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.

I have only recently purchased this and gone for 2 shorter runs. Slight pain on bottom of feet when I run which is surprising given I was running with Nimbus 25, I am hoping it goes away with more running. What I am really disappointed about is the length of the shoe lace, they are very short and shorter than nimbus 25 (which was a good length). As sponsors of Sydney marathon, I would have thought that Asics would design shoes for more serious runners and I find short shoe laces can result in laces becoming undone in running events. I am really unhappy with this, especially for the price. Very difficult to answer the question 'would you recommend this product to a friend.' I previously did with nimbus 25, now I would mention the short shoe laces on the Nimbus 26.

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 ...Ā MoreI have been wearing Asics for years.

I have found these shoes improve my arch pain when running and I am very happy with that as it was the reason for me to look for new shoes.I deducted one star due to a major design floor. The heel tab and heel collar where the ankle leaves the shoe is gaping open, not only is it gaping open there is actually a flap of material there that appears to serve no purpose but aesthetic. This is detrimental as it quite literally funnels debris straight into the shoe. I run in a generally sandy/dusty location where I live and it has become a nightmare, tipping literally a teaspoon worth of sand out of my shoes after a run. I have never experienced this in my whole life and I am truly annoyed by it. I have had to purchase big puffy socks to fill the funnel type opening as ...Ā MoreI have found these shoes improve my arch pain when running and I am very happy with that as it was the reason for me to look for new shoes.I deducted one star due to a major design floor.

I have had to purchase big puffy socks to fill the funnel type opening as much as possible (which barely works but has improved a small amount).If I didn't notice and improvement in my arch pain I would not recommend these shoes at all.
I got this shoe to use as a daily cushioned shoe. Works amazingly for those easy recovery runs and easy long runs (definitely not a fast shoe for intervals or fartlek, in that case I would recommend Novablast 4).However, something to have in mind is that it is a firm cushion, not a soft one.I am a neutral runner so I do not need a supportive shoe, but surprisingly for being a neutral shoe, it is really stable.It has an 8mm drop and, personally as a heel striker, it is perfect for me as it feels so comfortable.The entire upper is soft and the tongue is stretchy, so I had no issues with rubbing and Iāve already done 80km on them.To sum up, if you are a neutral runner and heel striker looking for a cushioned and stable shoe for your easy runs (but not cushion ...Ā MoreI got this shoe to use as a daily cushioned shoe.

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 itās left the fabric loose, which is whatās 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. Iām 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 26ās are incredibly comfortable and I feel even faster in them without sacrificing the comfort of a more supportive shoe. Did a 15 miler along Bostonās Heartbreak Hills two days ago in the Nimbus-26. PHENOMENAL SHOE! Will be ordering another pair as soon as I ...Ā 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 wonāt 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 didnāt 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 couldnāt 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 ...Ā MoreThe first pair I purchased was from Fleet feet they sized them a size too big as they didnāt 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 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 wonāt be buying anymore
The ārunning forever feelingā shoeFirst thing that caught my eye on this shoe was the stunning, summery colour that it came on. I was also very impressed when I held them for the first time, and as bulky as they initially looked, they were super light! To carry on with my initial impressions, I didnāt want to believe that they could be any comfier or softer than the previous model, and to my surprise, they really were. After running around 60km with them, I have found a few major changes to this shoe in comparison to the Gel-Nimbus 25, although overall theyāre very similar.As a neutral shoe, aimed for longer jogs, the Nimbus 26 pretty much guarantees max cushioning and comfort for miles on end, whilst keeping the bouncy and comfort.

After running around 60km with them, I have found a few major changes to this shoe in comparison to the Gel-Nimbus 25, although overall theyāre very similar.As a neutral shoe, aimed for longer jogs, the Nimbus 26 pretty much guarantees max cushioning and comfort for miles on end, whilst keeping the bouncy and comfort. With both shoes having the Pure Gel in the heel area, thereās plenty of comfort in the heel and a super enjoyable landing for anyone running with a more heel pronounce technique. The upper mesh and knit tongue is an absolute highlight of this shoe, and I am very glad they kept using this feature; it provides comfort whilst still allowing breathability.The addition of rubber to the outsole seems to be adding durability and grip, with a very minimal weight gain. The most noticeable change is that the bottom of the lace throat loses the āWā shape and is now a āV,ā the lacing system gets more built up with wider straps over the arch. I find this extremely helpful as my ankles tend to become unstable after a few hours running, and so this new, simple feature has been really welcomed. The most significant changes are the firmer midsole, helping them become considerably more responsive than the Nimbus 25, but also keeping a very similar soft feeling.Apart from those improvements, overall, itās a very similar shoe form the Gel-Nimbus 25, and if you enjoyed the previous model, you will certainly enjoy this one. It really feels good to run in and itās a much more firm shoe and definitely up there as one of my top pics for longer runs.
