Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 22

Just ehhhhhh. Not a great style overall, not great support in the arch area. This style is running about half a size larger than the old Asics models. But most Americans are buying larger shoes these days, so that makes sense. I tried these on for about 10 minutes, and my feet could not get any "purchase" and I felt like I had no arch support whatsoever. I did end up purchasing the Asics Gel Kayano 27 in a size 6, half a size smaller. Now the Kayanos provide great arch support and are super comfortable. But I did go down a half size. Note this if you have narrower feet. I have super high arches and my feet LOVE the new Kayanos. If you have flatter feet / wider feet, the Gel Nimbus might be your cup of tea.

I liked these asics. The style & color were great & seemed like great quality. But they were a little too short so I had to return

I really wanted to like this shoe that was recommended among others on a list from my physical therapist. I'm usually a 9.5 in my sneakers but I realize my feet are changing with age and weight. The 9.5 wasn't long enough for the toes, really, and my left pinky toe was going to rub, I could tell. I exchanged for the 10, and although that improved the toe box, suddenly my big toe on the right foot was running up against the front. I could also tell that the ankle interior was a bit hard on the inside and outside of the ankle and were going to end up rubbing (based on years of experience). I considered going another half size up, but I'm wearing my daughter's Nikes in a size 10 right now and they're fine. I'm experiencing plantar fasciitis in my left foot, which is the same foot where I broke three bones 20 years ago, but I'm not sure I want to keep going through the exchange process (like, up to a 10.5) in this shoe. Especially since they're making me call in order to exchange or return this time around, which is not convenient hours for me.

Didn't like. This shoe is like putting your foot in a tube.

I had to return these, they were the first pair of Asics i have had to return due to "Not True To Size" issue. I loved the shoe and would have sized up from 6.5M to 7M but it was "out of stock"/ Thank you Zappos for your customer service excellence. I have now read many reviews about same issue. So bottom line is: SIZE UP FOLKS! or choose another model.....

The shoe is super light weight and loved the style however the fit was way too tight and left foot felt too short (mind you my left foot is the lighter larger one). I have been using Asics consistently for like 10 yrs 3 pairs within that time frame with my size being 6.5 but this Gel-Nimbus 22 was super tight and short fitting. I will order a half size up and see how it works out. Zappos was amazing at customer service as always. Thanks again Zappos bcs being that shopping online can sometimes be fickle.

My sister raved about her Gel-Nimbus sneakers, so much that I ordered a pair for myself. Zappos recommended size 8.5, and despite the fact I normally wear an 8 in running shoes, I ordered the larger size. The cushioning is amazing, and it wasn't until I wore the shoes on walks a few times that I realized they are much too wide, high, and long for my narrow-heeled, low-volume foot. I wear thick socks and have two insoles (theirs and mine) in them and still have to cinch up the laces toward front and rear to keep my foot from sliding forward and slipping out of the heel on hills. It is a real effort getting my feet ready to go out, but once I am properly suited up, so to speak, the walk is comfortable and I don't remove my shoes until the end of the day. I have mixed feelings; am getting ready to try an 8 to see whether that will let my foot stay inside--then I can retire these for street wear.

For a wide width, this had a very small toe box. My small toe and knuckle protruded from the box as soon as I put them on. Disappointed since this came up as a good shoe for underpronation / supination. I had to return them. I might try Brooks Dyad 11 or Saucony Integrity Walker 3

Tow box on the 22 is much narrower

This shoe was too cushioned, heavy, and bulky for me. I have a small frame, and the Nimbus is just too much shoe. I found the padding around the ankle so excessive that it was uncomfortable, and while the shoe fit, it felt and looked bulky and big all around. That said, it does have excellent cushioning and good arch support. It might work for others with a different body type or different needs. I wanted something for everyday wear and this was just too much shoe.
