My first running shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ASICS Gel Nimbus 26 is hands down my favorite running shoe! From the moment I slipped them on, I knew they were special. The cushioning is next level—soft and supportive, without feeling too bulky. I’ve put in miles, and they still feel like new, providing amazing comfort and stability. The upper is breathable, and I love how the shoe fits snugly around my foot, giving me a secure feel without any tightness. Whether I’m going for a short jog or a long run, these shoes have been reliable every time. The Gel Nimbus 26 is definitely a must-have for anyone who values comfort and durability in their runs.

Like running on clouds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always stuck with ASICS for running shoes as you can always trust them. I have quite wide feet and these fit just nice. The bounce in them is insane! Feels like I’m running on clouds. Really pleased with them

Pain free running
Originally posted on asics.co.uk
Yes, I recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After breaking my hip and having a dynamic hip screw fitted, I honestly thought my running days were over. Every step in my old shoes sent jarring pain straight through my damaged hip - it was unbearable. Then I discovered the Nimbus 26 shoes, and they've been nothing short of life-changing. These shoes have an exceptional shock absorption system that has allowed me to return to running completely pain-free! The cushioning technology seems to absorb all the impact that would normally travel up through my hip, creating a floating sensation that protects my damaged joint. The support is well balanced - substantial enough to provide stability for my recovery but not so rigid that it restricts natural movement. Even on longer runs, my hip remains comfortable with none of the aching aftermath I experienced with other "supportive" shoes. If you're recovering from a hip injury or surgery like my dynamic hip screw procedure, I cannot recommend the Nimbus 26 highly enough. They've quite literally gotten me back on my feet and running again when I thought, and told my doctors, those days were behind me. Worth every penny for the pain-free mobility they've restored to my life!

Gel Nimbus == Cloud Feet
Originally posted on asics.co.uk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are awesome. They feel incredible to wear. They support my feet really well and have just the right amount of bounce. The only reason why I gave them a four and not a five is because of the colour-way I chose (all black). They look a little boring, but that’s on me not on the shoes!

Mesh uppers are not fit for purpose
Originally posted on asics.co.uk
No, I don't recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extrememly comfortable for the most part, although I do still get sore feet from pounding the pavements for anything over about 10km. The soles are very durable and still have lots of grip even after 600km. My only issue with the '26' is that every pair I've had has gotten a hole in the toes after less than 200km.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I saw these trainers on Instagram when an influencer recommended them. I was nervous about spending so much but I'm really glad I did because I've now worn them to the gym several times and can confirm they are great! I'm not a fan of running at all but these honestly make it so much more enjoyable to use the treadmill! Really comfy, really cushioned, loads of support for my feet and ankles. My partner wants a pair now!

Nimbus 25 won over Nimbus 26 in comfort to wear

No, I don't recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased Gel- Nimbus 25, Gel- Nimbus 26 for my daily activity and training. Nimbus 25 won this race as most comfortable trainers. Nimbus 26 hurts my foot after 2 hours of wear. There in Nimbus 25 I can run all day and dont feel any fatigue. Hopefully, Nimbus 27 will be improved model
