Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

Best shoes. I use to get knee pain after running but wearing these I don't get pain anymore. they feel super comfortable during a short run or a long run

Love this shoe and the color is great! This shoe is comfortable and supportive!

Was looking forward to these being just as good if not better than the Gel Nimbus 25 but I was disappointed they are no where near as comfortable they lack the cushioning if you are looking for a shoe for walking or standing on cement all day this is not it

Love the nimbus, but this pair has given me blisters on the back of my foot.

This is my first pair of ASICS, so I went with their advice for width based on my Merrells. Should have gone with wide because of my bunion, but otherwise amazing!

I got these when I worked retail. They were pricey but a lifesaver. The thing is, they aren't really slip resistant or waterproof, so now that I'm in a different field I can't wear them for work. I did try to take out the insoles & put them in my work boots, though. Like walking on clouds, just as long as you're only walking on dry surfaces. Cushioning starting to wear down some after 5 months but not too bad yet.

I love them, they wear better than any other running shoe (I've tried everything: Hoka's, ON, Adidas, Nike, etc.) but every pair of Asics I have end up getting a hole in the top of the toe almost immediately. I have a feeling it is the shape of my foot, but a little reinforcement would be nice. Funnily enough, I recently saw a woman in a coffee shop with a pair of Asics, and she had the same issue.

Obviously some shoes don't work for some people and this shoe definitely did not work for me. I'm a new runner training for a first mara. Was running in ON cloudrunner and knees figured out real quick they were way too firm. I decided on these for extra cushion and first impressions is they were definitely that. Very comfy but also stable. However I did not do my research about the breathability. It's summer here now and even just wearing these casually they are wayyy too warm. Would definitely be a winter shoe for me..however. today I ran a 10k and right before 5k I started to feel a hot spot under my left toes. It continued to build to the point I was wincing and curling my toes to try and stop the stabbing pain. By the time I got to the parking lot where my car was I took them off and decided to walk on gravel barefoot instead. It was bad. I will definitely not be running anything longer than a 5k in these...but I'm tempted to just keep them as an everyday work shoe. Like I said this shoe might be great for other people but its not for me. That being said I'm still an Asics fan.

I've been running on gel-nimbus' for years and loved them. I have narrow feet, high arches and a tendency to have plantar fasciitis flares with under-cushioned shoes, and these used to fit like a glove and minimize aches and pains while training. The recent redesign has made this a completely different fit. The new model is so wide, my foot feels like it's swimming. Unfortunately after many years of training with these, I have to try and find a different shoe. Very disappointed with the changes

I have worn gel nimbus since probably the 18. They were recommended By my chiropractor. They helped my back, feet and knees. These on the Other hand have to be the WORSE pair i have ever worn. They Hurt my back so bad, that i missed work. They throw me off balance. I literally could only try and wear them 3x. I have now gone on the hunt for 23 or 24's What were you thinking?
