I actually really like the comfort and support of the shoe. I have been walking in them and unfortunately noticed that they are already getting a hole in the fabric over my big toe area. I’m very disappointed in the quality level for this to happen so quickly.

My last pair of Gel-Nimbus 24s (1 purchased 4 pairs) needed to be replaced so I ordered a pair of Gel-Nimbus 25. UGH! I don't like the wide pull tabs at the back...while they are not uncomfortable I would be "aware" of them. The main reason I am returning the shoe is because while wearing them I feel that my center of gravity is shifted back and I can feel the shift all the way from my heels to my lower back. Also, I struggle with plantar facsiitis and I'm sure having additional pressure on my heels would be a bad idea too.

Sizing is extremely different than the previous years Nimbus. It runs very large. I made that mistake.

I've worn asic nimbus for 30 years. This is the first time I've had to return them. It felt like I was walking on high heels . Don't try to be Hokas. It's very unbecoming!! Now I have to try to find another brand. Please ASICS go back to your own style!!

Great looking shoe just super small. I wear a 9 and bought a 9.5. They were so small I think I would have needed a 10.5!

Shoes don't feel supportive. Too much padding and too much cushion. Don't feel stable. Makes my feet hurt.

I loved the look of the shoe and the initial fit felt very comfortable. I made a couple of laps around the inside of my house and within the first 10 minutes my arches were hurting and a blister was forming on the backs of both of my heels.

I run 4-6 miles a day. I have been a very happy, loyal Asics Customer until now. I have been putting off trying these ridiculous shoes until I had no choice. There are no more previous Gel Nimbus in my size. Huge mistake!
These stupid shoes run big, provide no comfort and caused an injury which as taken weeks to heal from. Unfortunately have many years I am forced to seek running shoes from a competitor. So disappointing

They changed the geometry and that made my run super hard, since new shape doesn’t fit. The run in that model was awful- despite of me buying the previous versions for 7 years at least. WOW. I am trying to find 24- previous version and apparently it’s phased out. I need to figure out a new brand and that is very debilitating.

I've been wearing gel nimbus for over 5 years. This is the worst model ever! I'm not expert on how shoes are made but I believe that the extra inch or so of material behind the heal is causing me to my gate to be different thus causing foot cramps . Not to mention all the extra foam around the base makes my small feet look huge! I'm so disappointed that they change almost everything that I loved please bring back the old style!!

I have worn the gel nimbus in this size for years. The 25 broke away from the form somehow and rubs blisters on both feet. I ran in them 3 times to break them in, each time worse blisters. I tried them as just walking shoes for running errands. Still caused blisters. Had to put them in the trash.

I have these in a 9 and an 8.5 (im a size 8 in regular shoes). The size 9 fit great and felt great, but because they were big the laces were SO long. With the sale, there was only an 8.5 so I figured id give it a try. WRONG. Within the first week, I jammed my big toe nail, bent my baby toe nails on the other side when they got caught up in the shoe and hurt my lower back due to the fit. Long story short, get one size bigger or you'll be hurting.

After 4 months, the plastic strip on the side of the shoe wore through and started chafing my foot. I am never buying an Asics shoe again.

Has weird fabric marks on the toe of shoe. These shoes aren't as soft as I expected. I'm upset that they can't even line up the fabric correctly. I understand mistakes happen, but that's exactly how other shoe stores get their shoes (like joes and other places with shoes with the imperfections)
If I'm paying full price for a shoe I expect it to come without any issues.

This is my 8th pair of Gel Nimbus. The 25 are not like the previous years. I get a size 7 womens. They felt a size bigger. My orthotics from my previous pair were too small for them, the 25s run big. The 25s are bulky and the rubber sole is thicker. The heel measures a full 2", while the 17,19,21 and 23 (the ones I still have) are just under 1" and not attractive. I choose black to camouflage it. But they still look like big bulky shoes. 23s were the best, most comfortable. Having foot problems Gel Nimbus have been the best help for me. I wear them everyday. I hope the next ones are more like the previous ones. As for comfort, average nothing special. I'm not a runner. I stand all day and walk in them. If I hadn't torn my 23s I would back to them.

Quality control was awful. Originally ordered a 10.5, was too small. Order an 11, still too small. Then ordered a 11.5 and was smaller than the size 11.

This Nimbus is comfortable, super cushioned, and supportive. I've been wearing Nimbus shoes for almost 20 years and I've always loved them. However, I don't think I'll buy another pair of this design. I CANNOT KEEP DEBRIS OUT OF MY SHOES. The shape of the shoe at the ankle is very cushioned & feels nice, but it acts like a funnel channeling all kicked up materials into the shoe. I can't wear ankle socks with these as small rocks & bits of leaves then end up in my socks. If you're running on a treadmill or sidewalk that won't have leaves/rocks/pine needles you might be OK. Forget about a dirt/DG park path or tree-lined streets.This is a picture of my shoes & socks after one 3-mile use. I have to vacuum these shoes out before I want to use them again every time I use them outdoors.

I've been buying 6.5 for years and this style is too big. Toe box big/wide. Very high around the ankle.

I do not like the update. I have worn nimbus for years as I have issues with my ankle and typically this shoe works well. This new version is more like a hooka shoe and my ankle is swelling and more painful. I tried hookas once and didn't like them and this new version reminds me of that shoe. Please go back. I do like the update of the laces and the padding around the opening of the shoe.

I love the Nimbus 25, it's like walking on marshmallows... however when I opened the box, this pair was dirty, packed poorly, and I'm pretty sure they have been worn. HUGELY disappointed. I thought more of you, Zappos!!
