Best Nimbus shoe yet!
Getting older now and my feet need the extra comfort and arch support. This is the best Nimbus shoe ASICS has produced in the past 10 years. ASICS has not listened to the customer about a supportive shoe that should provide the comfort and arch support that it should have. Always a complaint is the lack of color selection in the larger sizes. Still an issue now, but that is marketing and sales always ensuring that the smaller feet sizes are a priority since the majority of runners feet are generally smaller that a size 12W. I will probably buy another set of these shoes around the end of summer. No telling what ASICS will eliminate in the next generation of the shoe.... Show more

Biggest leap forward in 25 years
I have been running on ASICS nimbus shoes since Nimbus 17 and owned/ran through almost every generation up till now. I live in the U.K. but often end up importing the 4e width from the USA due to ASICS not stocking them. When I saw these were available I didn’t think twice!ASICS has always been a reliable long distance comfortable ride and these shoes are next level! They are extremely well made and are deceptively light when you hold them. The new booty construction is amazing even the heel tab is a pleasure to use. I lived the 24s but these are definitely an impossible leap forward.If you want to talke your first marathon/half marathon or any running goal don’t think twice!... Show more

Buyer Beware Try Them On First
The positives first , This is a very comfortable shoe with great potential however there are a few issues. (1)I always buy 9.5 in Nimbus models so i did again however the shoe slips in the heel at the back and sides. There is way more padding on the Nimbus 24 which keeps your foot locked in so this is very disappointing on a expensive shoe that rose $20 but cuts corners. Other areas of shoe feels tight.(2)Laces are too long(3) The tongue is a gimmick it is very stretchy wow thats it causes lace pressure with no padding also the tag on tongue has sharp edges that isn't sewed like the 24 (little things)(4) Half the plush padding in heel so slippage occurs.(5) Knit material isn't as soft as they make out especially inside the shoe.So as a long time Nimbus ...

Lets be honest this ain't no Nimbus so don't call it one.Also if you size down half a size shoe will be very tight.Asics are cutting corners but raising the price poor form.... Show more

Comfortable, light and bright
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 ...

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....

Comfortable & Quality Running Shoe
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 ...

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.... Show more

GEL NIMBUS 25
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.

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.

Great Shoe Very Comfortable
Had them for 2 weeks. One of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I love the elastic tongue. I normally get a little sore were the tongue area is. But not with these shoes the elastic tongue makes all the difference. The extra thick sole may look a little thick but the extra comfort it gives certainly makes up for that. The first day I wore them I felt a little sore in the sole of my foot but that only lasted 1 day now they are perfect. Im not sure why that happened may be my feet needed to mould into them. They are fine now I cant take them off.... Show more

Interesting direction for the Nimbus line, but needs some work.
The shoes are comfortable, but I would not say that they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever tried. The upper is good, but the toes box is just too narrow and shallow. I do not have wide feet, but I do like room for my toes to splay as nature intended them to. Does not work with this shoe. The toe box is just too shallow. My big toe was crammed right up to the top, not a good idea for a long distance shoe. I have had this happen in the past and it turned into black toenails. The midsole is more comfortable than that of the Novablast 3, but the stack height is just too much. Not sure why ASICS gave this shoe such a ridiculous tall midsole. It’s unstable, heavy and a hazard for the ankles. They could have kept it at 35mm and still achieved a very ...

Super Speedy Shoes
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.... Show more
