Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

I am so disappointed with the Nimbus this time. I've been a long time supporter of this shoe and it doesn't even feel like the same style now. It doesn't fit my foot and pinches even with going to a larger size. It makes me upset and I wasted $150 on shoes I can't wear comfortably. I need to look for new brand and/or style.

ASICS seems to be making the toe boxes in their shoes narrower, so I ordered a wide. While this left me room up front, my heel ended up rubbing up and down as I moved. These shoes fit high in the back, and have a hard plastic price that ended up rubbing the back of my heel to the point that the shoe was bloody mess and I was in a lot of pain) after a five mile walk. Very disappointed in this shoe and in the most recent upgrades. This loyal ASICS wearer is looking for alternative brands.

These shoes are like running with flippers! They are awful! The sole is way too stiff. The heel slides up and down with every step. These are, by far, the worst running shoes that I have ever tried, and I have averaged 30-40 miles a week for the last seven years. Do not buy them!

These looked great but didn't last. After wearing Brooks for the past couple of years, my husband got a pair of Asics and loved them so much I thought I'd give them another try. So I bought the more expensive ones hoping they'd last. Within a month, the tread was gone. I do walk 3-5 miles a day, but they should last longer than a month. Back to buying Brooks.
