I wish I could return these. The first week I was fine but the next week I noticed my second toe hurting so much through my workouts. Yes I have the issue where my second toe is longer than my big toe. I can't wear these without my toe hurting and it becomes unbearable. Besides that part the cushioning is really nice.

I wanted to love these shoes. They feel very cushioned and bouncy. I chose them because Asics suggested they might be good for those with a high instep. However, the toe box is definitely lower, narrower than Asics used to be. My toes begin to go numb after wearing them for a while.

I buy shoes every month they are all size 9 1/2. This shoe is so small and so narrow, not sure who marked this size but it is very wrong. I was sorely disappointed in this shoe.

Been buying ASICS since the 15 shoe. Usually Gel Nimbus & since the 20 version been in a 91/2 women's. So heard so much about the cushion thought I'd try the 23 after receiving the 22's which were ok fit wise but not as much padding as the 20's. Tried on in store 1st. Shoe at Dick's was well padded & fit well but when the shoe came from ASICS.. was noticibly longer.. narrower & with less padding. The bottom cushion was good but had to return.. disappointed. Apparently the black 22's are made in Vietnam & this shoe is made in Indonesia. Now their making shoes in Japan. Never know how the fit will be anymore! Sad!

Comfortable shoes. Look nice. The arch for my high instep was not as arched as I thought it would be.

Squeaks terrible if you walk into a store and the shoes are wet on the bottom. Also squeaks if you put insoles in them.

These are super padded so I should have gone a half size larger. Felt like the toe box was a bit narrower than my last ASICS as well. I’m returning them to get a 1/2 size bigger. Hopefully that will solve the issues as I liked the comfort and look of the show minus being a bit small.

I am an ASICS fan and have been running in Gel-Nimbus for awhile. I loved the Nimbus 22 version. I feel that the new version has a more narrow toe box. My feet hurt in this shoe. Super bummed.

Good cushioning, but this shoe was so tight that I took it off right after I walked one lap around my house. I used to love the Nimbus, but it hasn't been good since Nimbus-17. I don't know why it seems to be getting smaller, so narrow & doesn't fit like the Cumulus, Quantum 360, Quantum 180 or others that I've tried.

It's a very nice shoe the color is amazing and the style is on par,however it runs so small im not even willing to wear them. I bought a half size bigger but it caused blisters from being too narrow my toes hit the front of the shoe and yet it still slipped up and down my heel. I'm so disappointed!

I had to return my first pair because it wasn't as big as my other pairs. So I would suggest going up at least a full size if you are a runner. I find myself having to stop and adjust these a lot on runs. They are pretty narrow.

Toe box is very narrow. Was not expecting that because the cummulus pair fits well. But can't return so I'm stuck with them.

I bought these shoes only a month ago and the tread is peeling away from the sole in 3 different places already. I don't wear these shoes on outdoor trails; only on pavement and indoor gyms. Extremely disappointing.

The pink shoes look cute. However these are too narrow for me I get uncomfortable to run in these. I got regular width. Make sure to get wide version if you have wide feet

I was very disappointed with this version on Nimbus. I have been wearing Nimbus running shoes for years. I push off the ball of my foot and the forefoot in prior versions of Nimbus had significant cushion that I loved. Gel-Nimbus 23 has no padding in the forefoot and I can't wear them. I just threw the in my closest. So disappointed and now looking for a new running shoes.

I got one good pair of these, ordered about about a year ago and they are starting to wear out with rips and tears. I have ordered and sent back no less than five pairs of these shoes, same size for inconsistencies. This pair I will keep but they are narrow and uncomfortable. I have never worn a wide shoe before so not sure whats going on with these shoes.

I bought a pair of this shoe and ran in it. Two days later I had a foot injury that hasn't healed for three weeks now. I compared this to my other running shoe - Asics GT-2000 8 - and noticed that the width is narrower and the body is also slightly smaller with more padding.

I got a size 9 and should have sized up to a 10 because it fits small. I wore them to work so now I spent money on something that I can never wear. The shoes fit more like 8 1/2.

I've worn the gel nimbus for many, many years. I have never had a problem with them until this model. They fit snugger than the others, it feels like the arch is off which is causing pain. Where with model 22 and below, I could wear them all day with no problem. With the 23's, I barely get an hour out of them before my feet start aching. I would not recommend the 23's.

Ascics quality is not what it use to be. I have worn them for years (two pair/year)and have been disappointed the last couple of years. They wear out faster, they aren't as wide or as long as they use to be. I wear nimbus running shoes and the last pair I liked were the nimbus 20. Prior to that I wore the GT series which I loved. I sadly no longer buy Ascics.
