Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

Comfy, deliciously padded, supportive, attractive as well

Cushion upon cushion. Plus this color pops more than expected. Perfect for running.

Faithfully have purchased this model. This time around, the cushion on the inside of the heel has worn through, exposing the inner hard plastic. Only have put about 100 treadmill miles on them and now getting blisters. Wont buy the 26, again.

I love the shoe but had terrible experience from a customer service standpoint. After purchasing the shoe, because Ive never worn this brand before, I had second thoughts and decided to purchase an older model of the exact same shoe. Within 10 to 15 minutes of my original purchase I made a request to Customer Service through the contact us field requesting to cancel my order. I did not hear back for almost 24 hours and was told it was too late because it Hass to be canceled within 15 minutes. My request was in 15 minutes but a Repton address it until significantly later, I ended up having to return the shoes and pay my own shipping even though I made the request within the 15 minute policy I was told you have I actually love the shoe and would have considered buying my next pair directly through your company however, based off of that experience, I dont expect to do so in the future

Terrible! Do not recommend! Extremely uncomfortable and the return policy is terrible. Try the Brooks Glycerin instead, WAY BETTER!

Cushion was excellent, very poor toe area material

Absolutely the most comfortable cushioning shoe ever !

Great cushioning, great stability, and a good toe box if you need a little width. My only kvetch is that the nice soft double collar acts like a funnel for some kinds of debris, so that I end up with a heel cup full of leaf fragments.

I love this shoe. Comfort and style are second to none. Asics customer service is also stellar. I have and will continue to repurchase.

To get to the point, I am hoping Asics can bring back the Nimbus 25 and just market it as a real freakin good nurse shoe...and don't make any changes to it. I've always worked on my feet as a teacher, as an EMT, and now as an RN doing 12 hour shifts, and I have never loved a shoe as much as the Nimbus 25. Cushioning and the feeling of being propelled when I walk and run. Loved them more than my OCs, Brooks, and Hokas, but I do not like my Nimbus 26s. Obviously, at the store I could tell right away they were not the same, but i got em anyways..,because the 25s just worked so well for me, but one day at work on my feet and I am HATING this shoe. :( I don't understand why my feet are so unhappy in this shoe, but i will wear my old PINK 25s tomorrow instead, then go check out some of the newer Hokas or OCs this week....or maybe buy what's left of the Nimbus 25 inventory, so that I have back for the next few years. Also, the Nimbus 26 color options are all pretty bad. No more hot pink or rainbow and most of the souls are white...that don't work in the hospital.

I don't like the upper material as much as the 25.

This is my third time buying a Gel-Nimbus, nothing has this comfort! My only complaint is after two years the top toe area, with the fabric, does fray. I tried other brands but I keep going back to this one!

These are lightweight but still have plenty of cushion (feels like running on a cloud) for those that like maximum support. I wore them for my marathon & they were excellent! These are a great upgrade from the gel-cumulus 25s. They are lighter.

I have been wearing Gel Nimbus the last 2-3 years. Absolutely LOVE them! I am a big runner & the pair I retired before buying these were the Nimbus 25s. I added how many miles were on them before my feet started bothering me. From 3/22/24-11/7/24 I logged 968 miles on them! The 26s I am having trouble with my toes & the ball of my foot going numb! PLEASE go back to the 25 style!!! This shoe is a lot more narrow & doesnt allow toes to spread like the 2s did!

These are great! I LOVE THEM!! I use them at work where I am schedules 12 hr days and these are comfortable to be wearing during long hours.

I love these shoes, really help my feet, i am a diabetic and they really help my feetand legs

Best way to describe the fit is shallow, I felt like my foot didnt have enough room without sliding out. The actual size was good. I previously had the novablast 4 and prefer that shoe over this one.

I've been running in Gel-Nimbus for years. Asic running shoes are the only shoes I have found that give my feet and knees the support I need when running. I LOVE THEM!

Extremely comfortable right out of the box! Feels like walking in a cloud!

Feels funny. Right foot hopefully it wont mess up my foot

These shoes are like walking on clouds! They are so light on your feet, that it feels almost like you aren't wearing shoes! They support my back, I could walk all day in them and they are a perfect fit. I liked them so much that I went back out and bought two more pairs, just in case they stop making them. These are the PERFECT shoes for walking and running.

I love love love my nimbus-25 and this feels like a completely different shoe. I double checked I ordered the right one because putting on my 25s for the first time felt I like I stepped into a cloud and these feel like concrete. It feels like a much narrower shoe too. Wish I could return them but I kept trying to give them a chance maybe I hadnt broken them in enough? Safe to say Im ordering 2 more pairs of 25s to last me.

These are my all time favorite running shoes! I just got my third pair and they are tried and true. They are light, yet supportive, and not to mention come in so many color options whether you like bright or neutral. My only complaint is that over the 3 pairs I feel like the laces have gotten shorter and shorter. I have had to alter the way I tie my shoes because I don't have enough lace remaining to tie a bow! It would be nice if they offered a longer set of laces as an accessory.

Not happy that my beloved model was discontinued. I am currently in this one & probably won't buy it again. Feels like the sole is not all the way to the back of the shoe & there is a lack of cushion in the front toe area of the right shoe. I paid $160 so really this is unacceptable. It wasn't apparent until I wore it for a day.
