Great shoe for training with occasional social wear (because they have some great colors!). Good price point for durability, though I don't want to pay above $100. I'm a former fan of the cushioning and light weight vs sturdiness of Asics' Cumulus and Kayano series shoes, except that Kayano forced a roll in my heel strike and Cumulus are super pricey now. For beginning self-coached runners, I'll give more details to support my summary above. I mention other shoes, but ultimately this review is about Asics Nimbus which I give 4-5 stars out of 5. Solid features, happy I own my Nimbus. If the price keeps edging up, I'll find another shoe.I've run distance in half marathons, occasionally. Meaning 1-2 races per year over a 6-7 year period (work, family, life matter). Probably 1500 miles. I still run when not training for a race, and have tried New Balance too. New Balance feel good but never last long due to construction flaws. Asics are durable, but I've tried a few different models. Unfortunately I didn't figure out the heel roll on other Asics models that opposed my natural stride until a few half marathons, so I had some persistent minor injuries the whole time from Kayano shoes a couple years. Cumulus were nice, but too pricey and their cushioning gave out too soon compared to Gel Kayano. Changing shoes and rest were my recovery. I ran 1 marathon in Zoot Kalani Ultras, and enjoyed the show portion of the experience. Now I've switched to Zoot and Asics Nimbus to start building mileage again, hopefully shoe-induced injury free.So far these Nimbus are great! They are solid (but not to the point of removing all ankle roll on all solid surfaces because I still want to be responsive to pavement changes). They are fairly light weight for being on the higher end of durability - compared to their peers. I don't notice a forced roll on heel strike, and they aren't as aggressive on the heel to toe angle. For 40-50% lower price, my Zoot have more air flow and equal "neutral" design with good cushioning, but seem less durable. I love Zoot because shin splints and other recurring minor injuries went away with Kalani Ultras.I mention all these shoes because I hope it helps other runners understand how these specs matter. You have to build endurance through consistancy, so good shoes are vital. It's all about your stride and foot rotation on the surface you run. Light shoes mean less effort raising your rear heel back to top. Forcing a roll upon heel strike affects your supporting body parts (ITB strain, shin splints, Achilles injuries can result if you are not generally neutral). Heel to toe angle impacts your spring off, meaning it helps you get just enough forward motion without too much heel impact or too much weight always on the balls of your feet. So when you finish the life of your running shoes, they should have a good sole wear pattern (adjusted to generally neutral) and you should have knees, shins, etc that don't hurt.Airflow matters for cooling and handling precipitation while running, plus odor control as they air dry after runs. Durability vs price is a big deal to me, which is why I only run in Asics or Zoot. Asics seem to last 300 to 500 miles (don't wear them as everyday shoes if they are for running). Zoot are my preference for the race as they feel cooler & lighter, but they just don't last as many miles as Asics. Asics & Zoot fit alike - snug but not restrictive on my US size 12 foot (6ft 185 lbs). Haven't tried wide shoes or extra thick socks or weighted vests or trails in these. I just run my neighborhood or a local park with occasional grass & terrain change.I have been running in ASICS for years. I purchased a pair of ASICS Men's Gel-Nimbus 21 in October 13, 2021. Both toe areas now have holes on January 1, 2022. This always happens to my ASICS shoes after a few months. I jog 2 hours (7 miles) every day. This is approximately 217 miles every month. Do I need to wear thicker socks, keep my toenails trimmed short, or replace shoes very 2 months? Most experts agree that running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles.Literally the best pair of running shoes I’ve ever owned. I have never been much of a runner. I’ve always done power-lifting and heavy compound lifts. So as expected I always shunned running and extended cardio exercises. I’m getting old now and let’s face it, my joints and tendons aren’t what they used to be. So I’ve decided to keep my weights lower and add longer runs to my workout regiment. I started running, using just my ordinary Reebok sneakers. Turns out I’m an under-pronater and this was made evident by a calf strain and stress fracture to the outside of my right foot. My doc told me that I supinate too much when I run and I needed a sneaker that had more arch support and encouraged me to pronate more. After a little bit of research, I pulled the trigger and pick these shoes up. In less than a week after those aforementioned injuries, I popped them on and cleared a 5 mile run which was easier and more comfortable than any other time in my life. My calf was a little sore afterwards, but my foot felt fine. Not even a tinge of pain. Since then, I’ve cleared a few more runs between 5 and 7 miles. My calves no longer hurt and forgot that I even had a foot injury. If you have a problem with your arches or not pronating enough (the outside of your feet hurt or your calves feel like they’re going to tear) these are the sneakers for you. Hands downbetter toe box support.I originally had a pair of these shoes from Asics and purchase another from Outdoor Equipped. The shoes are in perfect condition, packaging shoe box was safe, the Amazon box was also in good condition (granted that's all up to Fedex or UPS during transit).I have a bit of an overpronation.I could tell because most of the wear and tear from previous shoes were along the heel and forefront of the foot (or down the big toe area).These shoes provide a lot of stability for a neutral running experience and the cushioning is "O.K."Granted, if you're putting a lot of mileage on them, it will wear quicker than expected and might not "break in" properly. Basically going from this ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°) to ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) , with the new cushioning.So to summarize:Great neutral balance shoe for long distance or trail running experience."Fair" for sprints since the shoe won't stay snug around the heel area and you'll probably find more stress on the ankle when turning on a dime since it's a bit on the heavier side.Sturdy and doesn't scuff.Color scheme is really nice and blends well. Not too "loud".Long life span. --> Typically shoes would get changed out every 300 miles or so, but mine have lasted approximately 800 (don't do this. the cushioning and protective material wear out so I was chancing my luck with injury).Otherwise, awesome buy :)Cheers.Bought these to replace the Nimbus 19 that I’ve put hundreds of happy miles into. This was immediately a different feel, it’s much firmer for what is supposed to be a cushioned trainer.I’ve now put close to 100 miles on these, including a 15 mile run at the weekend, and these are bit strange in that at times they’re fine but at others there’s just no feeling of shock absorption which makes them hard on the knees and feet. I’m also getting running under the ankle that I’ve never had in a Nimbus before. Ultimately I’m now waiting on a pair of the 22, as Asics have apparently rectified the hard ride of the 21. Next time I’ll make sure I read/watch some actual reviews before purchasing.Update: I’ve put nearly 20 miles into the Nimbus 22 now and it's a light and day difference to the 21. That lovely soft ride that I had with the 19 is back, and gone is the awful hard ride of the 21.I’d recommend to avoid these like the plague and either source a pair of the 19 or new 22 instead.Bought for a chef with plantar fasciitis and seems to have completely sorted his aching feet. Very happy with the purchase. Bought 8.5 extra wide although was sent 9 extra wide but they fit very well with a little extra room.Only complaint is they arrived in a bit of a battered box which was a shame as giving as a gift.Der Schuh kam Amazon like pünktlich bei mir an. Habe ihn heute gleich mal probegelaufen. Perfekt. Gemischte Strecke Teer/Waldweg.Zur Acics Größendiskusion:War etwas verunsichert welche Größe ich nehmen sollte. Habe in allen anderen Asics Laufschuhen 46 2/3, also 29,5 cm. Habe ihn erstmal nur etwas größer bestellt, 47 =30cm. Und siehe da er passte perfekt, mit Luft nach vorne. Also wer schon andere Asics hat, sollte ihn etwas größer bestellen. Bei meinem Fuß hat es eine 1/2 Größe ausgemacht. Er fällt also bei mir gegenüber anderen Asics Modellen geringfügig kleiner aus.I wear them about two hours a day, and i find them very comfortableall good
