  • Comfortable
Most comfortable shoes ever and great for walking long distances. Last about 6 months for a 6-9 miles a day walker.

  • Perfect for those with bad knees.
Great fit and arch support. Durable and high quality. Lightweight for running with solid traction. Supports my knees (and I've a bad pair of those). These are my go-to runners, though these were discontinued :(

  • Worth the price, perfect for long distance running, awesome shoes! Especially for the price!
Amazing shoes. Got them for an upcoming marathon and it's just awesome. Great cushion, not too soft/hard, just right. Keeps my legs and knees feel better after running long distance. It's built for warmer temperatures but it's still good even in during winter since our feet gets warm during runs. Really durable, especially the soles, but take note that these are pavement/road shoes so not that much traction for dirt/offroad, but it's still good regardless. Definitely worth it for the price, especially for the discounted price since the 27 is out. A bit longer, I got a 10.5 wide and the length feels like it was an 11. Support is good, which is rare for someone with high arch. Color is amazing, doesn't look too dirty when it's dirty. Buy this guys, or the 27s. I'm definitely buying the 27s as well. Asics is just awesome! ... show more

  • Very comfortable, but very expensive
There are quite a number of variations in the gel Nimbus collection. At the time of purchase, this was the newest version I believe. It was very comfortable, but I ended up returning it, first off because I needed a half size larger than I usually wear, but also because I ended up purchasing the gel Nimbus 25 because it was very similar and much cheaper. I find the quality to be very good, I enjoy the mash elastic tongue that I can almost wear without shoelaces, which is great because I do not like tight shoes. They are very squishy and bouncy, which is very nice. I am a little concerned that because of that, they may wear out more quickly And lose that squishy bounciness. They are definitely on a cloud though, I can definitely say that! Impressed with the initial quality. I also love all of the different color schemes you can choose from. ... show more

  • Discontinued model
Size: 11.5 Color: French Blue/Electric Lime
Very comfortable running shoes with a handy, wide loop on the back that is very helpful when putting them on. Unfortunately this model has been discontinued. As of November 2024, Asics has replaced this model with the Gel-Nimbus 27 and as of December 2025, Asics introduced the Gel-Nimbus 28. I expect both newer models to perform equally or better than this model. ... show more

  • Best shoes I’ve ever owned.
Been using these as a pharmacy technician for two years now and have never had a better pair of shoes than this. I actually ended up buying a second identical pair when I retire the first pair because I love them so much.

  • ASICS men’s Nimbus 26 Running shoe
Size: 11.5 Color: French Blue/Electric Lime
I am a long time fan of ASICS and have had numerous pairs over the years. The shoes are well cushioned and comfortable. Unfortunately they began to show wear and fray on the outside left and right pinky area in under a month. Tread on the bottom showed wear after a few weeks as well. Comfortable shoe but major fail on durability! ... show more
