... an Asics connoisseur and these Gel-Nimbi are the most comfortable running shoes I’ve purchased in 3 years
I’m an Asics connoisseur and these Gel-Nimbi are the most comfortable running shoes I’ve purchased in 3 years. These replace any number of Asics running shoes I purchased through Amazon in 2015. The quality so far is top not with no messy seams or thread sticking out. These are visually very striking with the hi-tech mesh fabric. I traditionally wear a 10.5-11 Medium shoe and always order my Asics one full size up so these 11.5’s fit perfect. They always do! Now, has Asics fixed their reliability issues? They’ve done away with the multiple sectioned soles (I would always lose the back heel section and had to constantly glue it back on) and now have a one-piece sole that is very conservative compared with Gel-Nimbuses of past. I’m wearing them right now and I don’t want to take them off! 🤪

Good Running Shoe
It fits as expected, but I've been wearing these shoes for years. Like many other reviews mentioned, this version is a little less cushioned than previous versions of the Nimbus. I really enjoyed the lighter weight and less bulky feel. I liked the old cushioned feel because I felt more protected when logging high miles. However, this version makes me feel faster and the shoe is still very comfortable so I don't feel like my body is at a greater risk from running a lot. The shoe has held up very well over the last few months too.

I will order a half size larger next time cause I like a little more wiggle room for my big toe
Just put em on.Go a half size larger with the Numbus 20's! My big toe is close to touching the front of shoe but isn't. I will order a half size larger next time cause I like a little more wiggle room for my big toe. Feel,is like walking on jelly fish,nice n squishy with enough bounce return? This new jacquard mesh material up front feels more durable. I like em right out of the box,good sign. Material around ankle opening and tongue is new,feels more durable. Usually the previous material they used in the surounding ankle area would fall apart after removing,putting on shoe after a month. New shoe laces are alittle springy,have a little stretch. Will be using these for walking at work delivering Fedex Express packages. Less ankle support than kayano, I think, but damn comfy n squishy/springy. Get half size larger!

Good shoes, when I expected GREAT!
This is my second Nimbus, and this is my favorite shoes to use on daily basis. Since I started to use these shoes my pain in the back and knees improved a lot. The impact protection is really effective and the shoe is really comfortable and beautiful.I think that this Nimbus 20 is less resistant than the first one I had, I am using the shoes for 3 months now and the shoelace is already showing some wearing signals. I expected so much from this shoes, it is a good pair of shoes, but I expected it to be GREAT, for the price it costs, o think the cumulus 19 I also bought was better.

Nice Shoes..
I have been wearing Asics for over 8 years now. It is the Only shoe i can wear due to a severe injury to right foot. These are a really nice looking shoes and very comfortable. I don't run use them for walking shoes and have tried every shoe out there. Asics are well made and hold up very well for a shoe I wear as soon as i get up until I go to bed. I cannot walk barefooted. Toe box is fine and not to tight as 3 of my toes and pinned straight and have no problems. Been wearing size 13 and these fit like my 15,16,17,18,19 and so on.

Great Shoe but watch the sizing
I bought a few pairs as they aren't made any more and they are one the few shoes that I can comfortably run in. I had to go up one size as the toe area is tight. I normally wear a 9.5 in the extra wide, but the 10 in the medium size fits really well and took minimal time to break in.

5 year review
I bought these shoes in March of 2018 after an ACL replacement, it was recommended by my physical therapist for proper recovery and training my foot to land properly, not pronated.To this day, these shoes look and feel amazing, and I'm not gentle with them. I've done lots of weekend mechanic work on my vehicles, anywhere from basic maintenance (oil changes and such) to recently a full front end rebuild, and I replaced the front axle on my jeep. I've taken them to the beach, I walk A LOT with them, they're the shoes I beat up. I have the Red and Blue pair, the white is still white sole and still spongy! The tread is worn off the bottom mostly, but I feel like that's to be expected after that long of moderate use. I daily a pair of Red Wing Boots for work.I'm finally laying this pair to rest and ordering a pair of Kayano 29 Lites. Here's to another 5 years!
