The Nimbus 28 are great! For me, the Nimbus 27’s were to wide and did not provide enough side support to keep your foot stable. The 28’s have a slightly more narrow design which helps the foot stay more stable. Very happy! These shoes are extremely comfortable. Only flaw is that I wish it had more varied color selections. Very happy with this version of the shoe.
These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn! They are ideal for those long, slow days.
Purchased these as a replacement to my pair of gel nimbus 26. They are much lighter and just as supportive. They feel more snug all around. They are intended to be used for everyday wear during pregnancy. My gel nimbus 26 saved me during my last pregnancy so I couldn’t resist but reup on a new pair this time around !
Always wear the Nimbus - however let me say there is a definite difference in this shoe - less cushioning which was very noticeable !!!!! I even had to look to make sure I bought the right shoe - as someone who has knee, hip and back issues - this was was always my “go to” - maybe not this version - disappointed
I've bought several pairs of Gel Nimbus shoes from Asics and I love them! I walk about 5 miles a day, so I use them often unless the sidewalks are covered with ice. The Ascis are comfortable and offer lots of support. They come in a variety of colors, so I don't get bored with them.
I don’t like the new string loops. The ones in the 27 model are better. The toe box is too wide in the mineral beige and piedmont grey. The black is a smaller toe box, which is better. The cushioning in the shoe is great.
Great shoe as usual with the Nimbus. The tongue is a bit more stretchy than the last iteration. Only downside is that an all white shoe wasn't available. Wish it was standard.
Comfort feels better than the 27, but they still haven’t fixed the mesh on top. The 26s were no doubt the best version of this shoe model. Still plan on keeping.
My feet hurt in these. They are stiffer in the soles causing me sore feet. I loved the 27’s so I was excited for these but ended up disappointed.
I loved these shoes but the design change to the rocker style bottom does not work for me They feel squishier but they hurt my feet
