Review: Great shoes!! This is my third pair! - I have HOKAs and these and love both but feel these are softer than my HOKAS. Great fit, wider toe box so very comfortable at end of long run or full day on your feet.
Review: With UPDATE! Life-changing comfort for this runner! - UPDATE: After a little over 600 miles, the soles are still in great shape, the cushioning is feeling a bit of compression (but it’s still good), yet the exterior cloth near my big toe is wearing out. (Picture added) I’ve had this problem with previous ASICS: always the same area. My foot isn’t unnaturally large there, but I do a lot of turning in my daily runs, and I’m wondering if rub one foot against the other? I’m not sure, but my sock is about to burst through. I’m sad because the rest of the shoe should have a few hundred miles left. I’ve run about 150 miles in these ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 shoes, and I need to tell you about them. It’s important. A little background: I finally admitted I need more cushion in my running shoes. This isn’t a crutch—it’s a necessity. My metatarsal was in pain, my knees were aching (not because I’m 56, thank you very much), and running was just making everything hurt. So I set aside my longtime ASICS Gel-Cumulus and gave the (true-to-size) Nimbus a try. My first run? Lots of stopping and retying the laces. But once I realized I could’ve just compared them to my old ASICS, that trial-and-error could’ve been avoided. But once I got going, wow. You know that feeling when you finally crawl into bed after a long day—clean sheets, cozy mattress, and you actually sigh out loud? That’s what the Gel-Nimbus 26 felt like. No break-in period. Just instant comfort. These shoes truly welcomed my feet. I thought I’d run a couple of miles in the new pair and then switch back to my trusty Gel-Cumulus for comparison. Big mistake. The moment I put the Cumulus back on and started running, it felt like my joints were going to shatter. I had no idea how much better my feet and legs could feel—until I ran in the Nimbus. Over the last month and a half, these shoes have been absolute game-changers. I’ll head out planning to run five miles and end up doing eight. Or ten. Or twelve. Everyone around me is probably tired of hearing about these shoes and how more cushion can truly affect running performance, but I can’t help it. They’ve literally changed my life as a runner.
