Bought a few months back & already have holes on the top toe area. I do not have long nails and only wear them 1 night shift per week at the hospital. They are very squeaky. The patients can hear me before they see me. The cushioning feels great though, if only they were more durable and less noisy.

I work in healthcare and bought a pair to wear at work every day. Loved them so much I bought another pair for outside of work too!

As a runner with high arches, Im sensitive to the design of the tongue of the shoe. This shoe is built with the runner in mind to not cause unnecessary pressure or pain to the top of my foot. Extremely comfortable and lasted 400+ miles with no major wear or tear. ASICS has been a tried and true!

The first pair I purchased was from Fleet feet they sized them a size too big as they didnt have the size I needed in a wide and I was told that was normal protocol after a couple days of wearing them they let my foot slide too much and wore blisters so they happily returned them no questions asked but I must say other than that they were the most comfortable shoes I ever put on my feet. I then went to an ASICS store and was told I would have to order the wides on line which meant I couldnt try them on first but that if there was an issue after wearing them for a few days I could return them online. Unfortunately that was what I did. After a few days these where definitely nowhere near as comfortable as the first pair which was too big but now I am stuck with a hundred and sixty dollar pair of shoes that I cant wear as I am a diabetic and they are causing blisters which I cant have happening but read on the website if they are purchased online they must not be worn to be able to return. I am very disappointed and will not order anymore ever online. I wish I had gone back to fleet feet and let them order them for me. So I guess I wont be buying anymore

They changed the amount of padding and overall comfort of the shoe. I've loved my 25's and returned the 26's. Not very comfortable. I was disappointed these didnt work out.

Best sneaker ever! Fits my wide size 13 perfectly. Use daily for the gym & everyday wear. Cushioning is outrageous! No more heel pain.

These HURT. I've never, in my whole life, had foot pain like I have wearing these. I get stabbing pain in the ball of my foot, toes go numb, my arch collapses in these, and they somehow feel hot. I've never felt any of these things in any other shoe.
Initially I thought they just needed a break-in. After 5 walks, totalling about 20 miles, the pain, numbness, and heat aren't getting any better. They're impossible to wear comfortably.
I'd love to return them, but Asics return policy is hot garbage. I can't test a running/walking shoe by...running/walking in it? There's no recourse if, after a reasonable break-in, they just aren't my product? I know why. It's because they want to resell them and make as much money as possible, even if at the expense of the original customer. Ridiculous, bordering on unethical.
I'll never buy an Asics shoe again. I'll be actively discouraging people I know from buying Asics shoes, especially directly from the Asics website. Asics has decided they'd rather capitalize on one-time purchases than creating repeat customers and building brand loyalty. Disappointing, and honestly embarassing.

It is an OK shoe. I strongly preferred the Nimbus 24 for long runs. I have the sense that it adjusts to one's foot over time.

Received a lot of compliments on this style of shoe! Sort of like a H**a equivalent. They are super comfy I have them in black, cream with a little bit of orange and the light color with light purple which are all super nice. I wear 9 regular and my feet are even a little wide, but they feel fine!

I love these shoes. I have 3 pair of the older version. The new version has the same great comfort feel with improved stability. Great fit and true to size

My daughter loved the 24's so much. She's gone through two pairs in the last few years; she wears them every day. We took a chance on the 26's but she says the instep is lower and her big toes rub against the top of the shoe. She also doesn't like how there's so much cushioning now and they make her taller.

Recently purchased and I have worn 3x for work. I think it is a great improvement from Gel-Nimbus 25. I am on my feet for 6-8 hours and doing lots of walking and stairs on stone floors.

Ever since the Gel Nimbus 24, I get the worst blisters with every run. It's terrible! I have exclusively run with Gel Nimbus for decades. I don't understand what they changed, but whatever they changed for the last three models has ruined this shoe. I need to find a new running shoe now and I don't even know where to start because I want it to be the Gel Nimbus.

Extraordinarily beautiful and well constructed shoes. Getting carried away running much faster provides awesome cushioning especially for this supinator with wide feet plenty room in the toebox for splay. Definitely recommend.

I love these shoes! They actually do not get dirty easy which I love and they match with all my clothes. They are super comfortable and i wear them both at work (i am in healthcare) and at the gym. Easy to clean too. 10/10 recommend!!

Love my new shoes, the color is very nice. I prefer my tennis shoes to have color all over them, I am not a fan of white tennis shoes or patches of white on them, especially the soles. I purchased the blue pair and they are very pretty. The comfort level is the same for me as the nimbus 25 are that I previously purchased. I would definitely buy them again. I do feel like this shoe runs smaller than previously purchased brands, I usually prefer 7.5 for my tennis shoes I wear to work, but these fit more like a size 7, if youre buying for the first time you may want to consider buying an entire whole size up.
