I have a wide foot and it was too small in the width of the shoe. Asics changed how their shoes fit.

Feels light and cushiony, very cushiony. Like walking on a cloud.

Very comfortable with one exception. I would prefer a padded tongue. Like the colors available in wide. Love the wider toe box.

Most comfortable shoes working in the hospital. My feet feels so good even after a long day at work.

The Nimbus 27 feels like it lacks the cushioning and stability of the Nimbus 25 and 26. Arch support feels less than medium.

Prefer last year's Asics models.

Shoes are very comfortable.
Problem is the sole squeaks loadly on smooth surfaces. Can’t wear in many situations.
Great outdoors.

I've been running in Nimbus shoes since 2010. Over the years I've moved from size 12 to size 13 as Asics tweaked shoes from time to time and have always enjoyed the cushioning and width - I wear 4E extra wide. Recently purchased the Nimbus 27, very pleased!!

I finally reached the age where comfort and quality were the primary attributes I was looking for Ina new pair of shoes. I did quite a bit of research and ended up with the Gel Nimbus 27's. Hands down they are the best shoes I've ever owned. I tend to be brand loyal, and I think I will be buying these for years to come. I feel they are worth what I paid for sure.

Comfortable but they are like sponges. My feet always get wet while running, even when I avoid puddles

Very comfortable, the gel insoles are very soft. Great for walking, too soft for me to run in, but I still like these shoes overall.

I was so excited to receive my new pair but I ended up very disappointed. The midsole is much stiffer than the previous version and the upper is also made from a much stiffer material. Overall a major letdown. If I could return them for the previous model I would!!!

Lightweight, perfect fit, and I don't even notice I'm wearing them. I've been wearing Gel-Nimbus since version 12.

Love them! Very comfortable! Use them primarily for training and at work at a school. No achy feet at the end of the day.

Love the shoe, you continue to improve on the Gel Nimbus line. Extremely disappointed that you only offer two colors in extra-wide. I bought the black, the other not very appealing. Will you be adding colors.

I have been buying GEL Nimbus since Edition 23 and have loved every moment of it until I got this year's Nimbus 27. By far not as comfortable as previous years and for whatever reason they changed the pattern of the Soul so no matter where I walk on tile or wood floors I have to hear tiny little suction cups Wherever I Go. It's the most annoying sound in the world and quite embarrassing at that. Not at all what I was expecting from a nimbus. I can't believe nobody has pointed this out. I wanted to return them but I couldn't find a nimbus 26 in my size so I was stuck with these. Not worth the full price I paid for at all

Great shoe Ive had every nimbus almost since the beginning of nimbuss first . This new version however I have a popping sound from the heel strike
I run every morning only do 3 miles maybe have 100 miles on them. Other than that I hope they hold up at least to 300 -400 miles without exploding

I love the Numbus shoe. I get the new version every year. This year's version is really similar in that the comfort and support is 2nd to none. The only difference with this year is the sole is just enormous and bulky. I travel a lot for work with a carry on size suitcase and it just takes up way more space than ever before. Still the wonderful Nimbus shoe but just seem more and more like moon shoes to me

Not loving this one as much. I have purchased this shoe every iteration for about 10-12 years. The foam on the interior seems to be too giving. I have had them for less than a month and I can feel the frame of the shoe on my big toes as I run now. Its pretty uncomfortable. Ill likely be moving onto something new unfortunately.

I love plush, super thicc shoes and the Gel Nimbus 27s dont disappoint. Im a 9 minute pace guy that puts about 20-30 miles a week in with a few 100 mile races here and there and these shoes are just pure gold. I put about 600 miles on the 26s with most being on the road and they held up better than any shoe Ive had to date; the best part, they still had that pillow bounce till the end. The 27s have been better than expected and Ill be looking to get a new pair soon.

Attempted to buy, discount code would not work. ASICS did not care and ignored both my requests for assistance. Would not recommend. Hoka is responsive and cares about their customers.
