Use any running app. I use garmin connect to track my runs and shoes mileage.
I have nimbus 25 almost 900km done so far. No complaints as such so far, so maybe I should upgrade to 26 only.
I haven't tried nimbus 25 so not sure how different it is from 26. I think the latest one is 27, but you can get 26 if you're getting in a discount.
I really love these shoes and how they feel so it bums me out that my toe pokes through over time.
2 extra holes are to tie runners knot so heel doesn't slip out while running and toe don't crash in front of shoe
As usual they always suggest kayano to every other customer. Most of the sellers there do not know anything about running. Choosing the best running shoes is kind of a hit and trial.
The nimbus provides excellent cushioning and feels like walking on clouds. Get the nimbus if your goal is not running fast and just doing distance. They’re an amazing choice for running
If going for long distance running then no doubt pick nimbus 26
Damn, that's a good deal. Who's got that? NB and Running Warehouse were both at $200 on 20% off sale.
I've been considering the Nimbus (25 or 26; looking at a few deals) for a long slow run shoe. ... Only downside I've read is that it can be slippery in wetter conditions or on leaves e.g.
Just got home to my Nimbus 27!! They feel so great. Dicks Sporting Goods for 82.99! The caveat is the price is only available for the Amber color. 100% would never buy this color but couldn’t beat th
The shoes are now available for an even lower price than this incase anyone is interested
Yes it good daily driver I use it for walk and causally running
It looks nice but these are made to be used daily, running and walking. The colourway is good too.
