Very nice looking sneaker. I get lots of compliments. It did take A little longer to break in than most Asics I have had.

I walk 2 miles every day and these were really great for about 3 months. I'd hoped they'd last longer. Not 5 stars for that reason.

My only complaint is that my heel lights don't fit. I use them for evening runs. Back heel wider on this brand of ASICS. I only run in ASICS sneakers.

I have worn the Numbus for years...19, 20, 21, 22, 23.
I purchased the newer 23. Improved cushioning but after 10-15 minutes my left heel hurts.
Tried to "break" them in, my right hip started to ache. Tried different insoles, nope, not the insoles but the design of the shoe. So now I have new 23's and can't wear them. Maybe for gardening?
I am stocking up on the 22 so I'll have shoes to wear, too bad, the cushioning in the 23 is superior but not sure what's up with the new design. Maybe for higher arches? So yeah, back to the 22, which I can easily wear in the summer, but they have a lot of ventilation, so not so much for the winter time.

Comfortable and light. Feels a better running position to help with my plantar fasciitis. Expensive but will hopefully be worth it!

These are good, supportive, and comfy shoes. They are sized smaller/narrower, but the fit finder recommended the right size for me. I use them for walking, not running. I modified the lacing to accommodate my high instep. These didn't have enough forefoot cushions for me, so I put a thin gel forefoot cushion under the existing insole, and now I'm happy with their feel.

Firm feeling shoe that's good for all around walking. I got these as a replacement for another style that had a toe blow out after less than 6 months. I'm hopeful that these will wear better. Nice navy color

Initially I was disappointed because the shoe laces were 8" shorter than my previously purchased Asics. I couldn't tie my shoe high enough to be able to run in them. After some back and forth, Asics is going to replace the shoe laces.

Very good cushioning and the toe box is a little wider than usual so I am able to wear them. Asics is my favorite go to but they keep making them narrower. This version is a bit wider.

The toe is more rounded than I like and the arch is not as high as previous models and the top of the heel does not have the scooped out part that for your acheilles tendon which makes your socks slip. I only wear nimbus and have for years. This version will slightly disappoint.

This is an upgrade to the former model (my staple)... I buy high arch orthotics for extra support and go up a half size to accommodate. Love the cushion, roomy toe box and sole grip which works on muddy trail runs w/o the extra weight!

I really love my trainers!
Very comfortable . I've got wide feet and half a size up means they fit perfectly.

Great shoe but I wish it was reinforced around the toe like the 21's. I'm glad they have an all black option. It's comfortable and sleek.

The shoe feels very comfortable, however the shoe runs 11/2 size smaller than my regular shoe size.

I have been wearing these shoes for about 8 months now. For my job I stand all day and was looking for a shoe with supportive and comfortable cushioning that could withstand standing all day in my feet. When I first wore these I LOVED the cushioning. It was the best I've had so far. I could stand long hours without the pain I used to feel; however, I will say the cushioning did not last that long for me. I think I stopped feeling the benefits around 6 months or so and ended up using different inserts in my shoes. I wish they could just sell the inserts for these shoes separately because the rest of my shoe is intact still, but if you're looking for comfortable shoes for a job you have to stand for all day and have enough money to buy new shoes every 6-8 months, then maybe you can give these shoes a shot. Also, I had to go up on size. When I first bought a pair of Asics shoes they were too narrow and small in general (I'm usually a size 7 to 8), hence why I went for the wide width this time, but I bought an 8.5 in these and they fit! They're a tiny bit roomy but I don't mind it after standing in them for so long. I'd rather them be that and have the option to tighten the laces then too constricting on my feet.

Not as comfortable as my other ASICS shoes after a 12 hour shift . I also bought the gt-1000 9 which feels way more comfortable.

For some reason they fit different than the 21s, which were awesome and back to the old foot of the nimbus 18s. I hope they go back to how they made the 21s, still better than the 20s.
