Asics | Women’s Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoes – Sapphire

Advice for Road Runners: The Asics Women’s Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoes are designed to provide maximum comfort. These neutral premium running shoes are best for road runs at slow to moderate speeds.

Underfoot Feel

The majority of the midsole is made of Asics’ FF Blast+ ECO foam. This is Asics most energetic foam, providing lots of softness. 

The rearfoot contains PureGEL. If you are familiar with Asics’ visible GEL technology, you may be interested in the fact that PureGEL is lighter and 65% softer.

The outsole design should produce improved softness and better grip.

In summary, the result of the midsole and outsole combination is very high levels of soft cushioning.

Upper Fit

In keeping with the experience provided by midsole, the upper – with its knit collar construction – provides very high levels of comfort.

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.
