Asics had a perfect shoe in the Nimbus 26 so I ordered the 27. Why did you add more cushion, it makes the shoe unstable. Why did you make the wide even wider. My foot flopped around in the shoe. It took me years to find a shoe that worked and now you made unnecessary changes and I'm back to the drawing board. Maybe you should talk to real people before making changes.

I would rate these good for the cushion BUT after only 1 month, there are holes in both shoes on the tops & on the sides. For this kind of cost, they should last longer that 30 days.

First pair of ASICS and they’re wonderful! Plenty of toe box room (I usually buy men’s because their colors are better and they start with a wide) and so squishy! My typical shoe size fit perfectly

First Im going to say that these shoes are really comfortable as far as the sole. But I felt there was no support in the upper part of the shoe and that my feet were sliding everywhere. My socks even kept falling down into my shoes. Same socks that I wear with other brands and have no difficulty keeping them in the correct place. The sad thing is I couldnt really tell anything of these things until I wore these outside and really used them, so I cant return them at this point.

These felt like my foot was rocking forward as I walked. I liked that but my foot was turning in with every step I took. So the arch support wasn’t there. I returned them.

The fit of these shoes felt true to size. I absolutely love these shoes. I've worn several types of Asics shoes for many years. My last favorite pair were the gel-kayano 28 but I knew I needed a new pair since I've been more active. I ordered 4 pairs to try on before I decided on which ones I'd purchase. The Gel-Nimbus 27 is so comfortable, very cushy gives me bounce in every step and has alleviated a lot of foot pain. I highly recommend these!

The jury is still out on these. I've worn Gel Kayanos for years and then tried and fell in love with the cushiness of the Gel Nimbus 26. Just got the Gel Nimbus 27 today because I wanted another color and they just don't fit the same as the 26. The toe box is narrower and m big toe hits the side when I walk. The bottom seems thicker and harder than the 26, too. Maybe I'll see if ASICS has the 26 in another color, since Zappos only has navy left. For $165, I'm not making any excuses for my shoes. They need to be perfect.

It does not fit like the older models of Nimbus 27. The Nimbus 26 was to tight and the 27 is too roomy. I don't like this new style. I purchase the Nimbus 18 - 24 and am sorry that style is no longer available. I returned them.

Okay, now ASICS Is getting ridiculous. Not only did the price increase from the 25 and 26, but they drastically changed the toe box. Not even wearable anymore. Lost me as a customer

Love the foot bed, as all Asics, it is great - prefer over New Balance. Not so thrilled that it pulls my socks down ~ the heel cup is a pinch too wide for a woman's shoe in ratio to the length so too much action even with a heel lock shoelace tie. It's my second pair of many pairs of Asics to do this.

I love these shoes! I wore HOKA for years, until their quality went significantly down. I tried the Nimbus 26 first and loved it so much. I ordered another pair and got the Nimbus 27. Super comfortable. I have a high arch so need a lot of support in my foot to prevent plantar fasciitis.

The Nimbus 27 felt uncomfortable particularly in the toe box. I size up in ASICS but this was still an issue. Im a 30-year ASICS wearer and am so disappointed in the evolution of the Nimbus. Ive tried to make the recent versions work but drew the line here (and am in Brooks Glycerin instead).

Loved the Nimbus 26, it was perfect. The 27 is too small in the toe box now and the new almost shiny, weird material on the the top part of the shoe is not an improvement, less stretchy and not as breathable. They overall comfort was also off. I'm so disappointed with the changes. I will be looking for another brand that's comparable to the older Nimbus. Please bring back the old design!!

Had holes in the top of this shoe. The top!!! I called Zappos and they sent me a replacement pair. Holes in the top of this shoe again. This time there are multiple holes. How do you get holes on the top of the shoe??? Ridiculous. These shoes are expensive too. Do not recommend!!

I like the shoe but feel like I need a half size smaller. I usually wear a 7.5 but an 8 in a running shoe. The 8 feels too big.

I love these shoes. I ordered a size 10 narrow (I have long narrow feet). I used to buy the Asics GT-2000 series but I can't find ANY that are narrow (so bummed), so shifted to this model and I'm so glad I did. They fit better than the last model I used to buy! Highly recommend for walking or running.

I love these shoes! Most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. I have both plantar fasciitis and bone spurs on the tops of my feet, so finding supportive shoes that won’t compress the nerves on top of my feet has been challenging. These are great. I only had to change the lacing pattern a bit to avoid upper pressure, and they’ve relieved all my plantar fasciitis symptoms, even when I’m on my feet for hours.

These are really comfy I have a big toe nail problem. The nail is almost not attached which makes most shoes uncomfortable when the toe box is too small. These are really great. I can't wear on Cloud or Hoka as they squeeze my foot too much. These are the best.
