Beautiful trainer but did not find comfortable.
Returned and awaiting refund - concerned that there are complications with this now the UK is no longer in the EU. This puts me off buying on line in the future.

It seems that I need a shoe horn for this sneaker. Unlike the previous models, I was able to slip on the sneaker, but every time I put on this sneaker the back of the sneaker roles down. So I need a shoe horn to keep the back of the sneaker from rolling down. Secondly, this sneaker has less structure. It just feels like mesh.

Not as comfortable as I expected. Returning for something more cushioned.

I’m a longtime gel nimbus fan. I remember having style 14 and now we are on style 22. Style 22 is NOT as comfortable or supportive as style 21 and lower. Fit seemed comfortable but the front of my foot floated around causing hip and knee aches. Support not good. I returned to old style 21 and am much more comfortable. Please change design back,
I'd also recommend:
Asics gel nimbus my only shoe for many years.

The Model GelNimbus 22 has narrower toe box and my feet were miserable trying them in the house.
The Model #21 has the wider toe box but cannot find them anywhere online any longer.
ASICS: Make a an alternate model with the wider toe box of the #21! A few friends and I already agree on this. I'd like to return these. Need a shipping label.
I'd also recommend:
Asics. Vionics. New Balance.

Rating lower than previous models because toe box is narrower, fabric so thin my feet are cold, and right shoe squeaking every step. Ive been buying 3-4 pair of these per year and this is first pair I've been disappointed with

All my ASICS size 9 are 27 cm long and equivalent to 42.5 European size. This particular pair of size 9 was only 25.75 cm long and European size of 40.5, clearly two sizes too small. I cannot comment on the quality because I couldn't put them on.

The shoe has good support and is very cushioned. However, I find the shoe to be very stiff, and after repeated wearings, it has yet to be "comfortable." I'm used to being able to walk comfortably from the beginning in Abeos, so will go back to those.

Unfortunately, I've decided not to purchase anymore GEL-Nimbus. I've bought GEL-Nimbus shoes for over a decade, and the quality has really taken a downturn over the last couple of years, but this purchase was the last straw. The regular width suddenly was too small so I ordered the same shoe in wide, and they still felt too small. It felt like my foot was going to slip off the sole. The fabric top began to wear through after 1 month of use. It was great while it lasted, but no more GEL-Nimbus for me.

Too small. Rigid and uncomfortable. I was very sad I had to return them, they are a good looking shoe. I miss the 18's, they were the best.

Shoe fit perfectly, but the comfort/cushion is not the same as my previous orders. Slightly disappointed.

i have worn Acics for years this product seems cheaply made. No support around the toe area looks like the material is wearing in that area I'm ready to throw them out only after 3 months. Very disappointing..

I sized up to 9 in the Nimbus 19 and have been wearing a 9 ever since. This Nimbus 22 size 9 is a 1/2 size too big fir sure. It's length is too long, and it's too wide in the toe box. I'm in a quandary about wearing a runshoe too big with a thicker sock, or not wear them..

Love the color and cushioning and don't give much support. Also feel snug through the toes, and I had sized up by a whole size. For the price, would have expected more support.

These look nice but not as cushioning as my old ones. Just not the same... pinches on top of my foot and causes blisters. I want to love them like my 18 but just not held to the same standard.

Shoes felt hard when having them on. I thought it would feel more cushiony, but I felt no cushion at all. Inserts thin and cardboard like. The shoe is very sturdily mage though. I don't know where the "Gel" was suppose to be?

Does not have big enough toe part. Hard to loosen and break in.

I usually wear a size 7 or 7.5 but this was a size 8 and seemed to fit length wise. However, the arch support felt like it was by my toes not my arches and I didn't feel any cushion or gel support either. These were even more uncomfortable than the Merrell Moabs that I returned. I'm sending these back. I have very high arches and need something that will work and I'm running out of options other than the Vionic Walker.

I have always loved the way the Gel-Nimbus has worked for my feet BUT this newest shoe highly disappoints. There is not the support on the bottom of show across upper foot. The style is great BUT the support not so much.

I was looking for cross trainers but both of the Asics shoes I ordered did not fit well even though I ordered a size larger. Could barely put the shoe on as it was too tight. My normal size for shoes in 9 1/2 to 10.

I've been wearing gel nimbus for years. These don't have nearly as much cushioning in front. After a short walk, I was in pain.

Very uncomfortable and no cushion, definitely not designed for running.

I am a nurse and on my feet all day. I did my research on this shoe. I thought it would be comfortable but it wasn't. First few days I had pain in the bottom of my left foot, and I thought I was just breaking it in. Although the pain stopped these shoes do not give any back support and it is very unfortunate that I cannot return them.
