In Testing

I've long been an Asics fan, but the Nimbus series never quite clicked with me – until the Nimbus 28. I'm thrilled to say this latest iteration has won me over with its exceptional comfort and lightness.

As a mild overpronator, I typically opt for mid-stability or neutral shoes, and the Nimbus 28 delivers with its exceptional technology providing subtle support while the generous cushioning takes care of my comfort needs. I've found it to be my go-to shoe for effortless road runs, and I've even made it my default for easy miles.

Verdict

In conclusion, the Asics Gel Nimbus 28 is an excellent choice if you have a fairly neutral gait. A great choice if you also love maximum cushioning, as well as general comfort on your long runs and walks.
