ASICS GEL NIMBUS has comprised their comfort for some reason. I didn't mind paying a high price for a good, spongy, the most comfortable walking shoe I'd ever worn with previous versions of this shoe. What happened ASICS ? well, I'm waiting ! These are not comfortable and certainly not worth the high price tag. I don't mind paying high prices for a good shoe but this is definitely not worth it. Very disappointed

I have been wearing women's gel Nimbus for years and years. Not once have I experiences tears in the fabric of the shoe. After only wearing the for about 2 months, I got tears in both of my navy blue shoes - I was disappointed. I am now wearing a new pair, hopefully I will not have problems with these shoes

I have worn several versions of the Gel Nimbus over the years and loved each one but this one is a disappointment. After only 3 wears the shoe support has become distorted, forcing my feet to sit at an angle.

Shoes are smaller than my previous ASICS gel cumulus shoes of the same size. I will try the next size up.

I LOVE the nimbus and have had over a hundred pairs, but have been extremely disapointed in the boring colors recently. I ordered the birch/champagne thinking it was going to look glittery and fun. The shoe looks nothing like the picture!! It's a just a beige shoe. Let's go ASICS!!

I usually do not have to order sneakers in wide but I had to for the GEL-Nimbus 22. Overall the fit was better compared to the very narrow standard fit. However, on my first run, my outer toes really suffered with a burning sensation. I proceeded to only go on walks in these and I continue to have some mild discomfort around my outer toes. I've given two stars because the heal of this shoe is very supportive.

I bought these just over 2 months ago. The knitting on top has a hole. The soles are already wearing out. Also they fit well, however it seems the comfort/padding had already began to not be as comfortable. I would like a refund or replacement. Not happy. I have always worn ASICS. Very dissatisfied.

I usually buy Kayanos, but after a knee injury they were not comfortable at the time. I have had my pair of Nimbus for less than 5 months and they are already loosing tread and pilling in the heel. I alternate shoes to keep this from happening and they're still breaking down. Granted, I will say they are super comfortable. Normally I am a size 9.5 and I needed a size 10, these ran pretty small. This is the first purchase I regret of ASICS.

Have been wearing this model of women's running shoe by asics since they have been making them; never saw a shoe change so much in sizing and comfort every year when a new version is introduced!!

Just received my Grey pair in a 9.5 and I'm not impressed. This is probably my 6th pair of ASICS Nimbus and I like checking out the new models every year and this by far my least favorite. The toe bed is too rounded and not flattering plus it runs pretty snug. I really miss the Nimbus 18...my favorite. Looks like I'll pass on a new pair this year.

Attractive, subtle color combo, but uncomfortable across top of foot. I got bruising across the top of my foot, irritated my tendons. I have other Asics GEL-Nimbus and this did not happen. At first, I thought it was poor lacing tension on my part but after working with it for a while, I realize the construction is bad across the top of the foot and there is no give to accomodate. I wore mine twice and now I have to throw them out.

I have been buying basics for at least 10 years and have always been a size 8.5. These were too small and I did not like they way they looked once I saw them up close and I returned them. I then ordered Gel Kayano's which is the style shave worn most recently. Ordered size 8.5 and they were too small - I held they up to my current pair of Kayano's and they are clearly smaller. I have returned those and ordered them in a size 9.

I really wanted to like these shoes, but they just didn’t work out for me. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal and they were still too small and narrow. I would have needed to add my own inserts because there was minimal arch support with the ones that came with the shoes. They also didn’t feel very soft or well cushioned.

First of all Zappos is the best! They indulged my exchanges/returns etc. Thank you! Unfortunately, I could not keep my Asics Gel Nimbus 22. Asics needs to improve more on the toe box it still needs more room & the fabric in that area is way too stiff! The instep area is low ! Comfort level is not the same. For over 18 years, I always purchased Asics Nimbus. When I would have them on I would be in heaven (a cloud nine experience) Now their comfort level is gone. And I did try....I ordered two sizes 9.5 W and 10 W. I felt like someone was stepping on my toes! And my orthodontics did not fit proper in them. They didn't line up. I did try to size up. The 10 W was too big in length. (My feet size (9.5 Wide) has not changed )Please Asics bring back our original Nimbus 17's. I use to recommend to everyone that Asics was the best...now I cant!! So upset...I want the original Asics back! Please!

So disappointed in this shoe. Asics has still not learned that people want cushion in the whole running shoe, not just a little in the rear footbed. I've gone thru gel nimbus 16,17, *& 18, they were wonderfully cushioned. Then came 19 etc. & they've never had the cushion that they previously did. Including the 22. I've read numerous reviews & they all say the same thing. Bring back the cushion. Does the company not read these reviews. I will be trying a different brand..

I bought this shoes last week. First, the lady in the store was really not helping, she was not giving any advice. Then, I usually take size 8,5 in ASICS. When I tried them on, it seems ok, but when I started running with them, my feet started to hurt, specially my toes. I should have take a bigger size. Now, Im stuck with them and can't really run long distance with them.

The shoes fit length wise was okay, but toe box was a tad tight. What I especially did not like with these Asics was it felt like there was absolutely NO padding in the front/toe box area of the shoe. I have two pairs of Gel-Numbus 17 and they both feel like bedroom slipppers, the Gel-Nimbus 22 do not.

I've worn Nimbus for years until somebody got the bright idea to completely change the shoe design. Now you have nothing in your lineup that works for me and I've had to switch brands. Each year I check in to see if ASIC's has received the message from its customer base and returned to what worked. Three years have gone by and my loyalty is about done. No colors, no fit, and not listing to those that faithfully bought your shoe year after year. By the time you "hear" us you we'll be gone. Sad because so many of us REALLY liked the old design.

I have had the Gel Nimbus for years. Bought my first pair in 2012 and have bought a new pair every year since. My last pair a Nimbus Gel 21 is not true to size, they are smaller in size and have made my big toes blue and sore after running. I spoke to a guy in a store in LA and he claimed Asics had adjusted the seizing and that shoes are now somewhat smaller. I am very disappointed and will have to find a new brand.

Bad Quality!!!! Wast of money.
I bought them on 2 August last summer. I cannot remember when I received it. What I am sure is that I have not had any chance to do exercise with them because I have suffered from low back pain since the late of August. I only wear them for walking: visiting my doctors, walking to Campus to have class, or hanging out with my friends sometimes when I feel better. However, they worn out quickly. See photos below.
Compared to my previous shoes (other brand) bought in the Spring 2017 (Please see the last photo. Yes, the texture is so good that you cannot find any broken holes or part!! What is important is that I wear that pair almost every day until last August. I still wear them sometimes even now ), this pair of shoes disappointed me very much.

I had these for about 6 months before they began to develop holes in the toe area. Also the 'Ginger/Peach' colour immediately got dirty. Very disappointed. My previous Gel-nimbus 16s lasted almost 10 years. Clearly a difference in the quality of the fabric

I tried both a Cumulus (my long time favorite) and this Nimbus22. The back (heel) broke down in the Nimbus immediately and had a bump in it. I have been buying Asics forever. I will go back to only the Cumulus after this complete waste of money.

My feet never hurt as bad as they did with these ASICS sneakers. I could barely walk a mile without the balls of my feet in excruciating pain. I would not recommend these at all.
