Asics Gel-Nimbus 28

Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size across all testers. Narrow last: runners with wide feet report toe irritation and should consider the wide version.

Feel

Full but firm cushioning, denser than soft. The weight reduction and narrower midsole compared to the 27 make it more responsive underfoot, though without appreciable energy return.

Durability

Expected mileage around 500 mi. Outsole with partially exposed midsole in the midfoot zone; even wear after 150 km of testing. AHAR+ rubber at the heel for high-wear areas.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy runs, recovery days, and long runs. Recommended for runners 154 lb and up. Also works as an all-day everyday shoe thanks to extended comfort.

Weak points

Price of $170–200 perceived as steep given the FF Blast+ foam, which most testers consider dated. Engineered knit upper breathability inadequate for warm climates.
