They arrived fast, they fit perfectly. They definitely have lots of cushion, thank you Asics.

Returning them, a little too short and not quite wide enough. I'm sorry you charge a "re-stocking fee" when the shoes are already $160. Hoka, New Balance, Brooks do not. Plus you can even wear them outside and run in them to see if they work. With the other brands, rather than wearing them indoors leaving the tags on.

Love the snug fit and support. Laces need to be double knotted.

comfortable, maybe a bit more "spongey" than I'd like, but not as bad as the super foam type soles

Not as comfy as 25 model, less cushion and overall fit not as well as last years model. Even though it's a wide it doesn't fit like a wide

Honestly really great shoes. I have between standard and wide feet and at first I thought they were too narrow but after the first 2 uses, they loosened up a bit. I don't run more than 5 miles at a time currently but even then I have always struggled with shin splints and calf cramps and these shoes helped a lot. Yes, most every running shoe needs breaking in so expect that foot pain but remember to walk or jog through it and apply pressure. Wear running socks, they prevent moisture and provide cushion to avoid blisters and if you know you are prone to blisters, wear a band-aid for the 1st and 2nd use. Do dynamic stretches before a run and static stretches after a run. Overall, these shoes are lightweight, very cute, super breathable, snug with a lot of room around the toe box, super cushion-y, and nice arch support. And remember, always go up half a size from your normal everyday wear shoe unless you know your proper running shoe size!

I previously have always had New Balance sneakers. I have two knee replacements, and my Physical Therapist suggested I check out Asics sneakers. I bought the Gel Nimbus 26 two months ago and love them. They are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned! I power walk daily, doing 15-20 miles a week and my toe has gone through the left sneaker completely and the right sneaker toe is starting to break down as well. I have orthotics in the sneakers, not sure if this is what is causing this, but it should not happen. The toes in the NB sneakers are reinforced much better. I called Customer Service to raise this issue and am waiting to file a warranty claim.

I have been wearing Asics for years. I recently had surgery for Plantar Fasciitis and was having difficulty being on my feet for long hours since the surgery. I have spent so much money on shoes that were recommended to me by the podiatrist that did my surgery, with no relief. I decided I was just going to go back to Asics and I read the reviews from other nurses and a couple of doctors on the website for this particular shoe and made the decision to order them. All I can say is WOW!! So comfortable from day one. So much cushioning and support. If you are looking for a shoe with support, cushioning and style, these are the shoes to get. You won't regret it. The only thing I regret is the hundreds of dollars that I have spent on other brand shoes. Asics have never let me down.

I needed to invest in a new pair of sneakers, and I knew the ASICS gel nimbus style fits. I ordered this latest model, NOT ON SALE, and it fits perfectly and provides perfect cushion and support in all the right places. Happy but broke.

These fit bigger than my other gel nimbus and are no where near as comfortable. I also tried the 25s and they were not comfortable either. Im not sure why they would change the structure or inner workings of this shoe but please go back to previous versions like the 23s because the gel nimbus are the only shoes I can wear and Im on my feet all day.

fit fine.
Toe area lacks the support of the Nimbus 19- 20
Great cush on the heel and great arch support

The color is fun but shows dirt quickly. The shoe is comfortable and I prefer them over the others I have bought from Asics.

These are great shoes but they do not have the arch support that previous Nimbus shoes had.

I typically wear a wide in the Nimbus and have been buying them for years. This particular model tends to run wide, so I had to end up with the regular width. This shoe is SUPER comfortable, but in my opinion, better for walking or a light jog as it feels heavy and is not good for fast runs.

I have been an avid user of Asics for years and buy the new model each year. Bought the 26's 3 weeks ago and immediately had an issue with one sneaker rubbing on the inside of my heel causing a blister. Attempted to get a new pair thinking something was defective with that particular shoe. I proceeded to get a lesson from Asics on how you should loosen the laces before taking the shoes off or putting them on. Not happy with their customer service.

Initial fit was comfortable so I took the tags off. Wore them around the house and my feet became uncomfortable. Read the return policy and learned this expensive shoes cant be returned after tags removed. I tried to wear them to work but shortly into my 12hour shift .. I had to sit down and take the shoes off in a healthcare setting (yuck).

The sneakers are super comfortable. Feels like I am walking on a cloud. Not so crazy about the actual design of the sneaker. I wish the gray stripe appeared on both sides to make it look better

Loved the look of shoe. Didnt feel amazing on my feet, but still trying to break them in. Almost feel like the bottom of my feet rub/burn after Im in them awhile. Cushion feels really good.

Ordered same size, same brand, Gel Nimbus ASICS. This shoe is approximately one size larger than last ordered.
I'd also recommend:
ASICS is the only brand athletic shoe that I have worn for past several years
