Best praise vs top criticism for Asics Gel-Nimbus 27
“Just did my first run in Gel Nimbus 27's. I bought them for the easy zone 2/3 recovery runs and when I just want to get some distance in without worrying about speed and they seem perfect for it, the 10k just floated by! I think they're also pretty comfortable for walking, would gladly get a pair for that if I didn't think them to be so god ugly”
“Recently tried the Nimbus 27. Super soft with a wide toe box. I’m not a scientist, but I think they’re causing my shin splints. They weigh a ton.”
