Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 24

I returned these because the heel was too large. Also, the area around the tongue was not sewn well - it was actually starting to ravel - perhaps a fluke? Sorry I had to return them.

These fit true to size, and are reasonably attractive for a super-cushioned (aka clunky) running shoe, but the stitched down (I think maybe this is called "gusseted") tongue was not only permanently fastened down but made of a very stretchy material that made the top of the shoe extremely snug fitting and I felt like I was wearing a compression sleeve over my instep. The collar is also super padded, and because of these features the shoes were not easy to slip into. I could also imagine that on a warm day or a long run this feature would make the shoe uncomfortably hot. I usually wear Asics Contend, a much lower profile and lower end running shoe, so maybe my disappointment with these Nimbuses was due to that. FYI I had been looking for more cushioning, hence the switch, and after much trial and error ended up choosing the Hoka Clifton, which seems to provide similar cushioning to the Nimbus but with a lower, less intrusive profile, and a lower price:-)

The color was more grey, then black. Returning for this reason.

I normally wear 10.5 standard or 10W. I tried 10.5 wide and it was tight. This was not my style and I did not like walking in them inside. I tried. I am waiting for my kayano 28 to try. Since I have a very little arch, I am thinking kayano might be better fit for the mechanics of my foot. Don't ask me, I am just learning this stuff. But no to nimbus 24.

Fit and size are fine. Shoes were previously worn and it shows they were. I paid for brand new shoes, not previously worn shoes. The way they are made like a little boat when you walk you can easily trip

These were disappointing. The center treads wore out super quick. The different tongue style took some getting used to but I didn't mind the design.

These were very well cushioned in the sole but the toe box was way too narrow. I have very small feet and can wear a 5 or 5.5 US size with some shoes. I got a 6 US with these and they really did a number on my toes. The toe box is way too small. Ouch!

The tongue is made of stretchy knit and provides no stabilization or support. Not what I am used to for ASICS ?. I’ve worn them for ever… not anymore. I returned these.

The fit is disappointing. They are the right size but just don't feel as comfortable as my previous Asics gel nimbus which I have been buying for years. My previous gel nimbus 23's are more comfortable than the new 24's. The 24's feel more glove like which is too encompassing of my foot. Please return to the old style!! No complaints about Zappos. You are always quick to send out shoes and returns are easy.

I’ve never had a problem with running shoes before, but these have just been the worst. I’m normally a true size 6 and have never had to size up - if anything, I run a little small. My toes touch the front of the shoe and the top is so tight, even when I tie the laces as loosely as possible, that my feet go numb. Never had a pair of shoes, running or otherwise, where the sizing was so off. I won’t be ordering ASICS again of any style, but would definitely recommend that others size up at least half a size. Going back to Brooks.

The arch area on this shoe was all wrinkly. It clearly had no arch support for me. I have a fairly high arch, so clearly this was not the shoe for me. I returned them.
