I've worn ASICS for years , kinda disappointed with these. They really aren't that comfortable.

I've worn Asics Gel Nimbus sneakers for many years, always in size 7.5. This includes another pair of Gel Nimbus 22 AND a pair of Gel Nimbus 22 Lite Show, both purchased in the last year. I don't know why but the pair I just received does not fit me. It is too short. Maybe it's produced in a different factory? If they fit like usual I'd have rated them much higher.

Too much cushion in the heel, makes the foot feel off balance. Feet hurt at end of a 12 hr work day. Had to quit wearing.

I've loved these shoes in the past. This new pair feels like they provide quality cushioning and support, but they seem to put pressure on my inner foot / arch and cause discomfort after a couple miles (I think my arch is average- not high or flat). Will keep my eyes open for another alternative moving forward.

I purposely bought these because the description said they are good for plantar fasciitis. I do not find that to be true.

Pinky toe poked through in less than 6 months of wearing. I even ordered the wide thinking that maybe they wont poke through at all. I underpronate and this happens on the reg but usually after about a year of wearing. Also heel starts to hurt after a few miles. Disappointed. Otherwise the shoe is comfortable and good arch support.

I was disappointed with the all over comfort, it was stiff and didn't have the comfort that that I used to have with this brand. The Toe box was was too tight for my foot. Didn't work from me.

Very comfortable. However, I have walked less than 200 miles in them and the rubber has completely worn down to the foam. Not a long-lasting road shoe.

I’ve worn ASICS before and loved them, but these are stiff, and hurt my feet after a long walk. I’ve worn them every third day for 6 weeks but lo luck breaking them in.

I really like the style of the shoe. I bought this shoe after having trouble with plantar fasciitis and reading it was one of the best cushioned shoes for relief. I first ordered my normal shoe size to find it was too small so I ordered the next half size up. They were still a little tight, but after a week of breaking them in they felt better. I would like it if there were an option to get the shoes in a wide version just because my end toe still rubs on the inside and it often hurts by the end of the day. After now wearing the shoes for a couple of weeks it has not relieved any plantar fasciitis pain. For the price, I am a little disappointed.

Feel “flat”. Too wide.

The shoe overall is made well with the exception of the left shoe. It makes me feel like I am supinating and gives me a backache. Love the colors and arch support, but shoe is a bit stiff.

The back of the shoe caves in, or at least seems to slouch when you put the shoe on. And I'm not on to slip my shoes on and off without tying them so it's not that. Started happening the second time I wore them. I'm an ASICS die hard and have owned at least 5 pairs of gel nimbus specifically, but have never had this issue. Maybe it's just a bad lot.

ASICS have always been true to size for me. These are way small. I always wear a 9 1/2. My friend wears 8-8 1/2 and they fit her and she will buy them from me. Also, very stiff. Not like others. Very disappointed.

Okay, but not as comfortable as earlier GEL-Nimbus. When I purchased my first pair I was amazed - I didn't know shoes could be so comfortable. I was disappointed with the new style - no where near as comfortable.

Bought to replace Nimbus 19s and the fit is entirely different. Foot felt narrower, shoe feels much longer.

Great cushioning but.... I tend to under pronate when I walk but seem to be more neutral when I run. These push my heels out a little which is definitely not what I need. I'm going to give them another couple of weeks and see how I get on. My GT 2000 7 where much lighter and were better all round. They do look lovely though :)

The toe box is very wide. Seems to me ASICS should be making a regular and a wide shoe option. When I tie my shoes, they buckle up at the top of the laces. I have been a nimbus lover for years but I'm probably going to be trying something else.

Cute shoe but runs narrow and doesn't have as much gel cushioning as my old nimbus

I've ordered these sneakers many times. Although I love the sneaker, the shoe laces have changed and appear to be cheap. I have to retie them constantly. This has never happened before. They look like the type of shoelace that is found in a baby shoe. I won't be ordering this shoe again. So disappointing!

Shoe breaks down too quickly. The outer sole wears out way too early and the support and cushioning break down with limited miles.

I have owned ASICS for years. Every pair always seem to rip out in the heel after wearing for several months. No I do not leave my shoes tied and slip my feet into them. I was pleased so far with this purchase until I again put my foot in the shoe and the cushion on the heel "pushed down" so now it feels like a bunched up sock behind my Achilles. Only one shoe is doing it and I haven't owned these shoes very long. That is the only disappointment currently.
