I run typically 60-65 miles a week with 90% of it being on pavement and the Gel Nimbus 25 are the superior mileage shoe. Much better and durable then the Nike Invincible line of shoes. Little bit of a pop from the shoe as well during the first 300 miles.
This shoe is so much better than previous versions it has the good things most like about hoka but not as stiff and ridged.
The Nimbus 25 is a very confortable shoe, good cushion, even though is a bit heavy but I prefer the train with heavy shoes and race with lighter ones
This is a great shoe for my body. First of all, I have a narrow heal but wider forefoot and I have a flat, very flexible foot so my foot cannot tolerate any correction so this neutral shoe works great for me. Also, I struggle with IT band syndrome and this shoe has a higher heal so it prevents a hard heal strike which aggrevates my IT band. The cushioning isn't great so I feel the impact more than other shoes but I haven't found another shoe that works for me while also provides excellent cushioning.
These shoes are awesome and super soft. They are the most cushioned shoes I have ever run in. While these are super comfortable they are definitely a recovery or easy run shoe and probably would not do well with any speed work. They also don't have much grip but that is ok when going easy.
Great run right from the start....no "burning" or running-in period. I ran a 21km straight away....
Great shoe for daily runs. Too expensive as most shoes are today. Especially cushioned and stable for heavier older runner
Could live in this shoe
10/10
