Review on ASICS Gel Nimbus Running Sulphur Spring Men's Shoes for Athletic by Tony Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Noticeable loss of quality

I've been wearing the Asics Gel Nimbus series to work for years. During that time, I went through the various changes that each new model year brought because they were still the best shoes for me to wear to work (I'm an RN). I typically have three pairs in circulation and swap them out no more than once a year, usually because I feel like that's a reasonable swap cycle given what I wear them for. Other times, of course, I've replaced her due to work-related accidents, a side effect of the often chaotic side of nursing. In all my years of ownership I have never had to change a pair due to poor workmanship. This pair literally falls apart at the soles. The soles are peeling off and I have never experienced this in shoes in modern times. As much as I love this line of shoes, I'm sitting here wondering if it's time for me to explore other options. It may be limited to this model year only, or even just this batch, but am I willing to take the risk? I honestly do not know.

Pros
  • Top marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Volume
