How it ranks
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 24 ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Comfort and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 18 runner reviews and 13 other rated shoes in the GEL-Nimbus product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Have close to 200 miles on this shoe and it is still as comfortable as it was out of the box. Highly recommend.

30 mpw training for a half marathon
4/5
Overall
At 1500K, I only use this pair for recovery days now, but it was more than up to the task for daily runs and long runs. Still a good amount of life in them yet.

30 mpw training for a half marathon came from the ASICS GEL-Cumulus 24
5/5
Overall
As a runner with over 30 marathons I have alway used the Nimbus for training runs. A shoe that I could depend on not to leave a blister and feel good. With the recent change from the 24 and 25’s I can no longer recommend. Asics has completely sold out. Choosing mainstream over a tried and true product. Now I’m forced to move on.

I am 6'2" 190lbs and the Nimbus is the shoe I rely on when I'm running big miles.
