Had to return this shoe because of the elastic across the top of the foot. I cannot get my foot into the shoe without a struggle. Awful. They must be for people who don't wear socks in their running shoes. You really don't need laces because the elastic is so tight. Really like the knit material and the color. Feel nice and cushioned like all nimbus shoes if you could get them on.

Had to return because the elastic at top of where the shoes lace up is so tight I couldn't get my foot into the shoe. I would think a wide would help but the medium width is impossible to squeeze into. My socks bunched up too. Maybe this shoe is made to be worn with no socks? Really liked the knit fabric and color of the black one.

Don’t know why these shoes have bad reviews. I’m a nurse working long hours on my feet. I give them an A+. I have both these shoes amd new balance fresh foam. I find the fabric thicker and more durable. They are very light weight and breathable. They do fit snug on your foot. But are very stretchy. If your don’t like that feel don’t buy them.

These shoes are a menace!!! I’ve ordered ASICS Nimbus every 4-5 months for decades. They are eating my Achilles and rubbed them raw. The toe box and width is fine but the straps around the angles and lacing structure are THE WORST.

The elastic around the ankle can be irritating and almost caused a blister. The shoe itself is comfortable, just not the ankle elastic

if you have plantar fasciitis and skinny heels these are the shoes for you! I see why these shoes have so many bad reviews. They have a slight protruding cushion around the heel. My feet are thin and have always had difficulty with shoes rubbing the back of my heels. I’m a nurse working long hours. I find them very comfortable.

So excited to wear them, I put them on immediately before walking the dogs. The back knitting just rubbed my Achilles raw within minutes. My partner wore longer, thick socks after I warned him and also dug into his Achilles. Returning both pairs.

This knit shoe is a slip on type, but comfortable!

At first I didn't like the shoes because of the slip on style but now I do.

I have plantar fascititis and heel spurs and my feet always hurt after standing for 10 hours a day. NOT since I made the investment in these shoes! Love them. I feel like I am walking on clouds.

Love the fit of this shoe. I have a very narrow ankle and this is the first shoe in my life that doesn't slip off the back of my foot. This new tongueless design is amazing.

Great cushion, very comfortable. I was worried the 23's didn't feel as good as the 22's but they are actually better. The knit around the ankle bothered me the first day but not after that.

I've been a long time Asics customer. This shoe gave me the most comfort and best support of any that I've ever had. I will definitely purchase again.

This is my second pair, I wore my old ones out! I like the tight feeling they provide along with the ease of slip on. I would not call myself a serious runner, but these perform for my needs and are now my go to.

Put it on and it fit like a glove. I have a narrow heel and it is hard to find shoes where my heel doesn't slide or rub blisters. My feet are thankful for the Gel-Nimbus 23. My heel feels secure, the footbed cushion feels airy, light, and substantial for exercise that may incur some pounding - aerobics, running etc. Also, it has some stretch at the top, so I can pull my foot into the shoe without having to untie it. This is my fourth pair of Asics and they always seem to fit.

Great pair of walking shoes. I always buy ASICS and I find these the most comfortable. I wear a size 8 in street shoes but buy 9 in athletic shoes. I like the tongue on these. Makes them easier to put on.
