I returned them, I went with "On" shoes. The shoes felt great but my wife said they were ugly and I look like "an IT professional ". Which I am, but don't want to look like it.

I don't care for the knit upper....gives me a loose sloppy feel. It's definitely a cushy nimbus and I'll keep running in them but shorter distance. But truth I did a HM and used my older Powerstep insoles and they ran ok. Next pair will be the Saiun...modeled after the last gen Ninbus.

Fits tighter than the previous 3 generations. The tongue area, even though seemingly thin and non-existent, is cutting into my ankles. Generally very unlike previous generations and will be my last Nimbus I guess. Disappointed.

I had gel nimbus 15, and this ( gel numbus 24) is the first upgrade, the midsole is very soft and plush, you have a spongy feeling, but they are not very stable, as long as you are neutral runner. You keep this in mind it should be good. My biggest complaint is space in the forefoot area, I wish I could have more room, I almost returned the shoes, but at shop I was told they should open after few runs, it did a little but still I felt they could have left some more space. If you are really feel tight, try to go with wider model, the one tried at shop was a little bit too roomy but I guess they were used multiple time. The wider options don't come with many colors. Thanks

The stuffing around the opening of this shoe was super thick. I ordered two identical styles in 2 different colors, but by comparison, this one was overstuffed. I'm keeping the other pair but cannot tolerate this one, as it is suffocating and constricting.

Tried the shoe on in a store and had a good fit. Ordered the shoe later and it did not fit well. My guess is a manufacturing issue.

Took these out for a test and they were stiff and unforgiving. Not right for me at all.

New material is too stretchy and thus is not supportive. This makes the shoes feel like it is too tight and small/narrow/tight on middle of foot.

I have flat feet. the arch in the nimbus 22 for the 2E size is wider than what you installed in the nimbus 24. I should have went with the 4E. Just cannot ever order ASICS on-line anymore, due to the differences in width for the arch area between the two models. Gotto try shoes on unless companies keep the same specs.

The 2(E) is not wide at all. It's more like a D. If you have really wide feet, this is not the shoe for you. Disappointed these don't come in 4(E).

The tongue is goofy, and it makes my socks slide down. I’d also need to order a size up to make these comfortable. Sending back.

I love my gel nimbus 22 but these 24 are way too narrow. My feet went numb within the first quarter mile of running.

I have brought Asics sneakers before and I liked them because they had adequate cushion and still where them to this day. However, these Asics Gel Nimbus 24 are too narrow. I normally wear a size 11 in these sneakers but this felt tight on the sides. Unfortunately, I am sending them back. The style is fine just not a comfortable fit for me.

They are a good running shoe. But I bought them for work and they make my feet real sweaty. Wish they were more breathable.

These shoes are lacking a plastic piece on the sole that the Nimbus 23 had, as well as other Nimbus models before them. Don't like the stretchy tongue on the shoe either.

I was really disappointed by the newer edition of the Gel-Nimbus.I have had 2 previous models of this same shoe (most recently the 22) and it was my favorite shoe I have ever worn. However with the 24, it fits more like a track shoe.The shoe is very narrow, my feet immediately started to hurt from the pressure on the sides on shoe pressing against the sides of my feet and not very spacious at all. Had to return them immediately. If you have flat feet/wider feet steer clear of this one. I am hoping they listen to the reviews and fix this issue on the 25 edition .

I've been wearing ASICS exclusively for 12 years now. Every other review I would give five stars. They have really helped with my back issues. But this pair seems exceptionally light and will not stop squeaking every step I take, even though I've been wearing this pair for weeks now

Very good shoes to combat over supination of the foot. Great cushion and the tongue is awesome. So great to where you almost don't need laces. Biggest downfall on these shoes is that they're super thin. Foot width wise. They're for super narrow footed thin people. Then again I'm a big dude. If i tighten the laces, I get foot pains everywhere. So only tighten laces very lightly

I have wide feet and bought the 2e hoping they would be wide enough. They were not. I had to return. Will wait for the 4e over going to another brand because they're such a great shoe. Hope the 4e is released soon.

the outside part of the sole is to shallow. not sure how its gonna fit off-road running.
in addition, there is lack of support for the toes so its kind of sliding forward .. might cause nails issues
I have been running with Nimbus for the past 10 years and this time i fell disappointed

Felt tight. I had to return because there was a little bit of bump or spring in the heel area. A lot of people like that (or at least don't mind it), but it hurts for me. Looking for a flatter shoe.

Ive been running in The Nimbus 20 and then 22's. Loved them both, couldn't wait until the 24's arrived. My feet are not big, nor wide but I could barely get my foot in the shoe. Got on the treadmill, but I could only go 1.5 miles before I had to switch back to the old 22's. Sent them back, ordered the 24 Wide. They are tight too. At first the outside edges of my feet felt like they were falling off the shoe. Then the arch of the shoe is painfully pushing up into my arch. Ive got about 60 miles on them now and they are improving somewhat. At least Im not focused on my feet the entire run now. Ill keep them, but the design change did me no favors.

I have used Gel Nimbus exclusively for running - great ride, hoping quality of the 24s are better than 23s, I just went thru 2 pair of 23s, in 6 mnths, uppers VERY low quality, zero direct contact yet holes EVERYWHERE. only ran once, but wore to offices 3x per week. - fingers crossed on the 24s are better. Weird also zero tongue padding in the 24s
