Fits great! Softer with a more flexible uppe
Than the last model! Great for my long runs!

Just received the new women Gel Nimbus 21 and was disappointed that the new 21 runs small. I have been wearing size 8-1/2 in the gel nimbus for the last ten years and when I tried the new one on, it is too short so will return and order the same shoe for the next size up.

I struggle to find proper support for my HIIT workouts as my feet overpronate. I bought this shoe in December and though they felt a bit weird at first my feet quickly adjusted and provided great support and have helped ease the pain in my feet so I get more quality workouts. Thank you Asics!!!

i usually buy new balance, but they are always out of my size when i need them, so i decided to try Asics.... OMG! LOVE them! well built, beautiful colors, comfortable and gives me the support i need! i have history of plantar fasciitis, and very flat feet. True to size.i am a nurse on my feet for over 12 hours on a shift, plus enjoy running. i am very happy with purchase and am already planning on buying a trail shoe!

I just bought these and they are so much better than previous models. The toe area is wider and the overall fit feels perfect!

It's a good comfortable shoe. I was an Asics Gel Kayano fan but I find them now to narrow and short. Since I no longer run I looked for a comfortable shoe that might be good for walking. This shoe is soft, but supportive. Being pronate it took a while to adjust to this shoe. I do have orthotics but have chosen to leave the current inserts in. I did order D width ad 1 size larger and they fit great. Since I have heal pain these fill the bill for me.

I like how the website helps you find the correct shoe size based on what you wear in other brands and that worked very well for me. These shoes are generally okay, but they are a little high and rub on my ankles. I just wear them casually (not to run in), so it's tolerable, but I don't see myself working out in these shoes.

I got a lot of compliments for this shoes. However the only issue i had is the arch area. I felt pain after wearing it for long hours. I am guessing it is because i am just breaking into it. Other than that. I absolutely love them.

This shoe actually runs small so I didn't get to wear them so I definitely have to return for a bigger size . All my shoes normally or a 6.5 but I'm going to reorder a 7 .

I didn't find these to be as comfortable as my Nimbus 20. They still provide the support and fit I need.

Comfortable running shoe, but the tie bed is a bit narrow.

This is a good shoe. I have purchased two earlier versions of this shoe. The only issue I'm having with this shoe is the right shoe actually seems a bit bigger than the left. This places the arch support slightly off. I have added an over the counter insert which has corrected the issue. I've never had a problem like this previously.

Great shoes, but fit was too small and had to return.

The one thing that kept me out from giving it 5 stars is that since the 19 model I noticed the top fabric part on the back of the shoe has not the same quality as originally. I have had Nimbus for years after putting 300 miles on them and they were still perfect, no tears and/or holes at all. These new models started tearing after 1 month of average used.

comfortable sneakers but a little higher in the ankles than the other GT-2000 models.

Not as soft as previous version of gel-nimbus. I like the old version better. Still a great pair of running shoes.

I have to order a half size larger because they have narrowed the toe box since I first started wearing years ago. Otherwise I love the shoe. Comfortable and supportive. I do wear an orthotic in mine.

This is my 5th pair of nimbus. I love the gel in the heel and it is only sneaker I can walk in most of a day! Keep making it!

Good shoe, but don't think I would buy again. I bought this shoe in the past and gave the new model another shot. My feet do hurt in this shoes, even with my insoles by about 6 hour mark. I walk everyday. I love the color and have loved the gel nimbus in the past, but I think I need a different model.

They run a little small.
1/2 size up a little big. Replaced original thin insole with a "better" insole now perfect!

Since I use this model I feel very comfortable not only to work out but also for going to the gym.

I always get these because of the wide toe box, but after several months my toe wears a hole in the fabric. I use for walking, so this shouldn't happen. That said, I've decided 6 months max wear time is ok for the comfort level.

Good cushioning - Great shoes get two pairs. Treads wear quicker than I expected - 150-170 miles a month - but my knee feels good (two ACL surgeries ) so I would recommend them

Continued good support however a bit rigid and inflexible so far.
