Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

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 26's are incredibly comfortable and I feel even faster in them without sacrificing the comfort of a more supportive shoe. Did a 15 miler along Boston's 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 won't think about your feet at all! They are truly amazing and a substantial improvement from the 25! Thank you ASICS!!!.

Great shoe-says it is red but more like super bright orange-Like it better than 25 version

The shoes get even come. The more you wear them. I stand on my feet for most of the day for my job in these shoes. Keep me comfortable and going. I love them and I definitely recommend them to everyone.

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 they've 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 don't know how to engineer a solution for future versions without changing the heel shape, but it's a minor annoyance that I happily put up with because my feet are much happier in these shoes!

The most comfortable shoes I own. This is my 3rd pair of ASICS and I love them. I previously wore the 25 which are also very comfortable.

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 women's 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.

Love them once I put dr scholls RUN INSERTS in. I felt unbalanced due to the higher spongier base. But once I adjusted I was in love.

As a nurse, I can say that my Nimbus 26 helps me to be able to work all of my shifts. They are so comfortable and a lot better than other brands. Get it! They are the best.

Comfortable shoes. No complaints. I bought black and wide.

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.

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!

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.

Incredibly confortables. Like walking no clouds Really in love with my gel nimbus. This is my first pair of Asics so I am really surprised.

Very comfort and very light the only issue for me is the lashes to small

Comfy and supportive but holes in toe box within 2 months.

Have worn ASICS for 10+ years - cumulus or nimbocumulus -love them!

Runs great and great quality and comfort but the color selection is meh

My favorite pair of ASICS so far. Help a lot with being on my feet all day

I'm just getting into running and these shoes are great! They have plenty of cushion and fit beautifully.

I've bought this type for years. The only reason it isn't a "5" is because it seems to me the cushioning is a bit less than prior years. It could just be me & getting these on sale was helpful.

These are the most comfortable shoes Ive ever owned. In general Asics have been more comfortable than other brands, but I had been buying less expensive shoes. However, I have tailors bunions and hammer toes, and in the last few months the cushioning in a regular shoe wasnt enough to keep walking from being painful (I will eventually have to have surgery but am putting it off for as long as I can). I was only going to use them for running and keep using cheaper shoes for walking and everyday use, but once I felt how comfortable they were, I couldnt make myself go back to the cheaper shoes, so I ordered 2 more pairs.

The shoes gave me terrible blisters with back rubbing so high. The heel support was amazing though. I only wore a few times unfortunately.
