the 15. It was wide, and I hate these new materials, my foot always goes out the side and my toes go through the top. Sorry, I quit :(

Horrible, started squeaking 1st time I wore them to work.

These shoes run terribly small! I can't believe how uncomfortable the fit is. I've worn ASICS running shoes for at minimum 10-15 years and 9.5 has been my go to size. My toes bump into the end of the shoe just walking around the house can't imagine how uncomfortable they be running. I'll need to talk to customer service about returning these.

The sneaker itself is one of the most comfortable I've had in a long time but this pair came with black laces not royal blue so they make the shoe look entirely different. Called customer service and they couldn't send correct laces .They said I would have to return and reorder not guaranteeing that I would get item as shown.
