my penis grew 3 inches after i started wearing them
What were you wearing before the Nimbus? It would be extremely rare for a shoe to cause torn muscles unless it were the total opposite of what you had used previously... and even then, it wouldn't be so likely. I couldn't imagine that you could even run enough after the first incident to tear a muscle 2 more times in less than 5 months.
the cushioning in the nimbus shoe is so heavy that for some people who are used to a less cushioned shoe...which is pretty much everything on the market....it can cause some serious problems similar to the ones that you are experiencing. If i were you i would try the Landreth if you are into asics, it is lighter and less cushioned, but honestly from what you are saying it would be better for your legs. Just because a shoe is the most expensive and heavily cushioned, doesnt mean that it is necessarily better for you as an individual.
I had calf problems and wearing the Nimbus fixed them.
Initially I did have some soreness in the upper calf and the muscle took time to strengthen.
However I have had some Itbs problems which started about 2 years after the switch to the Nimbus.
It is doubtful that they are a contributing cause to the Itbs.
I would seek out a podiatrist and do a treadmill test and go with his/her recommendation.
Good luck.
