Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

Finally! A shoe that fits normal feet. I've had to buy wides for years due to shoe companies making shoes like Nike (ie shoes for narrow girl feet, rather than foot shaped feet). I can buy a normal width and finally have a color choice of something other than black and white! Way to go ASICS! I love the fit of this better than the 25 over all as well. The tongue is amazing, please never change this. Cushioning feels the same to me, still very soft and pillowy. I wear for 12 hour shifts on hard hospital floors.

I have ran in the nimbus for the past 15+ years and this is the second year in a row that the Nimbus has been a huge disappointment. Why change the #1 selling neutral running shoe that Asics makes? Toe box is way too big (although the 26 is a little smaller than the 25), There is not enough motion control now that they have done away with the trussic system and IGS. The back of the heel is way too high and rubs on my Achilles tendon. The 8mm drop is awful. The Nimbus had a 13mm drop (at least in the woman's version) for 24 years. If you want to create a new shoe that is comparable to the Nova Blast and the Hoka, please do, but please bring back the traditional styling of the Nimbus for those of us that have always been a loyal customer.

Great fit , super comfortable, was having pain in my arches, not with this shoe

Super comfortable, great cushion and my usual size fits like a glove. I didn't like the 25 but the 26 is great!

This new Gel-Nimbus 26 is a totally different shoe than the 25. It is wider, higher, different sole and does not fit my foot like the 25. I will be returning it. I have a narrow foot and this new shoe is larger, making it more difficult for me to run, walk. I feel like the shoe is too big. It is comfortable when on (the footbed is nice). I will order the 25 again.

I have been a nurse for 47 years my feet hurt all the time, the pain limits me from enjoying playing tennis and racquetball. This is the first pair of athletic shoe that is a pleasure to wear and has sincerely improved the quality of my life. Thank You!

I have tried several brand name sneakers and these by far exceed my expectations.. I would definitely recommend this shoe to others.

Was so excited for the Nimbus 26 to arrive. I was always a loyal nimbus fan until several years ago when they removed the superb cushioning that I so loved. They started a return to the cushion with the 23, got better with the 24, and hit it out of the park with the 25. Tried the 26 at an marathon expo and was so saddened to find they once again have drifted away from that plush cloud, energy return!
