Ok, so I was a devoted HOKA buyer, when last month in Europe the sole fell off my shoe. Found a shoe store in Versailles and the owner talked me into buying the very beat up pair on the left. They are beat up because we went to France, the Netherlands, holland, and England. We walked our faces off. Now, I do have MS, but I have great mobility, but what I don’t have are good arches. These shoes were such a blessing. So much so, I just bought a second pair to “wear out” as the first are beat up. Only complaint. I only found 2 colors for the nimbus 26. Bonus points for being named just like the Harry Potter Nimbus broom. No seriously, these shoes feel amazing and my knees and hips don’t ache.

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2024
Size: 11.5 WideColor: Blue Expanse/Aurora GreenVerified Purchase
I have to stand on concrete floors for work for up to 8 hours and needed more cushion in my shoes. I was previously wearing On Cloud’s cloud monsters, but had issues with the narrowness of the toe box, and the way the heels began to collapse and outsoles began to tear in the same place of each shoe after less than a year. After reading reviews, I sized up a half size and ordered a wide, even though I don’t typically need a wide shoe. With sizing up and wide they fit well. The padding all around in these shoes is amazing and these may be the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn. I use them with custom insoles because I have arthritis in my feet and they have been great. These are definitely more cushioned than the On Clouds I was wearing previously and have taken away the foot and ankle pain I was having after prolonged standing. I ordered the Blue Expanse/Aurora Green and was hoping the color would be slightly darker than they are in person but I can live with the color. As a former long distance runner, I’m not sure I’d want to wear these as a running shoe because you really sink into the cushioning in the soles. I can see how it would make running feel like more work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Comfort level varies from shoe to shoe …….
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
Size: 8Color: Thunder Blue/SapphireVerified Purchase
I purchased a pair of ASICS gel nimbus 26 in the white color on February 20, 2024 from Amazon after trying these on in Dick’s Sporting goods and falling in love with the comfy cushioning. Couldn’t be happier with this pair of shoes! I am on my feet most of the day at work. Decided to purchase a second pair from Amazon in the thunder blue color on April 5, 2024. Initially trying them on I got the feeling that they were not quite as cushioned as the first pair. I thought maybe they would soften up after a bit. Well they haven’t and I’m very disappointed that the comfort level is no where near the first pair. I can walk around with one of each pair on and definitely feel a big difference in comfort . I paid full price. I tried going through the ASICS warrant to get a replacement. After days of emailing back and forth I was told that it was a “fit and feel” issue and that is not covered by the warranty. I will not be buying ASICS again and I’ve switched to the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v13 and have learned they are much more cushioned and comfy for standing at work. I believe there was an issue with the insole or midsole of the ASICS and the company would not listen. I’m very dissatisfied with the customer service at ASICS. So I guess make sure they feel right when you first try them on. Lesson learned ☹️

The feel of the Nimbus 26s are SO comfortable. Walking or running (I’m training for a half marathon) these are the way to go! So many runners have told me they are a great go-to and long lasting and soft - I would say even bouncy because of the squishy sole. LOVE the feel of them. However, the color in the pictures on the website and amazon are off. I thought these would be more of a rose/light pink color and they were very purple. Check reviews to get a feel for real coloring! I had to send these back and order a different color. Love them after getting my right color!

Just recieved. If you are bigger chested this is not a good supporting bra. The straps are unadjustable and made of fabric that stretches. I'm going to keep it as a "kicking around the house bra"...but definitely wouldn't wear it out because of the lack of support.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn in my life.
It is like walking on a cloud.
