Sellers through the Asics Amazon Storefront arenot all verified by Asics and they do not stand by the quality of product purchased through their Amazon storefront.They have been incredibly comfortable (my favorite since the 15s), but I am so let down by how poorly they have held up.

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.

I bought these shoes a few months ago. They are great shoes so great in fact I never felt better. Being on a limited income due to my health the only enjoyment and exercise I found enjoyable is walking. I walk about 15 miles a day in these shoes. They have held up so nicely however they began to smell horribly from my feet sweat. I can’t afford a new pair so I put baking soda in them as directed to do from tik tok and I left them out for the night only to have it rain on me whwn it wasn’t scheduled to rain. My shoes are now ruined because the baking soda I put in there was pretty much the entire box trying my hardest to get the smell out. I havent been able to walk in the last 4 days and my feet hurt from not having these amazing shoes on. To anyone with any foot ... MoreI bought these shoes a few months ago.

To anyone with any foot odor please don’t make the same mistake I did you will be just as heart broken as I am. These shoes gave my hope and changed my life. Best purchase ever made. Hoping I can save enough money in the next few months to get another pair. My health has truly declined from not being able to walk.

These shoes got me through four tough half marathons and one hilly marathon in 2023. I also got two new PBs. I know these are not supposed to be built for races, as they are not particularly light and fast. For example, it’s hard to run a sub-20 5km in them. However, if you want comfort and have wide feed and a mild bunion like me, then these shoes are perfect. I think these shoes largely kept me injury free last year, too. You should definitely buy these if you want a safe, long-distance running shoe. Thank you ASICS. I’m looking forward to trying some of your other models this year, including the new Gel-Nimbus 26 and Superblasts (I want to push for a fast marathon and half-marathon time).Please note that I ran over 600km in these shoes before the cushioning ... MoreThese shoes got me through four tough half marathons and one hilly marathon in 2023.

They are therefore very good quality. I have tried many other running brands. Brooks are good, but their heel drop is just too high in my view. The new Ghosts, though they have a lower heel drop, were somewhat on the firmer end and I would not try to run 20km plus in one hit. Saucony are good as well, but they sadly don’t give you the option to test their shoes out. This is definitely needed, if you are running long distances.
So disappointed with the 25's. I started with the Nimbus 12's and the 25's are the first time my knees hurt after jogging once in them. The shoes are loose unlike previous versions. The recycled materials are nice for the environment but I would never want to compromise durability and comfort and I think that is what happened with the 25's. Also, why are the shoes the same price as previous versions? If the materials are recycled, the shoes should be much cheaper now. The white part at the bottom back of the shoe that sticks out? It's ugly and challenging to walk down stairs with it as well. Were these shoes really tested? I don't know how they would have passed any tests compared to previous versions unless the goal was to cheapen the shoe and make it less ... MoreSo disappointed with the 25's.

It's ugly and challenging to walk down stairs with it as well. Were these shoes really tested? I don't know how they would have passed any tests compared to previous versions unless the goal was to cheapen the shoe and make it less functional. I don't know why the people who design these shoes thought this is where the Nimbus should go. I would be all for it if it actually improved the shoe but I am sure this was a big step backward. These shoes felt unsturdy and cheap and resulted in pain so I am not going to wear them for jogging ever again. I don't even know that I want to walk in them because it feels like you are standing on an incline. After realizing these shoes are not for me, I purchased the last of the 24's that you can still find here and there. The 24's are great. I don't know that I want to even try the 26's since they seem to be more like the 25's which imo are really not good. I'm giving them 3 stars because they are better than a lot of other shoes but for the Asics Nimbus line, the 25's are blah.
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!

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.
Just bought 2 pairs of running trainers the GEL_PULSE 14 = great and the GEL-NIMBUS 25 that I had hoped would be the faster shoes for races. These are terrible for me, reasons why:1. No bounce back effect, yes these are very comfortable but they literally soak all the energy from every stride like dampening shock absorbers. I felt like I had to work an extra 25% in these, they were dead.2. ASICS claims detail 'Comfort' from an Australian focus group, I agree all would have said these are comfortable but that one thing, as a runner these are terrible if you run a 9min mile pace or slower or weight 90kg or more. Look past the comfort from all and learn from those in group that would have said similar to em.2b. There is no max weight rating on any of the ASICS ... MoreJust bought 2 pairs of running trainers the GEL_PULSE 14 = great and the GEL-NIMBUS 25 that I had hoped would be the faster shoes for races.

Look past the comfort from all and learn from those in group that would have said similar to em.2b. There is no max weight rating on any of the ASICS description, these might be supportive for a lighter faster runner but not for me. Reconsider weight ratings on the website descriptions.3. The rear tab, I could feel rubbing on my right foot after 4 miles, there are negative comments about these, after 20 miles this might have lead to a problem blister.4. The heal is too high resulting in pain in the front of my lower legs, just built up too much. I did note this was great for going downhill but unless you are doing this or running very fast where the momentum takes you forward, these are going to be a slow shoe for the club runner.5. As all the top range in ASICS are of this style, I'll probably have to look back to NIKE for a similar fit, their soles last longer and are quite comfortable. A shame ASICS are going down the gimmicky shoes design which led me away fro NIKE to ASICS in the first place. Back to basics please with a flatter supportive shoe, that is comfortable but responsive and which offers decent wear protection. Come on ASICS you can sort this I have 5 pairs of ASICS on the go at the moment but these are going back as they are unusable for me to run in.
I purchased a new pair of Asic Gel-Nimbus recently, online & direct from Asics. This was due to brand loyalty as over the years my last 3 pairs of running shoes have all been Asic Gels, UK size 10.5. All previous shoes have been excellent, have fitted me perfectly, and have given me long service on many runs including half-marathons. So I had no reason to doubt the comfort of this, my fourth pair. On first fitting they felt tight, so I loosened the laces, stretched the shoe & persevered. Although still feeling too small, I thought it must be my imagination as that they should be a perfect fit at 10.5. I wore them on a 5 mile run, at the end of which my toes were rubbed sore & painful. Not wishing to give up on the shoe, I took them for another shorter run 2 days ... MoreI purchased a new pair of Asic Gel-Nimbus recently, online & direct from Asics.

I wore them on a 5 mile run, at the end of which my toes were rubbed sore & painful. Not wishing to give up on the shoe, I took them for another shorter run 2 days later. Even worse soreness, now with an abrasion on my left second toe. I wrote an email to Asics customer service saying as much & got a reply stating that new shoes sometimes take some getting used to. Well, it's not my imagination, it is a completely different shoe to my 3 previous pairs: the fit of the shoe is the problem, it is definitely smaller & tighter than before: A DIFFERENT SHOE. I cannot return the shoes as I've run in them, so I will probably sell them on ebay. After this experience I will not buy running shoes online again - I'll go to a shop every time. And one more thing - my feet haven't grown lately, I'm 62 years old and a constant size 10.5.
The shoes are not true to size. The listing mentions that a half-size up is advisable for running. I purchased these shoes for long periods of standing and walking for my overseas trip. I bought mine in size 8 which are my actual size. They fit very snugly and pushes your toes to the tip of the shoes as you walk. I believe I should have opted for the half-size up, but again. But I did not purchase them for running. When I first put them on, they felt fine. But when worn for actual walking, they really squeezed my feet around the heels and arch area resulting in blisters and calluses to form. There are no visible defect to my shoes but the padding sole around the heel area seems to poke at my feet which were the cause of the blisters for one of my feet. I could not ... MoreThe shoes are not true to size. The listing mentions that a half-size up is advisable for running.

I could not return them or exchange them because I had worn them outside and they were not eligible for the warranty. So, I am quite unhappy with them because they were full of bad surprises that I was not expecting initially coming in to buy comfortable walking shoes. I can continue to break them in, but I believe the description should mention that the shoes runs small and to get a half-size bigger regarding of function especially for folks with wider feet.
I hate this shoe. I bought it online; it was the shoe that seemed the closest to the shoe I had purchased prior to this one, which I loved, but could not find. I took it out for a for a short run after receiving it and was gobsmacked. It hurts my feet to no end. I've only been running for four years, but was a dancer prior so I can deal with some discomfort but this was ridiculous. It started with a numbing metatarsal, so I loosened the laces. That helped for a while but came back with a vengeance. By the time I returned from my run, one of my toes was killing me and the whole front box of both feet were on fire. I called ASICs to beg for a solution was told that since I had already worn the shoe, nothing could be done. I will not be buying ASICs again and am ... MoreI hate this shoe.

I will not be buying ASICs again and am extremely disappointed in the company's lack of care. There should be a policy in place, particularly when purchasing online, that shoes can be returned within a reasonable amount if usage. How can one know if the shoe is right if they buy it sight unseen, without trying it???? As I mentioned, I have been very loyal to ASICs but will now experiment with other brands and I will NEVER buy a shoe online again.
