It was too squishy for me personally. Felt like I really had to try and pick my feet up. Not very responsive.

Doesn't using running or max cushioned shoes for regular use weaken the foot muscles in the long run?

Major issue with the design of the 2025 Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 Models : Pebble Vacuum ... something has changed in the design of the 27 (2025) models.

For me, the GN 27 have been literally perfect. Yes they’re a little heavy I suppose, but my feet/body overall feels perfect while running and perfect after.

I did a week with them and decided I needed to return them after that. The inner parts of my feet hurt, and it only got better once I stopped running.

Right now my favorite is the Novablast 5 followed by the Nimbus 27. But it's really close. I could be happy with any of them as my "one and only".

I love the nimbus 27 and can run a marathon in them if i wanted to. The difference in comfort and fit is astronomical for me.

Nimbus are great for walking and relaxed runs.
r/AskRunningShoeGeekspositive1
I used the Nimbus for my long/recovery runs. ... I liked the Nimbus better for longer runs because they're more stable, which is helpful when your legs are tired.
r/AskRunningShoeGeekspositive1
I tried both on at the running store and the Nimbus just felt more comfortable. I’ve been very happy with them since then.
