I love ASCICS and always have. But for some reason these dont fit the same. The heel is a little higher and actually puts pressure on my Achilles. So much that I had to take a couple days off exercise to allow it to heal. Very disappointed as this is my go to shoe!

I had the gel-nimbus 25 and loved them. It was time to get new so I got the 26. These are much tighter in the toe area. Still a lot of cushion in the heel. But otherwise seems to be more narrow

Finding these shoes was a huge step in resolving my plantar fasciitis pain. The quality, support and cushioning allow me to return to my normal activities.

Like every ASICS product I have ever purchased, it is a high quality product that typically lasts a long time. Although these Gel nimbus 26 are generally comfortable, they are a bit too buoyant and make me feel off-balanced at times. The padding around the ankle is significant and somewhat uncomfortable. I will probably give them to my daughter who owns another gel nimbus pair and loves them. I purchased another pair of a different style sneaker, though, because ASICS have always been my favorite shoe.

Bought these for my daughter as a birthday present since she is a server and on her feet all day. My daughter can't be any happier now that her feet don't hurt after working long hours. When she asked me how I heard of these shoes, I told her its because I wear them all day while I work. Just to clarify, I am in the medical field and I am on the go all day and all week long.

I am a fan of ASICS shoes and have bought many others. When reading reviews I thought this would be a nice shoe to train long runs in and possibly do a marathon in given the positive reviews if I didn't go with a carbon plate. I thought I had read these would be a great option for even a marathon based on the cushion. Personally, I cannot run more than 6-8miles in these as the cushion and support tend to fade out and my body feels more of the impact when going further than those distances. It does have wider toe box which is nice. I do wish there was a 30-day return policy to get a good gauge of how shoes do after a few runs. I would probably like them more if my purpose was under 10k runs consistently.

I had the gel nimbus 24 which I liked but even though I sized up 1/2 a size they still gave me blisters and felt tight on long distance runs. This time I decided size up a full size which might be part of the problem but these sneakers are so bulky and heavy that it feels like I’m running with weights on my feet. Unfortunately, I realized this after wearing them so Zappos would not allow return. Very disappointing

Super poor quality shoe and bad customer service. I've run in these shoes for 2 months, about 100 miles, and the fabric already has hole where the heel counter is located. This is causing that hard piece to dig into my achilles. I submitted a warranty claim and they told me this is "normal wear and tear" for the shoe. They emailed me a YouTube video explaining how to tie my laces and suggested I may have bought the wrong size. I disputed this letting them know I have used the runner's loop on my laces for 7+ years and was fitted at 2 different running stores for ASICS, knowing I bought the correct size. I've never had a running shoe break down like this after 2 months of use.

Wide gave me just a tiny bit extra I needed in toe box but they do not look obnoxious like wide shoes / look normal. Super cushiony and work great for my fairly flat feet. I walk about 2-3 miles several times a week in them and wear them whenever Ill be on my feet for awhile.
