I have been wearing Gel-Nimbus sneakers for the last 18 years. This is the first one that did not work for me. I do not like how the design has evolved. The bottom was too thick, was giving me shin splints. I had to return them. I also am not a fan of the material used for the top of sneaker, it crinkles in an unattractive way.

I bought the same size as last year's model but it feels half a size bigger unfortunately.

Much lighter weight and fabric than previous version. Do not like sole and it feels like it will wear down quickly.

I've worn every Nimbus for the last 20 years, and these are my least favorite, unfortunately. The platform-type sole is really affecting my stride and I find myself tripping, especially on the treadmill. Not sure if this is anybody else's experience, but it is mine.

I appreciate the significant cushioning in the sole, but the rest of the shoe is flimsy and my feet don't feel very secure. I really prefer the earlier versions (2023-ish) of this shoe.

At least a half size too small, maybe even suggest a full size up. Wanted to return them but were over scuffed from a 3 mile run. Bummer because I can tell they would be comfortable if they weren't so off on sizing!

Great cushioning but toe bed is deep and too roomy and my toes rub top when exercising.

Shipping was outrageous & especially ordering direct I would think free shipping would at least be offered at a minimum to orders 100. Size is a bit small as I have always had the same size, there fit tight in length.

Fit and size were quite good .Felt like I was walking on clouds, for real. My issue is the height. The stack is SO TALL. 1: I don’t need more height. 2: I’ll break an ankle if I’m on uneven ground in these skyscrapers. If I were working inside all day and needed shoes, I’d keep them. But for outside/uneven terrain, I can’t see myself not hurting myself. Sadly, returning these.

I ordered the same size. I always wear in ASICS
They were too small. I had to return them and get a half size bigger, which fit me fair, they were actually too big.

I really had hoped that the shoe would live up to the other shoes that I have had in the past, but it is not the same style as the past shoes were it is more clunky, and not quite as comfortable kind of disappointed

This is my second pair of these (just a different color) and they are not as nice as my first pair. Not as "squishy". I work on concrete and these are not working as well as last time. It's almost like they went on sale and lost something along the way. Disappointing

Comfy, but definitely runs small. I'd order a half size up from your normal running shoe.

Very comfortable on solemy feet felt less fatigued after a long run compared to running in the Novablast and Superblast. But, the upper has some weirdness to it that made it less comfortable than I hoped. The toe is a little tight (maybe needs breaking in, I've run about 60 miles in these so far), and the heel tab rubs on the back of the ankle such that I get blisters after a few miles.

I wasn't expecting them to be as cushioned and soft. I use them for long walks. I wouldn't run in them. I like to feel a little more springy.

I've worn these before just in a different color. Felt true to size. I like this shoe (good fit, good cushion) but on this particular pair, the part holding the laces tore off the shoe after only wearing them for 3 workouts. I was planning to buy more since I like them so well for teaching group fitness classes, but the poor quality on this pair made me rethink it.

Having size 11 feet these looked huge on me due to all the cushion. With that being said, they are super comfortable. I could get over the way the looked, but I’m returning them because I feel my ankles would roll easily during a workout.

I have 2 other pairs of this model bought within the last 6 months. The grey pair with the purple sole was not the same and caused immediate pain in my right foot so I have to send them back.

I was a fan of the 22s, didn't like the 23/24s. These are ... ok? Definitely heavier, cushioning is good - but holy hell they are uncomfortably warm. Which might be great for 30* - but 52* today wasn't the magic temperature.

I love the nimbus 25 but the all black, top and sole run short. I purchased another color combination plus I already have another color and they fit perfect. Yes,I ordered a half size up from my regular shoe size. I ordered a second pair, thought, maybe it was just that shoe but sorry, Zappos, had to return both, too snug.

These shoes are a bit disappointing. There is no real support for feet, knees, back. Placing my Superfeet insoles made it a little better but not great. Not much structure, just fluffy soles.
