ASICS  GEL-Nimbus 27 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

Fit, form and function. These are the cushiest shoes I have ever worn! I ran on crushed gravel, pavement, and on the treadmill. While I’m not used to running in a shoe with this much cushion, I found running in them outside to be quite comfortable. Six miles in and my legs felt fresh! I actually feel taller in these shoes (all that cushion!), which took a bit of adjustment when running. While the added cushion felt great outdoors, I felt a bit unstable on the treadmill. Pros: They have an awesome heel pad (see picture) that hold my heel secure - fantastic for those of us with narrow heels. As an added bonus, I found the heel pad also kept all of those annoying little pebbles from working their way into the shoe while running. Cons: it’s minor, but I don’t know why running companies can’t get laces right! If you tie your shoes with a heel lock and a double knot, you will want to replace the laces with a longer set. Heads-up: Compared to other brands of running shoes, I find I need a 1/2 size larger in ASICS.

I generally run in very minimalist shoes and was excited to try these for use in long recovery runs and on pavement to lessen the shock, but in the end due to the weight, these seem better for general training runs. It didn't feel like cushion overload or too bouncy. Pros: The mesh tongue makes it easy to make sure it's flat against your foot keeping the top of my foot very comfortable. The shoe seemed rather wide, almost like there was too much upper, but it didn't feel too big when running and the reinforced toe is great. I did feel a bit of a burning sensation under the balls of my feet after three miles, but with a little work with the laces it was greatly improved. The stretchy loop on the back of the shoe is a great help in getting the shoe on and should keep everyone from smashing their foot into the shoe to get it on and my foot didn't feel like it was sliding around. I had absolutely no rubbing of the heels or ankle bones and my toes had plenty of room. Cons: Feels like a lot of shoe, and overly clunky. Lighter would be nicer for recovery and the upper could be more breathable. It would also be nice if the loop on the tongue was stitched into two so that you could use two loops to tighten down. I really miss having a little gel that softens in the midsole below the arch of the foot. Could that be a thing again rather than all foam?

I’ve enjoyed the ASICS Gel Nimbus for both running and everyday wear. The shoes are comfortable, lightweight, have good support, and absorb impact well. Pros: + Excellent cushioning and comfort for long periods of use + Lightweight, yet supportive + Great for flat feet + Durable Cons: -A little bulky - A “roll forward” feeling when walking/running because of the shape of the sole Overall, if you're looking for a supportive, cushioned shoe for everyday running or walking, the ASICS Gel Nimbus is a solid choice.

Put these on and immediately headed out for a run. The tongue felt a little tight but the toe box is very roomy. They did get a little warm although they may be because I have the black color. Overall not as squishy as some shoes but decent mix of cushion and bounce. Didn’t feel heavy felt pretty light and fast for all the cushion. No hot spots or blisters or sores after my run. Overall comfortable shoes for road running.

I haven’t worn ASICS in a few years but these showed up at just the right time. At first I thought they might be a little heavier and bulkier than I normally want in a shoe but once I had them on and running I didn’t notice. I found them to be a good cushion to the foot strike. I generally need a wider toe box than what ASICS offer, but this shoe was just right at the forefoot. The knitted tongue fit snugly without slipping, but I did find a small amount of slipping under my heel which isn’t terrible but the only drawback and why it lost one star. I’ll have to play with the lacing more to see if I can’t eliminate that. The sole isn’t too grippy so I’m glad the winter slush and ice is completely gone. The shoes handled well on both the road and a crushed gravel running path. Overall a comfortable trainer as I pick up more mileage for my summer races. I’m a few pounds heavier coming out of the winter and it’s nice to have a shoe that cushioned the impact of my step.

I received these asics tennis shoes that are going back because you can definitely tell they have been worn. Not horribly worn, but you can definitely tell that they wore them maybe for a day or tried them on and walked with them for a while in their dirty home or outside. In either case, they are dirty on the bottom. It seems like a good reputable company would send an item that was up to the standards of what a customer expects to get. So, returning not because of a bad product but because of a worn product.

Asics has been my go to shoe for years. I normally order a Wide shoe, but the last two models, the regular width is wide enough. I also have the previous version in a wide, and it is too wide. I walk about 3 miles daily and have the shoes on all day. Love the cushiony feel. Very comfortable right out of the box.

I upgraded to this pair from an older version of the same model and have really enjoyed the updates! The entire shoe is much lighter without losing support. I really like the upper material, which has a little stretch and give to it. Very spacious toe box as well. They have held up to ~16 weeks of marathon training with minimal tread and blistering.

I absolutely love my new Nimbus 27 shoes. They are so comfortable, like walking on clouds all day. I don't run in them, but I am a teacher who has to stand up much of the day and there are just perfect. I am prone to foot issues but these are great. I didn't even change out the insoles as I usually do. Great just the way they are!! Highly recommend.

I have been wearing ASICS Nimbus for many years and I have loved them because they provided good cushioning for my arthritic feet. However, the new version is too soft and cushy, forcing my foot to roll to the inside resulting in knee and hip pain. I would have gone to the Cumulus, but the shoe itself has changed and is now looser in the heel.
