We Recommend
Designed For Underpronation Neutral

Underpronation
-
Foot Type
High arches -
Push Off
The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot. -
Considered Injuries
Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain. -
How your foot contacts the ground
The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.

Neutral
-
Foot Type
Normal size arches -
Push Off
There is even distribution from the front of the foot. -
Considered Injuries
Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury. -
How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
The GEL-NIMBUS® 23 running shoe continues to offer excellent comfort and long-run impact absorption. Its improved stability provides a more balanced stride that's followed by smoother transitions. Constructed with comfort and breathability in mind, this shoe features a softer engineered mesh design for long runs. Engineered eyelet shaping helps the upper move more naturally with the foot, while a stretchy midfoot panel appropriately hugs the foot to generate better flexibility. Additionally, the shoe's upper is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions. Providing the runner with excellent shock absorption and softness, the GEL-NIMBUS® 23 delivers more compression in the heel thanks to its softer GEL® technology cushioning unit and contoured design lines. Also, a gender-specific TRUSSTIC™ device provides an articulated amount of support in the right direction for men and women to help generate a smooth transition. Under the toe, the inclusion of gender-specific pillars help cushion the body and help runners experience a softer feel. Simultaneously, the OrthoLite™ X-55 sockliner equips runners with a forgiving, yet responsive stride. The components of the GEL-NIMBUS® 23 shoe help increase the softness without forgoing the integrity of the shoe's ride. Our 23rd version of the GEL-NIMBUS® continues to make advancements within the lineage by offering improved support and comfort for distance runners.

Good shoe.
I'm a 51 year old Clydesdale. About 20 miles per week for last 20 years. Almost all my miles have been in ASICS. Have tried numerous models over the years and have settled on Nimbus now. Straight last and neutral control are spot on for me at this stage.

In a word, disappointing
In a word, disappointing.
These Gel Nimbus 23 are my 14th pair of Gel Nimbus, the prior had all been Gel Nimbus 22.
Although some noticeable improvement of cushioning in some areas, the overall template/footprint of the shoe has also noticeably changed.
The shoe was initially comfortable enough for casual wearing, and so my assessment was that they would be equally as comfortable for road work as the 22 had been.
Unfortunately, after a few miles on the road they begin to feel restrictive and uncomfortable, and not as generous regarding toe room feel as the 22 had been.
These are supposed to be size 9. I am barely a size 9 so I had assumed the room would be similar to that of the 22, but based on the feel, the footprint has either deviated too much from the prior model or there there is something inherently wrong with this pair of shoes.
I was going to go to the 24 next but am now concerned and skeptical that a global design change has made it so that Asics is no longer a shoe that I can confidently continue with.

Exceptional running shoes. Have worn the Nimbus for 10+ years. Tried other shoes, but nothing compares.

Comfortable shoe easily takes on hard dirt trails
Very comfortable shoe. I purchased this shoe because of the maximum cushion. I do intermittent walking and jogging on dirt trails and the shoe provides excellent comfort, with good balance that works well on the hard dirt trails.Comfortable shoe easily takes on hard dirt trails. My feet love these shoes!

Great shoe!
A little heavier than what I am used to, but extremely comfortable and cushiony. It has become my go to running shoe.
