I really, really wanted to love this but they caused me a lot of pain. Initially putting them on, they were extremely comfortable and I liked the feel and style of them. After taking them on a test run, these might be the worst shoes I have ever put on my feet. My calves and feet were killing me after two minutes, and I ended up with pretty bad shin splints for the next week or so.This is partly my fault, these just weren't the shoes for my feet. I have pretty normal arches, but I do overpronate (landing on the outer side of my foot and rolling inwards). Thankfully I was able to return these in store and get fitted for a more appropriate shoe. The associate said these shoes are best for people with neutral feet. Will be ordering the kayanos and will hopefully have ... MoreI really, really wanted to love this but they caused me a lot of pain.

Wore the shoe causally for less than 2 months and, even though the shoe fits fine, developed a hole near the toe. Dick’s advised to return to ASICS. ASICS said it is not a manufacturing defect so warranty does not cover it and they thanked us for our brand loyalty. Never again! Spent $170 of this shoe and it does not last two months and ASICS and Dick’s are fine with that.“ASICS has determined this product is not defective and the damage to the shoe is not a result of, or caused by, the materials used in the manufacturing of the product or an error in the manufacturing process and is a result of normal wear and tear. We appreciate your loyalty to ASICS and thank you for reaching out to us.“

I have been wearing Asics for years. I recently had surgery for Plantar Fasciitis and was having difficulty being on my feet for long hours since the surgery. I have spent so much money on shoes that were recommended to me by the podiatrist that did my surgery, with no relief. I decided I was just going to go back to Asics and I read the reviews from other nurses and a couple of doctors on the website for this particular shoe and made the decision to order them. All I can say is WOW!! So comfortable from day one. So much cushioning and support. If you are looking for a shoe with support, cushioning and style, these are the shoes to get. You won't regret it. The only thing I regret is the hundreds of dollars that I have spent on other brand shoes. Asics have never ... MoreI have been wearing Asics for years.

I have mixed feelings. The cushioning feels fantastic, thanks to the gel material, which provides excellent comfort during walks and training. However, I've encountered a significant issue: the upper part of the shoes burns against my toes, particularly at the front. This discomfort is quite annoying and detracts from the overall experience. I’m not sure maybe that was because it is wide, but I have purchased a standard one. I’ll give it a review once I receive it.On a positive note, the customer service was great, and the delivery was prompt. If they could address the issue with the fit, these shoes would be nearly perfect.
I got my first pair of these gel-nimbus 26 shoes in June and used them for work (minimum of 10k steps per day every day). I did not get a wide, and they fit fine even though I’m a true wide, but I did get holes on the sides where my pinky toes are within 2 months of wear. I decided to order a pair in the same size but in a wide, and I got them today. I opened the box and was kinda confused because they look like a standard width despite the label inside saying wide. I was expecting something noticeably wider, but they feel the same as my normal ones. I really really like these shoes, the cushion is insane, but I don’t know if I can keep buying them every 2-3 months after the holes start. I wish they made these in a different material that was more tough on the top!
I bought these shoes after being fitted at Fleet Feet in February. At first, they seemed great. Despite being on the heavier side, they were very comfortable, and felt like they had decent spring. I wore them for part of my half marathon training and for the race itself. Unfortunately, once I hit about 120 miles of wear, they started giving me blisters. It seems that the cushion in the back of the heal has worn so much that it’s left the fabric loose, which is what’s causing the blisters. I normally get at least 250 miles out of my shoes before I even think about a new pair but already had to buy replacements. I’m very disappointed in the durability. This was my first experience with ASICS running shoes and makes me very hesitant to try the brand again.
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 ... MoreOverall, 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.

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!!!.
The first pair I purchased was from Fleet feet they sized them a size too big as they didn’t have the size I needed in a wide and I was told that was normal protocol after a couple days of wearing them they let my foot slide too much and wore blisters so they happily returned them no questions asked but I must say other than that they were the most comfortable shoes I ever put on my feet. I then went to an ASICS store and was told I would have to order the wides on line which meant I couldn’t try them on first but that if there was an issue after wearing them for a few days I could return them online. Unfortunately that was what I did. After a few days these where definitely nowhere near as comfortable as the first pair which was too big but now I am stuck with a ... MoreThe first pair I purchased was from Fleet feet they sized them a size too big as they didn’t have the size I needed in a wide and I was told that was normal protocol after a couple days of wearing them they let my foot slide too much and wore blisters so they happily returned them no questions asked but I must say other than that they were the most comfortable shoes I ever put on my feet.

Unfortunately that was what I did. After a few days these where definitely nowhere near as comfortable as the first pair which was too big but now I am stuck with a hundred and sixty dollar pair of shoes that I can’t wear as I am a diabetic and they are causing blisters which I can’t have happening but read on the website if they are purchased online they must not be worn to be able to return. I am very disappointed and will not order anymore ever online. I wish I had gone back to fleet feet and let them order them for me. So I guess I won’t be buying anymore
I am a heavier runner, but have run many ultras, marathons, half marathons, etc. I have put in well over 15,000 miles over the years. I tried the Gel Nimbus because I was coming back from an injury that prevented me from running for a year and I needed a good neutral shoe with sufficient cushion. This fits the bill for me. I am a mid-foot striker and the cushion makes landing smooth, even at 225 lbs. I have been weight training exclusively for a year and have put on quite a bit of muscle, so until I get back down to a racing weight these shoes will be my daily runners. They are very breathable. The upper is flexible and molds to the foot well. I can see these being a great middle-long distance shoe for anyone.
I tried on at least 20 shoes. I didn't want to try these on because the last pair I bought with this brand were horrible. I gave the shoes away.So I tried them on and it was the best pair of shoes out of all of them. I couldn't believe it. They are so comfortable, I am on my feet all day long and I desperately needed a pair of good shoes. My feet were hurting daily.My salesman name was Gabriel and he was very patient, kind, thoughtful, extremely helpful and all around wonderful.He deserves praise for all he did for me. Thank you again Gabriel.I was on my way home and I stopped in at the Tanger Outlet in Pooler Ga. It was the best decision I made that day.
