ASICS Men's Gel-Nimbus Lite 2 Running Shoes

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.

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!

great running shoes. fits well and the speed laces are a great addition.

200 lbs athletic, tall, size 13, wide-ish forefoot, slight underpronation heel to mid foot striker -- these fit the bill for when you want a super pillowy ride and very flexible front to rear and side to side feel with less structure.Very, very soft cushioning throughout. I thought the cushioning might be a bit too soft and tire out my calves. I can happily say though that after putting in 5 miles on the first run I had no complaints. I barely even thought about my runners after a few minutes -- which is good. I wasn't going to set any records in them but I felt as if I could easily pick up the pace when I wanted to. No Achilles issues. I run with running-specific socks with the tab in the back that covers my Achilles so that may have helped with the issues that others reported and prevented any chafing. No pressure points or hotspots either.Great shoe for big runners with neutral gates that aren't trying to be especially fast and just want to run and forget about their footwear while they do.UPDATE: At 90 miles they're still going strong with no issues whatsoever. They are now my go-to trainer. Still as comfortable as on day 1!

True to size, lightweight running shoe. Although the sole looks thick it’s pretty light so it probably won’t last many years of pounding pavement but great shoe for the price!

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.

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.

The price was right, and I needed new running shoes. I've been running in ASICS my whole life. The one thing I can always depend on is the size and fit. I'm a size 7 and they fit just like they should. The only minor negatives, and I think this is true of all shoes, is the insoles are relatively worthless for cushioning and support. Plan on buying replacements. Also true of most shoes, is you will wear these out in no time. The materials, weight and upper coverings are all very light and that means you lose durability. Look around for last years model of shoes and you'll save $$.

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.
