Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus Lite 2 Running Shoes

Male 5'7" 165 lbs, size 9. I am a long time everyday runner but also spend time at the gym and hence the body wieght. For me the Gel Nimbus Lite 2 is a shoe with bounce that almost instantly has me running at a much faster pace than the Nimbus Gel 23 ( a great easy day shoe). Of course the architecture between the two is entirely different save perhaps for the FlyteFoam midsole. The ride is much firmer but still very well damped for higher speeds and has bouce that returns energy to your stride. Although a neutral shoe and lighter in construction the Gel Nimbus Lite 2 does have a degree of stability designed into the midsole. It is comfortable, well cushioned for faster days and seems like it will last for many miles. I like this shoe and will add it to my running shoe rotation. I would buy it again. The quality of the ride was a pleasant surprise.

These are my first ever pair of ASICS shoes. I bought them as a recommendation from a friend who runs long distance event constantly. I tried running with other shoes and had knee pain after 10 minutes. But not with these! They are light and very cushioned, super comfortable! I know there is a lot that goes into play to fit and comfort as it is a very individual thing. I can say they worked wonders in my case. They run true to size and are very light and breathable.

Solid performance

I had read some negative reviews on these "ASICS Men's Gel-Nimbus Lite 2 Running Shoes". Being I'm a snob about shoes I'm very happy with the build quality fit and finish of this shoes. I like the extra wide soles since I have weak ankles from playing sport when I was young. The shoes are very light and will break in nicely. They fit like they we're custom made for my feet. For years I wore New Balance exclusively. But I ha e seen that brand quality fade. I have another pair of Asics that are about $100 more then these. And they are close. The question is how will these hod up over time. I struggle to find shoes because I refuse anything with white. The teal on these are blue teal and the picture on Amazon it accurate. I recommend them for comfort and value. If you need extra comfort. Go with Asics Nimbus 24 or better. Never go cheap on shoes. You will pay for it later.

awesome shoes... 3rd pair

Consistent great Asics quality. VERY comfortable. Reasonably priced & highly cushioned Nimbus style with special LITE flair. Would def. buy from again ... & I have quite the collection. This pair really stands out with beautiful colors and materials that POP!

So far, it's very good; it allows me to use my orthotics without discomfort.

I used to wear the regular Gel-Nimbus when I was running half marathons. I got out of running for quite a while but getting back into in short distances through sprint triathlons. I bought a pair of the Gel-Nimbus Lite 2 and I absolutely love running in these shoes. I do have some problems with arches but my feet feel great in these shoes. They have the right amount of cushioning, which is important since I have lower back and knee issues as well. I will definitely keep buying these shoes for doing the running distances that I do.

Nice and light. Much lighter than Nimbus 25

My third pair of Asics gel nimbus, and I've got to say that they are probably the most comfortable model that I've had. I can't give a comment on running any more because of serious joint injuries and relative old-age, but I do know that I love the shoes, and I'm sure you will as well.
