Favorite Women's Running Shoes - especially if you used to like Asics Gel Nimbus pre 2020

[Anonymous]

Looking for recs for running shoes.

I used to love Asics gel nimbus, but somewhere around 2018 maybe, they made some big changes to the shoe and wearing them gave me significant foot pain. They changed quite a bit in the toe box especially.

I've since tried a few other Asics, and Brooks ghost, but nothing is as good and supportive as how Asics used to be. Mostly want the shoes for running treadmill and outside.

Thanks for any suggestions!!

For the past few years I've liked Asics Gel Kayana. I feel your pain of having to find new shoes when they change the shoe every year. Why can't they just keep it the same?

Exactly. They were my favorite, I bought 4 pairs a year!! Don't have any idea why they changed them, everyone i knew who liked them had no complaints

I'll try those, thanks.

I feel the same frustration. The gel nimbus was my favorite as well. FWIW, the gel Kayana doesn’t work for me unfortunately. I have not run much since my last pair of nimbus gave out.

The search continues.

I love Kayanos but that’s because I overpronate. Nimbus is for a neutral foot. I’d try something else in that category first. If it doesn’t work, I’d switch brands and go for a neutral shoe.

I switched to Kayanos as well but I keep getting blisters around my left ankle. Mine are off-white and now I have a permanent blood stain on my shoe.
