Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

Looks good but hurt my feet so bad I can't wear. I thought they would be more comfortable, but I have tried to wear them several times and they always hurt my feet. I thought they would be more comfortable. Do waster the over $100 these shoes cost.

Sapphire color is beautiful. Fit, comfort and ease of putting on the shoes all mak contribute to being one of my favorite pairs of shoes now. Nimbus/26 features are amazing - to the point where I wear them all day and hate taking them off. They encourage walking with their comfort and rocking base. Highly recommend.

These shoes are very comfortable. Working as a Respiratory Therapist youre on your feet all day and you need shoes that are comfortable and lightweight!!!! These shoes are it for me

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?

Great comfort and fit except back pull tabs to pull shoes on rubbed the back of my ankles raw! Had to wear band aides until they toughened up! These tabs aren't necessary!

Love these shoes but as an FYI the red shoes are not even close to red they are actually a safety orange. I bought mine to wear at work but I am not able to wear them there because they are way off in color. These shoes are the best if you work on your feet all day! So comfy and eliminated foot pain from that hard floor.

These are my 3rd pair of gel nimbus but these are not like the others they hurt back of my feet Achilles tendon. They are not soft and cloudy as the others are. Unfortunately I am going to return them to store today. I dont know why they are changing them I can feel with changing their design they are changing the clouds softness and comfort. Also ASICS colors is getting boring. If they follow Hokas colors and use old ASICS gel nimbus I think their customers will be happier.

These are the best feel for my plantar fasciitis. Im on my feet all day long and my feet dont hurt.

I work in the OR on my feet all day and these are the best shoes Ive found so far! Ive had them about 2 months and my feet and legs feel great after a 12 hour shift!

The first pair i ordered were 9 W. They were a little big but felt so good i kept them. The second pair were 8.5 W and are perfect. I have arthritis and have had many surgeries on my feet and these shoes are the only shoes i can wear and not have any pain. I love them.

Admittedly a Gel-Nimbus fan, this is a good shoe. I wasnt thrilled with 24 & 25 but I love the 26. Perfect cushioning for the long run.

Overall, I am a complete convert to ASICS! 55 yo marathon runner who just ran her 18th marathon at Disney World (Dopey Challenge) in the Nimbus 25 after wearing Hokas for years. ASICS Nimbus are the superior shoe. They are not clunky at all and I feel faster when I run in them. I al also a physician and I wear them for overnight shifts. My feet feel fantastic in this shoes. The Nimbus-26 are an improvement from the Nimbus-25. Same amazing support without the pillowy, slightly bouncy feel of the Nimbus-25. The 26s are incredibly comfortable and I feel even faster in them without sacrificing the comfort of a more supportive shoe. Did a 15 miler along Bostons Heartbreak Hills two days ago in the Nimbus-26. PHENOMENAL SHOE! Will be ordering another pair as soon as I finish typing this review! I hope ASICS will over more colors in the ASICS Nimbus Wide 26. I have broad metatarsals but an otherwise slender foot. The Nimbus -26 wide is an improvement from the Nimbus-25 wide. Plenty of room across my metatarsals without looking bullky. In summary I highly recommend the ASICS Nimbus 26 for distance runners and for all healthcare workers who work long shifts. You wont think about your feet at all! They are truly amazing and a substantial improvement from the 25! Thank you ASICS!!!.

Ugh. So sad about the changes made to the Nimbus. The 25s were perfect and I actually ran my first marathon in them just last month. Since I loved them so much, I went ahead and bought the 26s and theyre not good. For me at least. Ive worn them on three runs so far and on all three my pinky toes have gone numb in the first two miles. Its not a size issue. The length and width are perfect and the same as the 25s. If anything, the 26s are a touch bigger in length. But I believe the problem is either the new lacing structure or the firmness in the forefoot or a combination of the two. The new lacing structure puts added pressure onto the top of the foot and no matter how loose I make the laces, I can feel the laces on the top of the foot. Ive never even given any thought to the laces on the 25s. You couldnt feel them at all. And yes, the 26s are firmer which isnt necessarily bad, but theres some very firm areas in the forefoot that just plain hurt once youre running. Wish ASICS had a better return policy because I would definitely return them if I could. Its hard to know if a shoe is going to work until youve run in it at least a few times, but then you cant return them, so its frustrating. Im definitely going to be sticking up on the 25s and keeping my fingers crossed that next years version goes back to the previous lacing system and back to the soft cushion in the forefoot.

These are my favorite! I have plantar fasciitis and had tried out the 25s, and they were like walking on clouds. A game changer for me! I was a little worried that the 26s seemed a little less cushiony when I first put them on, but theyve broken in a little bit and the cushion is nice and supportive on my arches. I will say that the only gripe I have about these shoes is that the heel kicks up dirt and bits of leaves into my socks/shoes. It is the WEIRDEST thing, and I always have to take my socks off outside after a walk around the neighborhood because of all the dirt collected around my ankles. I dont know how to engineer a solution for future versions without changing the heel shape, but its a minor annoyance that I happily put up with because my feet are much happier in these shoes!

Favorite distance running shoe ever in 24 year career. The gel cushioning is phenomenal upon landing and yet responsive upon push off. I wish you offered womens wide in more colors. Love the trend for the sole color to match the upper color i.e., black on black, red on red, etc.

I really love everything about this shoe with one, exception, the sole provides zero traction on any surface that is even remotely wet. I've run in many versions of Gel Nimbus shoes in recent years, and think this version is superior in a number of ways. But, unlike previous versions, the tread is almost non-existent. The shoe description describes good traction, but the shoe does not grip moist asphalt and was downright dangerous running through water stops during a recent marathon. Other than the traction issue, I love this shoe.

The new Nimbus design doesnt seem as comfortable and accommodating to my foot. It has a harder hit on the ground, I guess just compared to how the 2023 Nimbus was its not as nice as a run for me when I wear these

Never got my shoes and the carrier they use could care less. I have no less than 50 pairs of Brooks shoes and NO Asics and I guess I am gonna keep it that way.

Usually wear Nike but these good width in toebox, just a tad wide in heel - sox make perfect. Cush in soles is great. Side-to-side support very good. Use for cycling & gym weight lifting circuits. 4.5 stars.

I don't feel this shoe is as good as its predecessors. Difficult to get on and the ride is somehow not as cloudlike. Still it is an ok shoe that I will wear from time to time.
