The new women’s cream/putty model of the nimbus 23 is gorgeous. Been a nimbus fan since the 20 model, and though this feels a little snug at first that’s just the feel of all the new-style padding.
Just ordered a second pair - same color combo and size - to wear when this pair wears out.
LOVE.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks Glycerin - highly cushioned, just like the nimbus.

Lots of stability and able to run without my orthotics due to the amazing insole.

Pros: the cream/putty color is very pretty. There are some other Asics shoes with the same color name, but if you watch the video about the shoes, you can see the color is more taupe. Very comfortable cushioning around the heel and arch. I usually have to use my own inserts, as I have a high arch, but these needed no adjustment. The only reason I returned these shoes was the width. There was not an option for a wide width, and I loosened the laces as much as I could to still be able to tie the shoes, but they just were a little too snug. For the price, I didn't want to be adjusting the shoes to make them more comfortable. I was sorry to send them back.

This is hand's down the most comfortable sneaker/ running shoe I've even worn. I am a big fan of Brooks Ghosts and really like a nice cushy supportive shoe. The latest model of Ghost wasn't as great as in the past. I ordered these mainly because of the cute neutral look and the eco friendly factor. Once I put them on though I was in love. I would recommend getting a half size up if you plan to wear a sock and like to be able to wiggle your toes. I always size up in running shoes and these are no exception.

I am returning this shoe because it makes my feet supinate more. I bought the Gel-Nimbus 23 because the manufacturers website rated these shoes for neutral and underpronation walkers but not for me. The shoes are attractive and nicely cushioned but does not work to adjust for supination.

I love this cream/putty color. Looks great on; very stylish. Great shoes for walking or running, with just the right amount of cushioning for comfort. Fits true to size and not to wide in the toe box.

Shoe is for pronators no I never saw that in description, thus sending back. I have chronic foot issues and am a supination. I could feel my feet, especially most problematic one, roll out. The shoe is extremely comfortable, well padded, and pronators will love it!

I have Achilles tendinitis - and tries tons of stability shoes to help. Finally I went to a local running store and found Gel-Nimbus 23. They have solved my shoe issues and immensely help my tendinitis. I have 3 pairs - I don't ever want to be without them!!

Love these shoes , I wear a AFO foot brace and provide superior comfort and support. There are roomy enough for me to easily put my AFO in and still be super comfy .

The shoes are perfect in every way. Great arch support, great cushioning, and just the right width and amount of space in the toe box. I especially appreciate how it grips the heel to help avoid blisters.
I’ve been a distance runner for over 40 years, and the shoes I keep coming back to are ASICS, Brooks, and Hoka. They are all great shoes.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable, but the width runs narrow. I usually wear a medium width, but I am getting the wide width in my next pair I get.

Very good support for extensive walking. Can’t review the running. But these shoes support my right ankle which has always been a problem for me.

I wear these for work. 12 hr shifts on hard floors so I can’t report on how they perform as a running shoe but as a work shoe they are excellent for being on your feet all day. Good support and cushion . Fits true to size , lots of toe room but narrow enough at heel that I don’t have rubbing .

Incredible shoes. I have narrow heels but wide toe box. I’m struggling to return to my normal gait after multiple hip surgeries. These shoes provide the best support and cushioned insoles that I’ve ever tried! Women’s size 12 and they fit true to size!

These are the BEST for cushioning and I’ve ordered them in many colors, including two pairs of one I particularly like so I have a second pair when the first one wears out.
The Cumulus 18s came out the year I developed a foot issue and I bought so many of those that I’m still wearing them and they are terrific too.
Go Asics!
