Uncomfortable shoe
The shoe is very uncomfortable causing pain on the top of the foot where the foot meets the ankle. I am also very disappointed in the color as the shoe color is closer to pink than red.

BEST CUSHIONED NEUTRAL RUNNING SHOE EVER
Cushion made on heavenly clouds! Not exagerating...I have ran many many miles in NB Fresh Foam V3 and believed NB were softer than Hoka's Stinson 5 & 6. THEN this experience with Asics Gel Nimbus 27 proved to be a cushioning level in league of its own. WOW....cushy, light and responsive. I normally run in Men size 9.5 but had to size-down 1/2 size and the 9's fit perfectly. Best road shoes ever! I highly recommend this running shoe and paired mine with Xpand laces for a superior fit. You will LOVE these.

Best running shoe but long for traditional design
Have run in ASICS Nimbus for over 20 years. Really dislike the transition to the “marshmallow” soles like Hoka running shoes. Also noticed that the soles are slippery on a wet surface. The 2025 model had many odd color combos. Shoes work great for all around training and distance running. Will keep buying but hoping ASICs will revert to more traditional sole design and colors.

Bad sole!
Not even a month after received, and the sole started cracking apart after several long runs. They were light and comfortable while they lasted.

ASICS doesn’t back their products
I am a repeat Nimbus wearer. This pair has a flaw in the heel which has caused a blister after minimal wear. ASICS will not honor warranty. Extremely disappointed. Moving on to Hokas.
