I've been a long time Asics Nimbus user going back to the Asics Nimbus 12. Asics had made changes and I had noticed sizing issues with the last four versions (19-22). They were narrower and I had to go up a half size. The last version -22 it seemed I had some quick wearing out issues. Asics addressed my issues and I am pleased to now report on the 23's. The sizing is back! I am in my original size (10.5) and the area in the toe box has improved and not as narrow as the past four versions. The overall cushion of the shoes seems to be improved as well. I am optimistic that they have listened to their loyal customers and gone back to what is tried and true. I like the 23's and have since bought a second pair to rotate my shoes. I've only put on about 30 miles at this point so an early review. Happy running!

Toe box is too small. This is the only pair of gel nimbus I had to return. I wear a 4e and it fits like 2e

Unlike most other running shoes I've worn, the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 23 does not jamb my Morton's toe. Thanks ASICS!
This shoe is slightly better fit for my narrow heels and I love the light weight!

Very comfortable. Excellent support. The all black style allows me to wear these at times when I would need a more dress up type of shoe.

I switched over from Brooks Ghost and adidas. These are not my favorite looking sneaker but the comfort is levels ahead. Logo is a little loud for my taste but my feet thank me every time I wear them.

This is the most comfortable pair of sneakers I've owned. It feels like you're walking on a cloud. I just wish they weren't so ugly. There are several variants, all but one look like clown shoes. If manufacturers want to make idiotic colors, fine, just make one or two conventional shades for those of us whop don't want to be mistaken for Emmett Kelly.

I have long skinny feet and these fit perfectly. I will warn you though, as I have trouble being a 13 1/2" True Size with regular width because based on brand and style, usually I end up returning the first pair because they may-or-may not fit right. Exact situation here...I ordered 13 1/2" regular width but they were Too True To Size! When I ordered the second pair, I ordered 14-EE and they fit perfect. Usually an EE will be too wide, and 14 may be too big. I still gave all stars on the review though being that just because your foot is exactly 13 1/2", the shoe sometimes is Too Perfect! Anyways, these shoes are Awesome, I walk alot and they are very commfy with great moderate support. I recommend ordering 1/2" size bigger and 1 step up on the width! Even at that they are somewhat tight at first, but loosen up your laces and wear them in for a bit.

These shoes are Asics best shoe since the Nimbus 21. I like them much better then the Nimbus 22's. They are extremely comfortable. The design is great. The texture is much better then the 22's. I recommend with five stars.

Very comfortable and provides great support. My husband has several pairs of the Gel Nimbus 22 and finds the 23 to be even more comfortable.

Think carefully if you plan to use these shoes indoors on a treadmill. The outsole material, especially the Thunder Blue color, shreds easily and leaves a sticky colorful residue on treadmill belts and hard floors.

The moroccan blue color is fantastic absolutley love that, i have been wearing the nimbus 21-22 and the fit of the 23s is a bit different. they are more cushioned, and wider than the previous nimbus models that i have worn. with that said, the 23's are incredibly comfortable, and feel great on my feet, i walk 4-6 miles daily in them. If i was still running i could go many miles in them. Great sneaker

Love the look, the comfort, and most importantly the cushioning, I just ran the LA MARATHON in these and felt great the whole race!! Buy them!

Apparently, my shin splints, pain on the balls of my feet and outer feet, and the pain in muscle on the outside of my calf can all be attributed to under pronation or supination. These shoes have really helped with the problems. I am very happy with them!

The fit is just as expected; these are consistently the most comfortable wide-width running shoes for me. I especially like the better-cushioned soles on the 23 - they are a big improvement over prior versions.

Unbelievably comfortable. I always stick with the Gel Nimbus (why try to fix what isn't broken?!). It is the maximum cushioning I am after, and these running shoes are 5-stars. I really like the arch support as well. I ordered the Digital Grape/Black which is a lively and fun color combination.

All has been good up until today! Just discovered a Hole in the Top of the shoe :-( I wear them 3 days or so a week for a few months and now they are trash which makes me very sad.

Very comfortable shoes though they run .5 size small. Getting the 2e in the Nimbus 23 can also help with sizing.
They provide excellent support to the feet. Has allowed me to resume both my HIIT as well as 3-5 mile daily hikes. Would definitely recommend this to folks with plantar fasciitis based on my experience.

I had tried a few other running shoes that never felt right for longer distances. Once I put these on, they were perfect for me and are now my go to shoes. They are comfortable, have plenty of cushion and support, and hold up well with the mileage I'm running. I love the color of these and hope that Asics will continue to expand the wild color schemes (which I prefer). Great shoe overall and the Customer support has been awesome when needed!

The width was fine, but the shoe was a little too long. I would give 5 stars but it took a full week to get my shoes and they were too big. I used to like Zappos, but at this point I would be better off going to a retail store.

I decided to purchase the Gel-Nimbus 23 because I was looking for a soft / cushy shoe, and practically every review I read raved about them. Well, my experience is totally different. I find these shoes to be so uncomfortable, that every time I wear them, my feet are killing me! It's like I can feel underneath the insole on the bottom of my feet.

We have been wearing ASICS for years and find that they run true to size. I am a walker light jogger and the cushion and support keeps my knees in healthy condition. We recommend ASICS and for my foot type the gel-nimbus 23 works great.
