Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

I recently got my hands (or rather, my feet) on the GEL-NIMBUS 26, and I can confidently say this is one of the best running shoes I've ever worn. ASICS has truly outdone themselves with this iteration, refining comfort, cushioning, and overall performance to an entirely new level. Comfort & Fit Right out of the box, the fit is snug yet flexible, providing a secure feel without being too tight. The soft, breathable upper hugs the foot nicely, making long runs feel effortless. I particularly appreciate the stretch-knit collar, which makes slipping the shoe on and off incredibly smooth. Cushioning & Performance The FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole combined with the PureGEL technology creates an ultra-plush, responsive ride. Every step feels soft yet energetic, absorbing impact efficiently while maintaining a smooth transition. Whether on pavement, treadmills, or long-distance road runs, the shock absorption is phenomenal, reducing fatigue even during extended sessions. Stability & Traction The AHAR outsole provides excellent grip and durability, making it reliable on both wet and dry surfaces. The shoe also feels stable without being overly rigid, making it a great choice for neutral runners looking for a supportive yet cushioned ride. Final Thoughts The GEL-NIMBUS 26 is a game-changer for runners who prioritize comfort and cushioning. It's perfect for long-distance training, recovery runs, and even casual wear due to its stylish and sleek design. If you're looking for top-tier shock absorption, supreme comfort, and an overall smooth ride, this shoe is absolutely worth the investment.

The shoes are amazing...they ship through fedex, and fedex is garbage!!! That's why 4 stars!

Amazing feel! When I first tried them on I wasnt quite sure, but after a few miles of breaking the shoes in, they are great! Breathable, and comfortable wear on my longer runs, highly recommended!

So far so good. Praying they do not develop holes in the toes like the first pair.

Very disappointed with my first pair of Yellow Nimbus 26. Loved everything about them until holes began to develop by the toes just after the 90 when I could return them.

I bought these Gel-Nimbus 26 to have an extra pair of shoes to wear day to day. In the past Ive had a hard time picking out a comfortable pair of shoes that felt good on my feet all day. These gel-nimbus met that requirement. I have been buying Asics gel-nimbus for many years now and they never disappoint.

These shoes are simply the most supportive and comfortable runners that I have ever worn. This is my 3rd consecutive pair and they just keep getting better.

The best running shoes Ive ever used game changers for your daily run

These were my favorite shoes from ASICS and Ive been wearing them for many years.

Very comfortable and fits according to size. Quality is outstanding

I walk 30-60 mins daily on a 15 degree incline at 4.5 mph. These are the BEST Shows Ive found for heel cushion and overall foot support. Just purchased 2 more pairs.

Very nice and comfortable and excellent i recommended

Very cushioned shoe. Comfortable but a bit bulky and heavy. Good for long runs.

Love the shoes. These are the best running shoes I have ever worn. The Gel-Nimbus is the only running shoe I will wear now.

Im a fan of ASICS but I made a mistake buying this shoes model since at 2 hours my feet hurt and its not designed to walk like other models.

I've used them for about three weeks for walking 2 or more miles several times a week and find them comfortable and well cushioned. They are extremely different from the 10 year old ACIS they replaced.

Started wearing a pair in November and holes developed in the inside material in under 3 months of mild use. Asics denied my warranty claim. This has never happened before in 15 years of wearing Asics and will never happen again because after this treatment I'm switching to Hokas.

I have been a long time Gel Nimbus customer and these are consistently good. I did try the Novablast recently just for a change of pace and although they were comfortable and a bit more responsive than the Nimbus, I still prefer the comfort/stability of the Nimbus for longer distance runs.

While I really loved the 24 series of this line, this model is not what I was hoping for. The show feels much larger, longer and wider than the previous model. It feels enormous compared to its predecessor. Also, the color I chose in green is disappointing as well but thats more subjective of course. The color does not factor in to my rating. The show is comfortable but just doesnt feel as nimble as the earlier models. Ive had several nimbuss and this 26 makes me want to look at something else. I hope they go back to the smaller scale like the 24.

Super comfy, like clouds. Fits true to size and will be getting another pair once these are worn out. 10/10

Very comfortable shoe, but not the best upper quality, After the first use the front part of the shoe sinks near my toe! Also if you try to exchange them, is not an option you need tu return them and buy them again, and wait 5 days for you refund!

Great cushion, but also super lightweight. Has good durability. Ive run a marathon in this shoe in 3 hours and 6 minutes with no issues. Highly recommend if you want a bouncy trainer!

Every year I purchase new ASIC GEL NIMBUS running shoes. The shoes are an excellent fit with great arch support and awesome stability.

Very comfortable shoes, fits my broader than usual feet very well. Love the cushioning.

It is a great shoe for easy runs and longer runs, I tried picking up the pace but slow me down lol. This shoe does need a bit of a break in so that no minor pain comes out of nowhere. Overall, great shoe, will buy again if it's still in stock.
