LOVE LOVE these shoes
This is my fourth pair of gel nimbus. These are lighter than the 26’s. The cushened ride is superb! Great for long runs. The lacing system is sturdy. They are a little clunky on short runs. Buy em! You won’t be disappointed!!

Great Running Shoe
Love this shoe. I took 15 seconds off my time. What I love the most at the end of 6 mile run I was not exhausted and felt great. Wonderful shoe.

Super comfy for all day wear
Love the cushion in these shoes. I don’t love the tag on the back as the shoes as some time my pants get stuck in front of it. The sole is very large so not super attractive but very comfortable.

Asics Gel Kayano
Asics Gel Kayano totally changed their shoes from last year. Sizing even in the past years was not correct causing me to wear a 9 1/2 W. This year Asics tried to correct sizing making the shoe more true to size putting me back into a 9 W. Now with the correction, even though the shoe seems to fit, I am beginning to get sores on the sides of my feet. Must now visit the podiatrist to have this shaved. The Wide sizes need to be slightly wider to accomodate. Fleet Feet is a Great place to buy. Hope this helps someone.
