ASICS Men's Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoe

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.

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.

I'm what most would consider a casual runner. I put in about 10 miles per week when I'm not training. I tried using this shoe for my lighter recovery runs and I found it was just a bit heavy for my tastes. So why give it 5 stars? Well, it is probably the comfiest most plush shoe I've ever owned. It's like walking on a pillow, but with good support and the right amount of firmness. I wear this shoe for walking and all-day wear at work when sometimes I'm on my feet quite a bit. I've taken it on a Disney trip where I put in 20,000+ steps on multiple days -- it passed with flying colors. If you're looking for a good walking or all-around daily driver shoe, I highly recommend this one.

Im not a shoe/run connoisseur, but these are my favorite road running shoe right now. Thick, comfy, light, feels springy when running. I would loove to use these for a spartan run, but theyre not very slip resistant.

4 month update Pros: very comfortable for 12-hour long shifts in the Emergency Room. Helped a lot with my heel pain, very supportive. 5 stars Cons: blew holes in the top fabric by my big toes by month 3. Still functioning, just not as pretty. Minus one star.

Fit and felt as they should, same as if I would have bought them directly through Asics. No problems at all, and at the time was a better price through Amazon than going to an in store retailer.

Great feel and eliminates shin splints.

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!
