Review on πŸ‘Ÿ ASICS Women's GEL-Nimbus 20 Running Shoe: Ultimate Comfort and Performance for Female Runners by Charlene Davis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but not the best of women

I literally have six pairs of Nimbus 18s which are the best running shoes out there for the money. I am a high arch devotee and its cushioning and support is amazing. Unfortunately, the Nimbus 19 introduced a redesign with a smaller toe box and less cushioning. I tried buying a half size up to improve the fit but that meant the heel slipped. With great regret I sent them back. Was thrilled to see the 20's being marketed as a 'new improved fit' and the toe box is slightly larger but still too tight. To make matters worse, the "cloud walking" cushioning is gone and replaced with an insole very similar to the cheaper Asics models. I have a pair of GT1000s and they were the only ones I could find in black at the time. They're good, but not great. This shoe feels the same. They're ok and if they were cheaper I'd keep them, but they're not worth $160. Sooo sad, apparently Asics took away my favorite shoes.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Not everything fits
