Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

Not as good as previous version. This shoe is not quite as cushioned as previous nimbus 25. Also the shoe is more narrow in the front. Makes my toes go numb and I cant wear them for long periods of time. Still trying to break in but my previous pair I could wear no problems right out of the box.

Ive been running in Nimbus 24s for a couple of years so was hesitant to get these new ones. Can confirm that theyre just as great!

Perfect fit! I had a previous version of these and they are very comfortable. They provide the right amount of cushion. I have a higher arch from these work great for me. I have worn hokas before, but because they tend to be a little bit higher and I have weak ankles, so I tend to favor these and I love the colors available with these sneakers.

I wear sneakers all day long for work and leisure. As I am typing this review, I have been wearing these shoes traveling in Europe for 10 days and hitting 40,000+ steps on some days. These shoes are so comfortable and stylish! LOVE LOVE them!

Comfortable and nice looking shoe! The sales associate knew just what I needed after I explained my foot and knee issues!

I love these shoes! super comfortable while still being pretty light weight

Is someone actually testing these shoes? I have been wearing Gel-Nimbus for almost a decade and I cannot believe how utterly disappointed I was that this show is even worse than last years. For the first time ever I got blisters wearing your shoes. BLISTERS, ASICS! BLISTERS! Not only on the back, but on the front of my shin because the tongue is horribly stiff and just digs into you. You have to wear socks that come up past the tongue or you will regret it. I have to buy all new socks or find new shoes. You also have to break these shoes in for the foot bed to feel comfortable and supportive. Honestly, give them almost 2 weeks before deciding if you don't like them. I am hoping that they will last longer because the gel is firmer. I have been asking for Red Shoes for Years and you have only given me reds mixed with pinks and this year a tomato red. It is a cross between Neon Red and Orange. It isn't a Red Shoe. WHY are the shoes GENDER specific? I fall in love with the colors for Men's and Boy's and I wear a Women's size 7 so it isn't possible for me to enjoy those colors? Please make one color selection each year and then just make them for all the Genders so I am not constantly disappointed. Besides, wouldn't that be easier for you all? Not having to come up with sooooo many different color combinations every year for each model for each Gender and Age . . . You clearly do not know what people want since you have removed the padding from the tongue and then used a stiffer material because the tongue was just netting without the padding. Put the padding back. I am tired of having my shoelaces imprinted on my feet because someone thought that was a good idea? The shoe is larger on the bottom so it cannot be because of 'room,' right? I had to change my shoe stand because the larger shoes do not fit. Do any of these thoughts occur to you all when designing the shoe? I am curious. I would love to be a fly on the wall during the designing . . . You know everyone talks about the 18 like it was heaven, because it was. Chuck Taylor stuck to a good design when they found it. They didn't change the design. Just the colors. Imagine if you went back to that shoe and used the technology that you have today to improve the shoe. Don't change the design. Just the materials used and the colors of course. Like a Real Red Shoe . . . Please! I am an autistic woman in her 40's who likes her shoes and would like to continue liking my shoes. I cannot wear anything other than sneakers, so you are my only shoes. Please help me Asics. Please!

theyre awesome! very comfy and very nice shoes. I will say be wary of buying a lighter color as this fabric does not particularly repel dirt and stains.

Got them as a birthday gift for my mom cause shes stays on her feet and she loves them.

Extremely comfy, perfect for my 13 hour shifts and then some. Offer so much support and cushion.

Sleek! Stylish! and COMFORTABLE! I purchased these for a day of walking and they lived up to my expectations! I purchased a second pair so I can have a duplicate.

I purchased these in all black for my teaching job . Standing all day . These are not too confortable.

Great shoe for walking. Extremely bouncy and doesnt irritate my knee issues.

Besides being super cute retro (1990s...they're retro now!), more importantly, they are super comfortable. It's like clouds hugging your feet.

I've been running with Asics for as long as I can remember, and ever since I discovered these shoes over a year ago, I've been in love! I trained for and ran my first marathon in these shoes last January and am currently training for my second marathon. I just bought my fourth pair! I'll never buy another running shoe. Perfect for all runners (beginners to advanced) looking for a comfortable, cushiony shoe.

Really comfortable shoes! I have flat feet and my physical therapist recommended them to help alleviate foot pain. I love them, but they do run a bit tight. I ordered a wide shoe but could have gotten an extra wide, they still fit well and Im not in them all day but that is something to consider.

Love this shoe. When I used to run, ASICS were my shoe. Since stopping, Ive been wearing mostly only Hoka, which is also a great shoe. I wear both brands now, but the ASIC a bit more! Great for my feet. Thank you! And I love the colors. Thanks for making them in wide and fun colors!

The tag hurts so bad and leaves marks on my foot it scratches when I walk

I gave it three stars because the 26s are more narrow in the toe box that the 25s. I had to go a full size given that I have custom insoles as well. Can you please make a wider toe box.

Very comfortable but as another reviewer mentioned, my toe wore through the top of the shoe after about 100 miles. ASICs customer support was amazing though and replaced them for me. I have never had that happen with Nimbus before and I've been wearing them for years.

This style is unmatched. True to size. I love the top aspect of this shoe as it feels similar to a sock, just a very comfortable feel on the top of the foot. I did notice before the shoe was broke in that my toes would get a numb/tingling feeling but once broken in there are no complaints. The customer service makes this company for forever #1.

The most comfortable shoe Ive ever worn! Was recommended by my foot Doctor; wont ever wear a different brand again!!

I need a comfortable shoe for working on concrete floors 10 hours a day. Nimbus 26 cushioning felt great on my feet. However, I underpronate, i.e. supinate, so the outer edges of my heels and outer balls of my feet hit first while running or walking. I purchased the Nimbus 26 based upon Asics website recommendation for underpronation. I expected my feet to feel neutral in the shoe while standing such that the inner and outer edges of my feet are level. However, while standing in these shoes, the inner part of my feet (the arches) were tipping upward at an angle rather than sitting level. The fact that my arches are tipping upward exacerbates underpronation, rather than provide needed support. Also, the shoe laces are too short for heel lock lacing to prevent heel slippage. For $160 the shoes should come with laces long enough for proper heel locking.

Great show I just wish they had a little more Arche in them

I love these. Running is so much easier when you are wearing bouncy, soft clouds on your feet!
