Sapphire color is beautiful. Fit, comfort and ease of putting on the shoes all mak contribute to being one of my favorite pairs of shoes now. Nimbus/26 features are amazing - to the point where I wear them all day and hate taking them off. They encourage walking with their comfort and "rocking" base. Highly recommend.

These shoes are very comfortable. Working as a Respiratory Therapist you're on your feet all day and you need shoes that are comfortable and lightweight!!!! These shoes are it for me

These shoes feel really good on your feet. My feet were sore wearing another brand and they no longer hurt since I started wearing these.

Love these shoes but as an FYI the red shoes are not even close to red they are actually a safety orange. I bought mine to wear at work but I am not able to wear them there because they are way off in color. These shoes are the best if you work on your feet all day! So comfy and eliminated foot pain from that hard floor.

These are the best feel for my plantar fasciitis. I'm on my feet all day long and my feet don't hurt.

The first pair i ordered were 9 W. They were a little big but felt so good i kept them. The second pair were 8.5 W and are perfect. I have arthritis and have had many surgeries on my feet and these shoes are the only shoes i can wear and not have any pain. I love them.

Admittedly a Gel-Nimbus fan, this is a good shoe. I wasn't thrilled with 24 & 25 but I love the 26. Perfect cushioning for the long run.

Overall, I am a complete convert to ASICS! 55 yo marathon runner who just ran her 18th marathon at Disney World (Dopey Challenge) in the Nimbus 25 after wearing Hokas for years. ASICS Nimbus are the superior shoe. They are not clunky at all and I feel faster when I run in them. I al also a physician and I wear them for overnight shifts. My feet feel fantastic in this shoes. The Nimbus-26 are an improvement from the Nimbus-25. Same amazing support without the pillowy, slightly bouncy feel of the Nimbus-25. The 26's are incredibly comfortable and I feel even faster in them without sacrificing the comfort of a more supportive shoe. Did a 15 miler along Boston's Heartbreak Hills two days ago in the Nimbus-26. PHENOMENAL SHOE! Will be ordering another pair as soon as I finish typing this review! I hope ASICS will over more colors in the ASICS Nimbus Wide 26. I have broad metatarsals but an otherwise slender foot. The Nimbus -26 wide is an improvement from the Nimbus-25 wide. Plenty of room across my metatarsals without looking bullky. In summary I highly recommend the ASICS Nimbus 26 for distance runners and for all healthcare workers who work long shifts. You won't think about your feet at all! They are truly amazing and a substantial improvement from the 25! Thank you ASICS!!!.

The shoes get even come. The more you wear them. I stand on my feet for most of the day for my job in these shoes. Keep me comfortable and going. I love them and I definitely recommend them to everyone.

These are my favorite! I have plantar fasciitis and had tried out the 25s, and they were like walking on clouds. A game changer for me! I was a little worried that the 26s seemed a little less cushiony when I first put them on, but they've broken in a little bit and the cushion is nice and supportive on my arches. I will say that the only gripe I have about these shoes is that the heel kicks up dirt and bits of leaves into my socks/shoes. It is the WEIRDEST thing, and I always have to take my socks off outside after a walk around the neighborhood because of all the dirt collected around my ankles. I don't know how to engineer a solution for future versions without changing the heel shape, but it's a minor annoyance that I happily put up with because my feet are much happier in these shoes!

The most comfortable shoes I own. This is my 3rd pair of ASICS and I love them. I previously wore the 25 which are also very comfortable.

Favorite distance running shoe ever in 24 year career. The gel cushioning is phenomenal upon landing and yet responsive upon push off. I wish you offered women's wide in more colors. Love the trend for the sole color to match the upper color i.e., black on black, red on red, etc.

Love them once I put dr scholls RUN INSERTS in. I felt unbalanced due to the higher spongier base. But once I adjusted I was in love.

As a nurse, I can say that my Nimbus 26 helps me to be able to work all of my shifts. They are so comfortable and a lot better than other brands. Get it! They are the best.

Finally! A shoe that fits normal feet. I've had to buy wides for years due to shoe companies making shoes like Nike (ie shoes for narrow girl feet, rather than foot shaped feet). I can buy a normal width and finally have a color choice of something other than black and white! Way to go ASICS! I love the fit of this better than the 25 over all as well. The tongue is amazing, please never change this. Cushioning feels the same to me, still very soft and pillowy. I wear for 12 hour shifts on hard hospital floors.

Super comfortable, great cushion and my usual size fits like a glove. I didn't like the 25 but the 26 is great!

I have been a nurse for 47 years my feet hurt all the time, the pain limits me from enjoying playing tennis and racquetball. This is the first pair of athletic shoe that is a pleasure to wear and has sincerely improved the quality of my life. Thank You!

These shoes are sort of hard to put on- the tongue gets in the way even when loosened and my heel squishes down the back of the shoe. Once they're on, they are very comfortable.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, Clark, Merrill, Naot
