Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

I am a foot and ankle surgeon and am very in tune with shoe design. ASICS did a great job redesigning this shoe. The 8mm heel drop and cloud cushioning makes this a top shoe on the market not only for runners but for anyone on their feet a lot or with foot problems. This is especially great for plantar fasciitis. I have previously recommended only HOKA shoes to my patients for these reasons and now ASICS has a great shoe for all foot pathology. Easy to accommodate orthotics and great design. I now recommend this shoe to all my patients

I really love this line and the 25/26 have really elevated the shoe. For the 26, they improved traction which was sorely needed from the 25. They also improved the breathability of the upper. The only glaring issue is the tag on the tongue. It has rough edges and if you don't have the right socks to protect you, it can get really uncomfortable quickly. If they removed that or changed it to something more comfortable, it would literally be one of the most perfect shoes ever. Hoping the 27 can fix that. Also, if you see any reviews saying that this shoe if slightly firmer than the 25 I personally don't see it. What I think is happening, is that people are remembering the last time they wore their 25 that's already been broken in and then they get a fresh 25 that hasn't been broken in yet. I can assure you after a few wears the 26 is just as soft as the 25. Don't let that discourage you and the traction is probably the best part of this update.

These are, hands down, the best athletic shoes I've ever owned. I'm a nurse and I spend a lot of time on my feet. When I slip on these beauties, I feel like I'm walking on a cloud. Since I overpronate and I have wide feet, both the size 10 women's wide and size 8.5 men's standard width are perfect for me, my feet, and my needs.

Comfortable shoe with a lot of plush cushioning. The wide size fits my foot perfectly. A little heavy but great for plodding out those long miles. Great training shoe.

The 25 are much more comfortable, the 26 are kind of rough

Tongue and heel tab caused abrasions on my ankle. The shoe felt flat in comparison to the Nimbus 25. I returned this and would not recommend

Horrible clunky shoes, felt exhausted on my regular run.

I purchased these with the intention to become my new running shoes. There is a loop near the heal that creates sever discomfort and blisters throughout your runs. No matter if you wear thick socks and band aids. I've never had to leave a bad review on a product in my life until I came across these shoes.. they are that bad

Sizing is unreliabledefinitely try before you buy. Lifelong ASICS runner here, but feeling like I need to switch to something I can buy knowing it will fit consistently iover time..

Very comfortable shoe The most comfortable shoe I've owned

Wow! Impressed! You should buy these now! Best running shoes I ever had, and I tried all the top max cushion shoes from all the major brands. These are the best! Love them, so happy!

Excellent cushioning. I've been running in them daily for the last month and enjoyed every mile.

Extremely comfortable and sturdy for both running and working on your feet all day

I work as a nurse practitioner. I am on my feet all day. I have probably a dozen pairs of ASICS, but these are the most comfortable. Also, a very stylish design, and I have received more compliments on this model than I have any other pair of shoes ever.

Gel-Nimbus 26 is an incredible running shoe. Good heel to toe balance. No tripping while transferring from road to side walk. Very comfortable. I'm noticing less "post-run pain" and I attribute that to the shoes. They make running fun again.

Another great result. The comfort and dependability are still there. I use this as my running shoe and I love it!

Awesome shoes! I'm a heel striker when I run. These shoes are perfect for me. They are way better than Hokas. Light, comfy, and absorb impact with every step.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Great running and training shoe.

Fit my foot right out of the box. I ran a 5k PR without having to break them in.

Provides all day comfort day after day. Soft and stable with an amazing feel with each step. The regular width is sufficient to give me plenty of room in the middle of my feet where other brands don't. I rotate this shoe with the Nimbus 25 which is super soft.

one of the best cushioned shoes out there along with Sucony 21
