The Gel-Nimbus 25 are my first Asics cushioned long run shoes. I switched brand as I couldn’t get a replacement in my size and I had heard great things of the Gel-Nimbus 25. After running in them now for just over a month I have some good and not so good views.The good, they are certainly the most comfiest running shoes I’ve had over the years. The FF Blast Eco midsole is super cushioned but also relatively responsive for a max cushion shoe and certainly not dull running, I can still pick up the pace if needed, I'd say a perfect balance cushioned shoe. The fit is true to size, great lockdown and with good room in the toe box for average feet.The not so good, the outsole is the main downside and not very grippy on wet pavement with slight slippage on each toe off. ... MoreThe Gel-Nimbus 25 are my first Asics cushioned long run shoes.

Grip is absolutely fine in dry weather but poor when it’s wet. The other minor gripe is the upper while super comfy gets a little hot as breathability isn’t good and after running for an hour or so my feet sweat. I wouldn’t like to run in these through summer months.Wold I buy the Gel-Nimbus again? Probably, If Asics improved the grip in wet and breathability these would be the perfect cushioned long run shoes.

The New ASICS Gel Nimbus 25's are a change for me having used other brands previously.They have very soft slouchy soles which really do provide an optimum comfort especially when you're pounding concrete on a run, helping ease pressure on your joints. They have now taken over as my primary running shoe. Like most good running shoes they won't keep your feet dry if you run through puddles or in the rain but that does mean they're very breathable.Of course with this the sole is a dominating feature of the trainer which does stand out and particularly lends itself to running over walking, however the sole does get dirty easily and is a bit of a challenge to clean, that said, the entire design isn't exactly subtle! There are various available colour schemes but ... MoreThe New ASICS Gel Nimbus 25's are a change for me having used other brands previously.They have very soft slouchy soles which really do provide an optimum comfort especially when you're pounding concrete on a run, helping ease pressure on your joints.

There are various available colour schemes but whichever you choose, the design is in line with what you would expect (and see) with long distance running such as Marathons.I'm thoroughly enjoying using these new shoes and they're helping me rekindle my enjoyment of road running once again.The build quality so far appears good, but you would expect that at the price point. I would definitely look to ASICS again in the future and I know my girlfriend swears by them.

These Asics running shoes are very comfortable to wear, with gel cushioning and lined with soft padding around the heel. The materials give a feeling half way between shoes and socks as it is comfortable for walking and running.The blue colour is very bright, with the contrasting orange detailing - as shown in photos. This is brighter than I would normally choose, but looks good. After wearing a few times on trails the mud does show on the fabric and sole, but cleans up ok. If wearing in the rain or splashing through puddles your feet will get wet, but I found this to remain comfortable even when wet - I haven't tried them yet in the warmer weather but I expect to be good in the heat for running or walking with good breathability.The materials appear to be good ... MoreThese Asics running shoes are very comfortable to wear, with gel cushioning and lined with soft padding around the heel.

The large loop at the back of the heel makes them easy to take on and off. The laces match the shoes nicely, and provide good fastening for a secure fit with multiple eyelets. The soles have reasonable grip from new, but I am unsure how quickly the soles will wear with use.Overall I would recommend these shoes as a comfortable, lightweight option for running or walking.

I have moved between Saucony and Asics for over 30 years and i always recommended them to my clients with foot, knee, and hip issues. Recently I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis that affected my feet in a horribly painful way, so I had to find something with a lot of cushion, and I mean a lot because I am determined to walk to keep as much mobility as I possibly can and my muscles in shape.About six months ago I ordered the most cushioned HOKAs after seeing many nurses in the ER wearing them. Like nurses, I am in shoes for over 12 hours a day. I wasn't disappointed, but after wearing them for a period of time I knew I needed to find a different brand because they were too costly for the time they lasted. ...in came ASICS again.I've had these ASICS for a few ... MoreI have moved between Saucony and Asics for over 30 years and i always recommended them to my clients with foot, knee, and hip issues.

My feet have never been so happy!!! They are everything I needed to help me battle the complications of having MS. MS can be debilitating, but with ASICS I won't give in or give up walking!!!I have only one issue - the cost, they are as expensive as the HOKAs. Of course, they are worth it, but I wish ASICS would offer a discount for disabled people. Many of us cannot work, are on SSDI, SSI, or need help with covering the costs of helpful products such as these shoes.That said, I simply cannot believe how much better my feet feel in these shoes! THANK YOU ASICS, IMO, YOU ADDED MANY HAPPY YEARS TO MY LIFE.
As a running enthusiast, I recently purchased a pair of Gel Nimbus running shoes that I would like to review. After extensive use, I can confidently say that these shoes have exceeded my expectations and have become my go-to pair for any run.The first thing that caught my attention about these shoes was their comfort. The cushioning system in the sole provides ample support and helps to absorb impact while running. Additionally, the breathable mesh upper keeps my feet cool and dry even during intense workouts. I have not experienced any discomfort or blisters since wearing these shoes, even on longer runs.Another notable feature of these shoes is their durability.

Despite running on a variety of surfaces, including pavement and trails, the soles show minimal signs of wear and tear. The outsole provides excellent traction, which is especially beneficial when running on wet or slippery surfaces.In terms of fit, these shoes run true to size and offer a snug yet comfortable fit. The lacing system allows for a customizable fit and helps to keep the shoes in place while running.Overall, I am highly satisfied with my purchase of these running shoes. They offer a perfect combination of comfort, durability, and performance, making them a great choice for any runner looking for a reliable pair of shoes. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone in the market for new running footwear.
This shoe has ruined me… every time I put on another brand/model of shoes it’s not as comfortable as it used be. I was big into ultra boost, zoom X, fresh foam, fuel cell etc and they all feel so uncomfortable compared to the nimbus 25. This shoe is the whole package when it comes to comfort and stability. The upper is plush around the collar and the elastic gusseted tongue is probably my favorite thing about the nimbus. The only thing that I can nitpick is the tougue has a tag on it that if you wear no show socks like I do, really scratches or itches the tops of my feet. Luckily I can pull my socks past that so it’s not an issue but figured if they change anything on the 26… please at least be that. I would really like to have better color ways.

I realize some of them are what ASICS has been using for years but I would really like something different (not a fan of white soles). The only other thing that would love is a version of the nimbus that’s a little more weather resistant. I live in a very big city and lucky enough to be able to walk to work and every time it rains I have to leave these at home. ASICS Nimbus 25 is already the shoe of the year for me. If you’re on the fence… just get it, you won’t regret it.
I don't remember exactly what got me sold on this shoe. Oh wait, I do remember! Asics kind of did a bang up job advertising these, and like a hungry fish, I took the bait. These shoes are definitely the most comfortable piece of footwear my feet have been in in the last 43 years. Literally feels like you're walking on clouds and having flat feet, well, this is exactly what the doctor ordered. They feel beyond perfect and I'm trying to be modest here. Asics scored yet another homerun with bases loaded. If I could give this a 10 star review, I'd give it 500. Asics shoes are notorious in my book for taking on everything I dish out and using them strictly for work and the occasional run, they get more than abused. I deliver mail and needless to say, I walk around a lot ... MoreI don't remember exactly what got me sold on this shoe. Oh wait, I do remember!

I deliver mail and needless to say, I walk around a lot and even that's an understatement but asics have never let me down. They won't deflate leaving my feet feeling like I'm walking on wet cardboard. Don't stop putting out quality shoes, asics. The whole world needs ya.
A great shoe for my long, easy runs, and recovery runs. I run for hours in them. A solid 4 stars. The plushness of the upper is still there, and the softness of the midsole is still soft. Me having a wide foot, I find there is plenty of room in the toe box when my feet expand. This shoe has spoiled me because I'm so use to the comfort; I don't want to take them off, but I have speed days, and use another shoe for those days. It just has the right amount of squish underfoot. So why not 5 stars? I have wide feet, so while the upper fits pretty good, the outsole rubber doesn't really cover the whole bottom of the midsole. That flaw causes the the outer part of the midsole to wear away as you can see in one of the pictures. On many occasions I almost twisted my ankle ... MoreA great shoe for my long, easy runs, and recovery runs. I run for hours in them. A solid 4 stars.

That flaw causes the the outer part of the midsole to wear away as you can see in one of the pictures. On many occasions I almost twisted my ankle because of the wear. Even before the midsole started to wear, within the first 100 miles I almost twisted my ankle because of lack of outsole rubber coverage. Asics shouldn't be afraid of adding a little bit more rubber on common wear spots like the outer part of the forefoot to reduce the risk of getting injured. Had they done so, this shoe would be a solid 5 stars in my book.
I needed a pair of walking trainers that are durable and very soft as I can often walk in excess of 8 miles every weekend. My walks are routinely on concrete, pavement slabs, ashpalt and canal/river tow paths. The sole of these trainers are very durable and don't feature soft, deep rubber tread that you would find on hiking or trail boots/shoes. So they are ideal for the terrain I walk. I sometimes suffer from plantar fascia pains, so wanted very soft and light footwear to help out. These certainly do the job. They are incredibly light, making long walks very enjoyable. The cushioning given by the gel/foamcombo is so soft. Each stride feels assisted from the bounce, making light work of walking. They are by far the softest trainers I have ever had.

They also add a good inch and a bit to my height. They are wide, both in the toe box and outer heel sole, adding to the sponge like feel. The seamless upper is very comfortable no sores at all. They are ideal for my use. I would say however, on uneven terrain, the odd stone or pavement edging, if the wide outer heel does catch on a high spot, I find thr shoe does twist rather quick. This is obviously a penatly you take for the soft feel, and as I'm not running, the potential for injury is minimal to my ankles.
Super speedy running in these shoes as they're just so bouncy! The amount of gel used within the Nimbus 25 range running shoes really is significant and this has resulted in significant benefit in my brief experience of using them so far. Asics are already renowned for producing excellent quality running shoes and this style is just another expression of their ability to manufacture and engineer superior style, comfort and endurance. I've tried the shoes over a variety of terrains within the last week and I feel that they have been incredible across the board, whether this be alongside rocky hillsides, over uneven field side or woodland paths, and even across the beach in the rain. The bright blue colour really does stand out in the dark and this is another feature ... MoreSuper speedy running in these shoes as they're just so bouncy!

The fit was true to size for me but I like a snug fit as this really does add to the support features of the shoes over the feet when in use. The running shoes do offer great value for money in my opinion as the performance of the shoes and their engineering quality really does tip the balance for me. I am sure that these will take the effort and hopefully, given the reputation of Asics, endure for the many more memorable running experiences I hope to experience using them.
