I'm glad to see that Asics put rubber in the side as opposed to the arches where most supinate . Sometimes, even when running slowly or walking, I felt I needed some support on that area where just the tick huge foam was not enough to give me the comfort and a bit more stability I was feeling that I needed.

For me the Nimbus 26 has a little bit of a firmer feel compared to the 25. I felt that my feet were sinking when I tried the 25 but both versions felt good on my feet. I chose the 26 just because of that little bit firmer feel. So far I have ran 37 km on my Nimbus 26 and I am loving it. 😊

Went from 24’s to 25’s. 25’s are a little bit narrower and crush my feet (24’s were great). Also the new bigger stack height removed all feeling with the road. I now feel a bit of a marshmallow effect (maybe it’ll compress ?). Overly stable and stop proper ankle rotation. Kind of wanting to get something a bit more responsive and not over engineered.

I liked the 25s but they did not breathe in the humidity this summer. Tough call heading into winter weather to get them on sale or try the 26.
@RavenBlackCry9 ай бұрын
Indeed this shoe is very hot, even in winter feels hot, (no ventilation?) but perfect for long easy runs, as it is comfortable, but it sabotages fast pace runs (since the foot sinks and shoe is heavy and more effort is needed).

Unfortunately, the 25 were too soft. If you are a heavier person or someone who pronates, the 25 weren't good for long term. I've been wearing the Nimbus line up for 18 years, the best they've done in my eyes were the 11, 18, 20 & 23. The 25 had a lot of pros, but they need it to be slightly stiffer in the mid foot. Maybe add the roll bar or shank back? Completely neutral, is "too neutral."

I get a fatigued dull sort of slight pain in my midfoot in the Nimbus 25 it makes me feel that the midfoot is not wide enough. That said, this has happened in most of the Nimbus I've owned even the wide width. Nothing a little break in time didn't fix. I love my 25's. They are very similar to the New Balance newest 1080 in my humble opinion.

Nimbus 25 was a bit of a disappointment for me personally. I may have expected too much however because of glowing overhyped reviews. Narrow toebox, kinda stuffy/hot, and even though less than 50 miles on them, I already see a lot of wear on the outsole. Never felt/understood what reviewers felt so comfy about them myself. Sounds like they slightly improved all the complaint areas but too late for me, Superblast all day everyday for me, but I guess ASICS wouldn’t care they cannabalized sales of one shoe with a more expensive shoe for one single customer… lol. Wonder when superblast 2, because superblast could be improved with a better heel lock imo and better outsole although I still like them and think they’re the best shoes I’ve ever tried.

I have v25 and it's very comfortable but too soft and bulky for anything over 6 miles. If I get another max cushion shoe for next year, it will probably be the Novablast as that is lighter and less squishy. Right now, I'm really enjoying the Noosa Tri 14 for its light weight and geometry, which fits my mechanics very well.
