Very comfortable and wonderful cushion. Propels you forward while walking. True to size.

I have had a lot of problems breaking these shoes in. 8+ runs and they still hurt.
Have had other Nimbus and not experienced the amount of blisters on my feet. The back of the shoe always makes my socks ride down into the shoe unless i have over the ankle socks. It has been a poor experience

No idea how good these are, my pair has yet to arrive. ASICS has sent me 2 emails to review these shoes and I dont even have them. The delivery service used (in this case FedEx) was not able to deliver my pair, due to my address allegedly being wrong. It took them north of a month to get anywhere close to where I live. I emailed ASICS about a week ago and I have not gotten a response back. The pair was sent back to them by the currier, and I havent gotten a refund or an email from ASICS regarding this issue. I hope this makes it to customer service, because I own a pair of Novablast 4s and I absolutely love them. I was really looking forward to these Gel-Nimbus 26s.

The Best Running Shoe I've ever purchased !! The only thing I don't like is the tag on the tongue!! It rubs . I'd highly recommend these shoes !

Missing the mark on these. I loved my 24 nimbus and recommend ASICS to everyone. Got these and my toes hurt the top of my feet hurt. The bottoms are nice and comfortable but not the rest. I would much rather work out in my old pair that is worn out. Hate these

Not nearly as nice as everyone says. Sadly the fit isnt as good nor is the feel under your feet.

Ive bought multiple gel nimbus 25s, 2 pair at a time on occasion. The 26s are a disappointment. Not as soft, less cushion, feel cheap. My nimbus 25s that have been demoted to yard shoes are still softer than the new 26s. I would disagree these are improved. And would have paid more to retain the comfort of the 25s.

The padding around the ankle is very nice. There is much more cushion in the heel than my previous Gel-Nimbus models. Still pretty good cushioning in the mid-sole. What I don't like is that there is less room in the toe box. It feels narrower in the fore-foot. Still like them for running. (Size:10.5, Med)

I have ordered many shoes directly from ASICS but the ordering process for this shoe was a nightmare. ASICS used a delivery service called Pandion for this order. I got a call from the delivery person who did not speak English. We could not communicate, and the shoe was not delivered. Three days later, the system showed that the shoe was delivered but it had not been. You cannot contact Pandion by telephone. After several exchanges of emails, they agreed that the shoe was lost. Getting a credit from ASICs required numerous phone calls over three or four weeks. I will never order shoes from ASICs in the future.

I did a few runs in them and they are very comfortable. I got a size too big and stopped running in them due to blisters on my toes. I wore 11.5 with the Kayanos but 11.5 in these are too big. Probably would've been better with 10.5 or 11. I wear them around as regular sneakers now instead.

I rate these 4 out of 5. They are very comfortable when running, the gel on the bottom feels like clouds. I highly recommend these shoes because they do not cause strain on the feet. Now for the bad, the shoes are horrible for quick turns, ankle rolls because of the shoe not being stable at the angle but it is still great for runs. The other issue I have is my feet get a little hot, nothing crazy but noticeable. I have not taking them in rugged terrain. Only on roads and treadmill. They took about a week to break in from running 3 miles a day. Farthest I ran was 5 miles no issues and they work great for sprinting. The grip on the bottom is amazing too!

thick foam help absorb the weight of the body and also the flexible soft top wraps the top of foot pretty well and gently. also not to forget the ankle support sponge .

I bought the shoes online and was sent the wrong color. When I asked for a color exchange using my 20% online discount, I was told no. I returned the shoes at their Chelsea store. They got a return and lost a customer.

The shoe runs a tad big. Amazing shoe for walking high miles. For easy runs, it felt a bit heavy, and definitely could not pick up the pace. My legs always felt fresh after every run. Overall, good shoe if use properly.
For reference, I'm 6 foot, athletic build, 220lbs.

I tried these on in the store and they fit great but when I ordered this specific color online they fit completely different in my opinion. I unfortunately couldnt return them so I specifically only use them for walking instead of running.

I have plantar fasciitis and have tried many brands/shoes and these Nimbus are by far the best I've purchased. Unfortunately the 9W only come in two colors or I would have purchase more. Nimbus is a perfect name as it's like walking on clouds!!

I like the shoes. They fit well. Cushion is great. I am a big guy. I work in a hospital. These shoes squeak like old door hinges. Every step I take as I walk down the hall is loud and draws attention from staff and patients.
I like the shoes but Im going to have to use them for yard work instead of healthcare.
