I like these sneakers. The color is awesome. Im obsessed with how they look- so bright and pink. I get compliments on them all the time. My only complaint is the heel. The padded part behind your ankle- it kinda isn't sturdy at all. I feel like the cushion got smooshed down. Thats the best way to describe it. And I always untie them to put them on so its not like im stomping my heel into them until I get them on. Otherwise they're comfortable. I run a couple miles in them a day. Nothing strenuous. They hold up well to jogs. I have hiked in them too & they were alright. Not ideal but good. I do like them alot but im not sure id buy them again when this pair is worn out.

Love the look but my 21s are much more comfortable. Little bummed.

I bought these shoes about 7 months ago. I am a nurse and only wear the shoes at work. For comfort, the shoes have been amazing. However, I am disappointed in their condition. Both of my shoes have rips by where my toes rest. Although my shifts are long, I do not wear the shoes enough for already having rips in them after 7 months of owning them. The comfort is unbeatable, but for the price, the quality is not good.

I was disappointed with the gel nimbus 22. The cushioning is great but I found the heel much larger than previous versions, so it struck the ground first when I put my foot down, which altered the stride. I actually returned these as they didn't feel right for my feet. I'm hoping the gel nimbus 23 will be equally cushioned but without quite such a large clumpy heel..

This is the second pair of the Nimbus 22 I have worn. First pair awesome. Second pair not so much. The worst heel blisters I have had in a long time after my first five mile walk. Unfortunately, I can’t exchange them since they’ve been worn. I would have taken pictures of my heels, but no one wants to see them. I am hoping the shoes will be fine after I am healed up. (no pun intended)

I really wanted to keep these shoes. They look GREAT for running shoes, and probably won't find another I like this much. But this was a size 9.5 (regular shoe size is 8.5) and was very tight in the opening and could already tell there would be chaffing on my small toe if worn for any short run. I don't think it makes sense to order a size 10. Size 10 may be what I need in this shoe, but too weird and confusing to even bother such exchange. Asics, please figure out your size problem! I know I've seen this comment in other reviews (should have listened).

I'm giving this a 3 because It looks like a good shoe, just that it is far too narrow for me. That said, it was easy to return and I was refunded immediately. I just think it wasn't the show for me. I must need a wide fitting.

Disappointed - the Gel-Nimbus 21s and most of the prior generations fit me well. The Gel-22 is strangely wide in the arch area - sneaker is not at all tailored to shape of foot. Therefore foot has too much lateral motion in shoe. Am returning...

Always loved the Nimbus and while the colors are great, this pair just does not have the cushioning I'm used to from the previous models.

Very smart looking shoe however I usually wear a size 6 and the 7 was too small so had to return. I have slim feet but these were too narrow..

The color of the shoes in the picture is not an accurate representation of the true color. They are grey not light purple. In addition, I have worn the Asics Gel Nimbus (earlier models) for years. This year, the 22 feels much narrower than previous models 21 and 20.

I love my GEL-Numbus 22. It's the only shoe I can run comfortably without flaring foot and heal pain. I love them so much I've had 3 pairs in 1.5 years. And that's the problem. The perfect shoe wears out quickly. Holes in the uppers appear within months. I don't run marathons or on trails. I just jog around the neighborhood so it's not me, it's the shoe. I don't want to breakup but the relationship is on it's last legs. Sometimes you gotta love something so much you set it free. Bye GEL-Numbus 22. It was good while it lasted.

The toe is already starting to peel. Also I had no idea there would be Tokyo all over the design.

Inside the back of this shoe sometimes rolls and rubs the back of my foot. The first time I wore them I got a terrible blister. I have to make sure the inside of the shoe is smooth when I put them on. For what these shoes cost, this shouldn't be necessary. I have had several other pairs of ASICS and this hasn't been a problem before.

This is my first pair of ASICS. I read the reviews and I read the website that said not to size up. So I didn't. But I should have. Very tight across my toes and becomes too tight for running after 20 minutes. I live in Texas. Also... the shoes have a lot of "cush" in the heels and it's very noticeable that the heels are higher than the toe. Almost makes me feel like I'm walking on my tippy toes.

Very comfy, however, as soon as I slipped it on my foot, the heel kind of puckered/clumped up. Now it rubs on my heel if I don't put the shoe on very carefully. Other than that, AMAZING shoe if you're going to be running a lot or on your feet all the time.
