Review on πŸƒ Unbeatable Performance and Comfort: ASICS Women's Gel-Nimbus 19 Running Shoe by Kara Torres

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The "D " model is no wider than the Nimbus 18!

Hello! I'm late with this review but I had to write about this product! As a big fan of Nimbus running shoes, I buy one or more pairs of the same Nimbus Asics model that has been released since the Nimbus 14. This is every six months or less often as I run 3-4 times a week. Since I already know my Nimbus shoe size, I always buy from Revain without trying it on. As with the Nimbus 18s I bought last October, I bought this new version in February to have an extra pair and because it takes longer to release new models in Brazil. Another reason I buy them in the US and not Brazil is because I wear 9.5D (wider) and this particular model doesn't ship to Brazil. Here we find only 9.0 or 10 and only normal width (only B). The problem with this new Nimbus 19 is that the wider model (D) that I always buy is NOT wider! This is already the case with the D Nimbus 18 model, for example. My feet are cramped in the shoe. Worn 3 times and given up. I only wear old Nimbus 18s that I bought in October until I get a new one. I don't know if the problem is in the 19 model itself or if it's a bug and the label was wrong. I took some photos to compare the two models to visually show the difference between them. I don't know if it's possible to return them because I live in Brazil and my only chance of getting another one is next May when my husband is in San Diego (not Florida where these were delivered). I would like to know if the problem is with the Asics 19 Nimbus model (so buying a different one won't help) or if this particular pair came with the wrong tag. Can you please tell me if it can be returned instead of this new 19 or exchanged for a Nimbus 18? see a big difference in width between the soles. and we can see that the inner tags are the same size (9.5) and width (D is wider for women). Thanks for your time.
