Advice for Road Runners: The ASICS Women's Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoes offer the highest-level of underfoot cushioning. As a result, they should feel very comfortable.
The Blue Expanse/Bold Magenta colourway looks vibrant and athletic.
Underfoot Feel
A thick-layer of premium FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam offers amazing cushioning and lots of energy return. This means the midsole should feel very comfortable and dynamic.
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoes also have ultra-absorbent PureGEL™ cushioning in the heel area. The purpose of this is to soften landings.
You should expect very smooth transitions from landing to take-off. This is because the midsole is curved from heel-to-toe.
Upper Fit
There's no doubt the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoes' upper offers amazing comfort. A soft and stretchy knitted tongue and collar construction delivers an adaptive fit.
As the rest of the engineered stretch knit upper hugs the foot, it should feel supportive and breathable.
Ideal Run Type
Choose the ASICS Women's Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoes if you're looking for maximum-underfoot protection. It's likely this level of cushioning will feel very comfortable.
We recommend using the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoes for slower and steady paced runs. They should perform particularly well on longer distance runs. This is because the cushioning should help keep your muscles feeling fresher for longer.

Sizing Advice
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
