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.
Review: Good quality - Lightweight even in size 11, great support for back and feet. Good quality, stylish and offered in an array of colors. Fit is a little smaller than my normal size because your foot sits a little more forward. I ordered 1/2 size up. Also my foot is a little narrower than medium and these fit well. Recommended for me by local running shoe store because I have plantar fasciitis as well as neuropathy in feet from a L5/S1 herniated disc. I was told these shoes are made specifically for plantar fasciitis and with additional cushion on this year’s model it also gives great cushiony comfort. I wear these daily with an athletic memory foam inner sole for even more comfort and support. The price is in line with other major shoe manufacturers. desertcart offers more color variety than my local shoe store and sometimes a lower price. I would highly recommended for runners, walkers or anyone on their feet for long periods.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great shoes! Love Asics.
*by S***A on October 30, 2025*

I only wear Asics shoes, they are the best for my poor feet. I need good arch support and cushioning, and shoes that don't throw me over. Other brands I was getting a few weeks out of the shoes, Asics brand I get several months. Great colors. These Nimbus 26 shoes have been discontinued, but I was lucky to find this pair in my size. They did come in a box, not a shoe box but in a plastic bag, but the shoes were perfect. So happy I found them.
