Scores better than 84% of all shoes.
Our ratings use detailed reviews from knowledgeable runners, ratings for shoes in the same product line, and reliable product information from trusted retailers.
Rankings combine runner ratings, whether reviewers say they'd buy a shoe again, direct comparisons to other shoes, related product-line performance, and trusted external ratings.
The darker band shows the central rating range. The lighter band shows a wider range of reasonable outcomes. More reviews for this shoe usually narrow both bands.

Asics has been the leader in innovation for developing the best possible shoe(s) for running comfort and durability. The Nimbus does not disappoint as it ticks all my boxes giving a superb fit with comfort and durability. I was an elite runner when I was younger, and I still am as a masters athlete, and I have been almost injury free wearing Asics shoes.

I ran in Asics Gel Nimbus 24 and loved them but then they made the 25 too cushioned and not wide or stable enough. I find the Asics Gel Nimbus comfortable, cushioned and stable. The price point is a bit high but hopefully Asics release the Gel Nimbus 27 soon and then the 26 price will drop.
