Fine when putting on but killing my feet when running. This was recommended by the running store and ASICS, and version 16 were my favorite shoe. Not sure why this doesn't work but could be personal to me.

I've been buying the Gel Nimbus for at least 5 years and this is by far the worst style. The 22 doesn't have nearly the same support as previous styles. I'm very disappointed in this style. They have become my yard/work shoes and now I have to spend money on a new pair. Might have to look at another brand.

The footbed is cushioned very well, however the arch support on the GEL-Nimbus 22 (D) is poor. The outside of the shoe is designed to look like it has support with a plastic bar, but the inside is the complete opposite. The insole is constructed out of thin black foam The Cumulus 21 (D) uses thicker blue foam for the insole and the

I first purchased this shoe in regular width, but it was too narrow for my wide feet. I returned the first pair and bought a second pair in wide width, but it is not any wider. Not a good shoe at all for those of us with wide feet.

They fit but the cushion is too much for my flat feet . They make my heel hurt when I take them off. The sneakers have potential but I like how the cushion in the kayano 26-27 feels better for my flat feet.

I really love ASICS. They are my favorite shoe and usually very sturdy. These are very comfortable and I'm glad they come in wide sizes. But after only a few months after purchase not only does one shoe have a giant hole in it on the top and to the side but the other shoe is starting to get a hole in the same spot. I never had this issue with my kayano set I had for 5 years. I'm very confused as the low quality of this one.

Meh - I won't buy this one again. There is a decent ball of foot and heel support, but zero arch support. The shoe structure is also very thick and clunky, so it's pretty difficult to feel the need to run and be light-footed. It may work with some inserts, but I'm just not impressed at all. I will be going with the cumulus and/or the Kayano.

Always have brought ASICS and no previous problems, however I have now found the quality disappointing. These came up narrower than previous styles, although I did go up half a size bigger. I'm using them to train for a marathon and they have already split in the toe area after 6 months. The cushioning has gone and long miles now given me problems with my feet and recovery time for legs are longer. They are also not the lightest trainer for putting in the miles and start to feel heavy on the feet. A lot of money I now feel is wasted.

Run large compared to other ASICS, large toe box. Not a great running shoe.

I bought my GEL-Nimbus 22 shoes in November 2020 and began wearing them in December 2020. I love the fit and comfort. In April of 2021, the top material across the toes began splitting in many places. This is my fourth pair of GEL-Nimbus shoes but this is the first time I have encountered the material splitting. Hope this can be addressed soon.

Not impressed about the change in the shoe. Love the nimbus 21. The 22 does not have the arch support or the wide heel. I have worn the 21 for four years. Got to find a new shoe.

The cushion was not as expected and the inside of the shoes rubbed the outer toes on both feet. Would have returned if my daughter hadn't used the box as a bird house. Lol.

This shoe is made differently from a year ago. It no longer has air cushioning and arch support. The gym shoe offers no support any more. Very disappointed when I put my new shoes on there were less support than my same shoes from a year ago

Love the color and fit. feels great on my feet. However they are difficult to get on and the back squishes down in the back unless you hold it up and in place while you are putting on your shoe which is very annoying and time consuming when putting on your shoes. most importantly I ordered these in October , I wear them 45 mins 5 times a week for my workout. these shoes have never even been worn out side and the mesh is breaking and there is a hole in the side of the shoe already. I feel at this price the quality should be better.
I'd also recommend:

These just don't feel right. Not sure if they are too big or if the last was changed. This is my second pair of nimbus and they are not the same as the first pair. I have worn asics for years, I used to buy cumulus and they always fit great but I switched to nimbus with my last pair and I loved them. But these nimbus are just not right. They don't feel as heavenly as the older pairs did. Whatever changes asics made, I hope they revert them and go back to the original nimbus.

These are very hard and hurt my feet even more than my previous cheap sneakers. They seem to be on the smaller side. I purchase a 7, half size up. The first time I wore them, they seemed okay. The second time my foot is slipping all the way to the front and hitting the end. Not sure when is going on with this shoe but it is off.

I've been a loyal Nimbus wearer from many years (started with 14). Although there have been several that have not been as good this is by far my least favorite. In 'street' shoes, I wear a 7 1/2 - 8. I learned early on that with Nimbus, I need an 8 1/2 and it's worked well for years. This sizing on the 22 is off and I needed to go up to a 9. That didn't really bug me as much as the arch seems off when I went up in size. I'll wear these for a bit then probably switch. I see no improvement in this version. I was so fond of the 21 that I was hopeful that I'd feel the same way about the 22. So bummed.

These do not have much cushion. I had to buy insoles to add cushion. The old pair of "Gel Nimbous"(that has no number) have much more cushion then this pair or the pair I bought last yr of Gel-Nimbus 22. The clerk at the store said he had heard this complaint from others.

I love Asics products. I don't love this shoe. It isn't as comfortable as other pairs I've owned and I've owned over 15 pairs. I really should have sent this one back. It's just ok.

I am an avid ASICS Lover always get the get the Gel Nimbus this specific shoe (22) was not great. Found that there was no support in the body of the shoe, felt very stretchy and caused my feet to slide to the outer part of the shoe which didn’t happen with previous versions of the gel nimbus.

Comfortable trainer except for the fact they dipped to low at the forefront for my foot. I also wear orthotics which was not an issue though. It seems the latest model looks the same. A shame as I now need to hunt for another brand. Was needing something top of the range which was flat all the way through the footbed.

These trainers are tight fitting. I wear a UK 4 in all shoes and trainers but I found the toe area particularly the big toe area could have a few millimetres space. My toes are a little sore when I get back from my run.
