Not for me awful shoes

Buyer beware!

11 months ago

This has to be the worst design shoe I have ever owned. I don’t know if they got a new designer or what they did, but it just doesn’t work. This has to be the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever owned. It has caused me to have blisters on my ankles because of the poor design literally collects sand on my ankle. I end up with little collection of hills on my ankle and I have tried different socks and it doesn’t matter what I do. The design collects the sand. I’ve never had so much sand from a shoe like this shoe if you’re into collecting sand…this is the shoe for you! I have to come home and empty out my shoe every usage.

Great fit but poor quality only worn a few times

6 months ago

I have only worn mine a few times and the heels have already started wearing through and there’s wire and plastic poking through which is very painful! I am very disappointed in this version of the Nimbus. It almost seems that they are compromising quality but yet their price. I buy this because it’s good for high arches and they have a wide toolbox and a narrow heel but unfortunately the quality is really gone downhill this year!

Great cushion, tight instep and loose toes!

1 year ago

I wanted to surprise my wife with the latest Nimbus 26 for her workdays. She loved the color, and when she started using them, she noticed that the shoe had a great cushion, but instep was very tight and the toolbox was wider so her toes were loose. She also has a Kayano 30, as she never had any issues, she prefers to use those instead. Hopefully, they can redesign the Nimbus on the instep and toebox.

Not What I Expected

6 months ago

I was diagnosed with plantar faciiatis in December and bought the Gel-Nimbus 26 on informed recommendation. They did not help at all. The cushioning makes the sneakers huge, stiff, and clunky. The design added more strain to my foot. I love the light green color but not the shoe and wish I had returned them. Fortunately, I also bought the Gel-Nimbus 25 which is a far superior choice for my foot.

MID

1 year ago

These feel great when running, they are comfy n supportive but the problem that i had was that they are not durable at all i got these for track and one month in they already had a hole on my toe and no my nails arent long because i hate having long nails. The other problem was that the side part of the sole was coming apart/off.

a little disappointing

1 year ago

The sneakers are good, but they have a label on the inside that hurts the foot, quite uncomfortable. After 1 month of use it left marks on my foot.

Holes …

7 months ago

I only run with the Gel Nimbus and buy the new model every year. This one did not even lasted 4 months (with no intense training) as I got holes on both of the shoes. The shop where I bought them offered to take them back and give me new ones. I got the same holes not even 3 months later. This had never happened with the former models…

Great walking shoe but wear causes hole on top

7 months ago

I have worn the Nimbus model for years and I love the soft support for my flat foot and daily walks. What I am not happy with is that I've been wearing this new shoe for about 3 weeks and I already have a hole in the top of the left shoe where my big toe sits. This always happens eventually, just never this early in wear.

Pilling sole

6 months ago

I love these shoes! They are true to size and have a good toe box. Ive worn gel-nimbus for years and they’ve never let me down. They have an excellent grip and rebound. But with this model after just a few wears the foam of the sole is pilling.

Yes , I recommend this product
