Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26

Much lighter than the 25 but the same amount of cushion.. nice shoe

Thank you ASICS for being the first and only to make a 13 1/2 Extra Wide shoe. The 14 's were way too large and 13's just a bit short (I have 4 pairs of the 25's in a 13). Amazing shoe.

Shoes are very comfortable. Cushioned for a great running experience while running on the road.

Excellent shoes for road racing. The toe box feels very comfortable. The shoe fabric appears designed to last a long time. The sole feels comfortable and my feet experienced no discomfort transitioning. I would absolutely again.

ASICS produces yet another high quality shoe that seems to hold up in all types of weather and training environments. The GEL-NIMBUS 26 are my go to shoe for my comfortable long runs and efficient track workouts. I would not think of changing to another version of ASICS. Keep up the good production work ASICS!

The most comfortable running shoe I have ever worn!

You got rid of the extreme cushion that I loved so much in the Nimbus 25.

Very stable with the perfect amount of cushion and support.

Sneakers are super comfortable but not true to size, size 9 was quit big and I should have returned but comfy

I love these shoes! Really cushiony and comfortable to run in.

I have been wearing Gel-Nimbus shoes since version 20. They have been comfortable, well constructed and a reliable training partner. With the introduction of version 25, the shoe has undergone a dramatic change. I hesitated to buy the 25, relying on my existing 24s. As the 27s came out, my need for new shoes overwhelmed my resistance and I purchased version 26. I was also very happy that I could get these shoes in wide, as standard ASICS have always been a little tight on my foot. There is a noticeable improvement in cushioning with the 26. I noticed a much improved run with the 26 over previous conventionally designed shoes. They are bigger but they feel great. Perform exceedingly well and the design is now on my definitely buy list.

Thought I was ordering a woman's 7 1/ 2 but it switched on me and I gorlt a mans. Unfortunately didn't realize it until I wore them.

For me this shoe was the most comfortable shoe I have purchase in a long time except for the toe box. That toe box. It makes me so aggravated that this shoe has a wide fit, easy to put on, tons of great cushioning but tapers so hard at the front of the shoe that my pinky toe blisters due to the tight toe box. I really wanted to love this shoe but ultimately I would not buy this shoe again because of that toe box. The only reason I did not score the shoe lower is because everything else about the shoe is really good. So if you have a narrow forefoot, this shoe will be great for you.

Incredibly comfortable shoe. I wear them daily for "everything". I immediately replaced the insoles with better ones, but I do that for all my shoes.

I recently got my hands (or rather, my feet) on the GEL-NIMBUS 26, and I can confidently say this is one of the best running shoes I've ever worn. ASICS has truly outdone themselves with this iteration, refining comfort, cushioning, and overall performance to an entirely new level. Comfort & Fit Right out of the box, the fit is snug yet flexible, providing a secure feel without being too tight. The soft, breathable upper hugs the foot nicely, making long runs feel effortless. I particularly appreciate the stretch-knit collar, which makes slipping the shoe on and off incredibly smooth. Cushioning & Performance The FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole combined with the PureGEL technology creates an ultra-plush, responsive ride. Every step feels soft yet energetic, absorbing impact efficiently while maintaining a smooth transition. Whether on pavement, treadmills, or long-distance road runs, the shock absorption is phenomenal, reducing fatigue even during extended sessions. Stability & Traction The AHAR outsole provides excellent grip and durability, making it reliable on both wet and dry surfaces. The shoe also feels stable without being overly rigid, making it a great choice for neutral runners looking for a supportive yet cushioned ride. Final Thoughts The GEL-NIMBUS 26 is a game-changer for runners who prioritize comfort and cushioning. It's perfect for long-distance training, recovery runs, and even casual wear due to its stylish and sleek design. If you're looking for top-tier shock absorption, supreme comfort, and an overall smooth ride, this shoe is absolutely worth the investment.

The shoes are amazing...they ship through fedex, and fedex is garbage!!! That's why 4 stars!

Amazing feel! When I first tried them on I wasnt quite sure, but after a few miles of breaking the shoes in, they are great! Breathable, and comfortable wear on my longer runs, highly recommended!

Very disappointed with my first pair of Yellow Nimbus 26. Loved everything about them until holes began to develop by the toes just after the 90 when I could return them.

I bought these Gel-Nimbus 26 to have an extra pair of shoes to wear day to day. In the past Ive had a hard time picking out a comfortable pair of shoes that felt good on my feet all day. These gel-nimbus met that requirement. I have been buying Asics gel-nimbus for many years now and they never disappoint.

So far so good. Praying they do not develop holes in the toes like the first pair.

These shoes are simply the most supportive and comfortable runners that I have ever worn. This is my 3rd consecutive pair and they just keep getting better.
