I innovated that shoe
2 months ago
I bought Nimbus 27 in a store almost a month ago on april 25 2025 and wore them every day to walk all day. All kinds of pain on top of my feet made me think and i discovered that the absence of a thick soft long tongue on these shoes creates restriction of blood flow on top of foot, and if you tie them loose than your foot moves up-down the shoe. So i created a foam tongue for these shoes and inserted it between thin tongue and the shoelaces. Looks very innovative. I am attaching photos. Ha ha ha.

Worst Nimbus yet
5 months ago
I have been buying GEL Nimbus since Edition 23 and have loved every moment of it until I got this year's Nimbus 27. By far not as comfortable as previous years and for whatever reason they changed the pattern of the Soul so no matter where I walk on tile or wood floors I have to hear tiny little suction cups Wherever I Go. It's the most annoying sound in the world and quite embarrassing at that. Not at all what I was expecting from a nimbus. I can't believe nobody has pointed this out. I wanted to return them but I couldn't find a nimbus 26 in my size so I was stuck with these. Not worth the full price I paid for at all

Comfy!

The Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 is an ultra comfy every day trainer. Sizing is true to size and the toe box has plenty of room for your feet. I didn’t feel that they were too wide, however, and provided great stability and confidence. I went on various runs ranging from shorter 3-6 mile runs to longer 6-10 mile runs and these sneakers felt very comfortable. The soles were extremely cushiony but also provided some “snap”, giving it some bounce and propulsion in your cadence. These are a little bit on the heavier side but for me they were great on easy run days and recovery runs. The tongue is super stretchy and the ankle collars added to the comfort. In all, these are great sneakers for those looking for an ultra comfortable pair of sneakers for easy pace days and recovery runs. I gave this 4 stars because they are slightly on the heavier side and there are some other models out there that are as comfortable but lighter. But really, these are a great pair of running / recovery sneakers. I would definitely recommend.

Comfort for miles
5 months ago
I'm a normal width foot, size 11 running shoe in multiple brands and these fit me true to size. I have used these shoes on pavement, packed dirt and gravel. These shoes are luxuriously comfortable. My favorite features are the heel cup and tongue. The heel cup is set in from the upper and wraps your ankle like a neck pillow, so there is no rubbing of the heel cup on your ankle. The gusseted tongue is soft, stretchy and stays in position. I would describe the shoe as comfortable, cushioned and protective, but not inspiring to run in. Though the midsole is soft, it is not squishy or laborious to run in. However, it is not responsive/bouncy/energetic either, so it does not make you want to run faster and pick up the pace. The sole is wide enough to have some natural stability, but doesn't feel cumbersome. However, because the sole is soft and these have a high stack, they will roll on their edges are not stable enough for uneven surfaces. I think this can be a viable daily trainer for those who want to cruise miles in comfort and don't care about feeling fast or nimble. I think it would be also a great daily trainer for heavier runners or runners nursing chronic injuries. For everyone else, its more of an easy day/recovery shoe, so it loses a star for its lack of true versatility.

Ultra comfortable shoes, great for recovery
5 months ago
The ASICS Gel Nimbus 27 is by far the one of most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I’ve owned many of the top brands going from the “H” brand Clifton 9 to the Nimbus 27 I wasn’t expecting so much extra cushioning even with the extra foam these are very lightweight with a very supportive & breathable upper. I really like the strap on the back of the shoe making slipping into these shoes a breeze. Highly recommend for recovery after a long day in your work boots and for walks or light jogging around your neighborhood.

Quality has some issues, warranty was let down.
5 months ago
Bought these late January excited for the release of the 27. Just a few weeks in and the name tag on the tongue just doesn't stop pricking the top of my foot. Absolutely cheap manufacturing and concerns me about overall longevity. Asics would not accept my request for exchange. I think the Superblast 2 would have been a better gamble. After the denied warranty claim I have started looking back at Brooks. Think twice and research other options. Your hard earned money doesn't go as far these days.

Excellent and Durable Shoe
5 months ago
These shoes are true to size. I’ve been wearing the Gel Nimbus model for 3 years and rotating. They are a quality and comfortable shoe. The 26 seemed to run a little wider(I wear a wide shoe). The 27 has a wide toe box but it isn’t so wide that your foot slides on long or hot runs. I’ve put about 50 miles on these so far and they are holding up just like the previous models. I’ve gotten as many as 600 miles out of the Gel Nimbus and these seem to be just as durable. If you are looking for a neutral shoe, you can’t beat this one.

Really disappointed
1 month ago
I bought these shoes a month ago. They started out ok, with the exception that they pull my socks off as I walk/run in them. This isn't happening because they are too big, it's because of the material that the heel is made of. They have started to break down really quick, there is a spot on the heel collar that has worn a hole and now I have a blister there because my sock got pulled down and the hard part of the heel rubbed on my skin. Also the inside of the shoe has broken down and I have a blister on the bottom of both of my feet at the heel because the shoe is flexing so much when I walk or run in them. I have worn Nimbus in the past and always been happy with that purchase, but I won't be buying another pair of the 27's.

Better than the last version. But not by much.
1 month ago
I would give them a higher rating if they had the same shoe but with a different colored sole either gray or black. I never understood why they would make a white sole for a shoe. It lasts about 10 minutes wearing them anywhere then they're dirty looking. These are better than the last series. The souls haven't started peeling off yet. I got these as a warranty replacement for my last ones that fell apart. Fingers crossed these last longer because if they don't I won't be getting another set for the cost of these things. I only wear them around and office. They should last much longer. I only wear them around and office. They should last much longer.
