My fourth pair!
Simply the best for stability. Thanks to FF for fitting me for the right shoe. I trained and ran a marathon in them and continue to wear them. Heavier than comparable shoes but I keep coming back to them for quality, stability and support.

Tried & True Shoe!
I have worn this shoe for many years and models. I have tried other brands out of curiosity and always come back to the Asics Gel Nimbus. I have run races in these shoes and due to wear and tear on my joints, wear them for work while on my feet most of the day in healthcare. They are so comfortable and support my feet, knees and legs. The Gel Nimbus 27 are Amazing in my book!
