[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best running shoes ever, very comfort and soft, I bought them to prepare and run my first half marathon. This is the second pair of same shoes I bought as I tried new model nimbus 27 but it was not soft as this one.

The BEST running shoe

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

My absolute favourite shoes - I have used Gel-Nimbus for years and every upgrade makes them even better. They are so comfy and have a relaxed neutral gate but with some bounce, ideal for both chilled and more pacy runs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great improvement on my gel cumulus - just as comfortable and springier and lighter. Can’t complain about a 5k PB the first time I wore them!

Great for daily jogging on all surfaces

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second time I’ve bought these trainers and highly recommend them; I’ve always liked ASICS but these are now my firm favourite. They’re stable, lightweight and the heel height gives good support all round including reducing pressure on the knees. I use them for short daily jogs (5km) on grass and pavement. They’re comfortable straight out the box - no rubbing on the ankle or at the front.

Simply the *best*

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair of these shoes, I love them so SO much. Freakishly comfortable for longer distances and easy runs, this is the ultimate workhorse of a shoe. They get me through the miles without foot soreness building up, or my shin splints flaring. The fit is perfect, like PERFECT. I have flat feet and narrow ankles, and they don't slip around or give me instep pain at all. Lowkey want to stockpile these runners in case they stop being made because I find it so hard to get a pair that doesn't cause pain. Anyway, you can pry these Gel-Nimbus out of my cold dead hands (or feet!) 😂

My first running shoes!

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

[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.

[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

Yes, I recommend this

[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!
