1st of all you are my go 2 channel whenever i purchase shoes. I just bought the NB v13 .The shoe feels at home at slow paces since the lack of responsiveness means that whenever you try to pick up the pace you have to hit the pavement much harder and i ended up with sore legs. Also there is an issue with sizing ,i initially purchased the same size i have on the rebel v3 which turned out to be big so i went half size down which is a bit short lengthwise, (its actually spot on but i do prefer shoes with a bit more room )
I have put in 62.3 miles (yes I had to check strava) in the 1080V13 so far , and as a runner who is always between 80-90kg depending on where I am in training I find the foam in the shoe a welcome contridiction , For me there are two area's where this show excels. 1: low upper zone 1/ low zone 2 (as stated here the recovery area). 2: strides and hill sprints where when I put some serious / fast twitch force into each step; The foam then rebounds very well. It will not beat a dedicated fast shoe or a barefoot shoe, but it is still enjoyable.
Loved the color on the NB❤
8:58 that’s how I felt when I tried the 25’s. They felt sort of unnatural or something kinda like they just weren’t built to my feet’s dimensions - the 1080 feel almost like they were custom or something.
Every preson has a different shoe anatomy. I loved both Gel Numbis 26 (1/2 size down) and 1080 V13 (true to size) they were both comfortable but 1080 V13 fit better like a glove and felt more natural when walking. They were softer too and that feels good.
Nimbus 26 has to be #1 shoe mad comfy and ankle is so protected. A bit better looking than 1080 imo
The way the nimbus upper tongue and heel hug my feet is miles better than any other brand out there. After testing all its still no.1 the midsole is fantastic and competes vs other brands best mids aswell but where they separate from the rest is quality and design of the uppers
Nick, I think I've seen you post it before but what do you use to keep your glasses in place whilst running? Mine seem to be getting loose on runs at the moment
It’s the longer hooks from this pack, I’ll stick it in the monthly round-up this month to make it clearer amzn.eu/d/ho4uS77
@@TheRunTesters Thanks 👍
I’m a big guy who isn’t a runner - bad feet/joints etc. I’ve already said many times - if you are looking for 1 of these for casual wear maybe running errands or going shopping, going somewhere for a full day Disneyland type stuff - the 1080v13 is absurd. I’ve never felt anything so soft. I had no idea shoes could be so soft to be honest. I had the 1080v12 and they were good except for the front of the shoe just didn’t quite have enough cushion towards the ball of my foot. Was probably fine for most but for my messed up feet - they would just get a bit sore there. Not in the 13’s. I’m still shocked to be honest. I haven’t tried the Nimbus 26 but the 1080v13 miles softer than the 25. I need wide sizes so when I can I’ll be picking up a few more pairs here in Oz.
Random but how much u weigh? I’m 6’5 250 and nimbus 25 have been real good for my feet
@@xf5236 ….. 300 pounds 😮😮 I’ve had health troubles that started from arthritis. When I first saw a specialist I was 235 (I’m a big guy even in shape) medications have fucked me up - but without them I can’t walk (anti inflammatory steroids) the Nimbus 25 were soft under foot but a bit more stability feeling for me? And that actual shoe itself wasn’t a great fit 🤷♂️ but I should be clear - it’s me not the shoes. If you saw my toes you wouldn’t be able to finish dinner 😂😂 I’m gonna try the 26’s they look great. I’m so happy to have the 1080’s though - not perfect but for me amazing (and again the not perfect part is definitely me not the shoes)
I had planter fasciitis and had to wear hoka bondis. They worked. Anyway, I had several pair of the 1080v13 and love them. However, today I bought the Nimbus 26 and was blown away at how comfortable they are. I only had them on for 10 minutes but they feel way better than the 1080’s. Im shook haha
@@panhandlemtb4308 oh shit ima have to try them. I think from memory size vs size the 25 are actually a touch lighter than the gel nimbus 26?? But in hand when I felt them they felt a lot lighter in hand 🤷♂️ I found the 25 to be not as soft/comfortable as the 1080’s but the gel nimbus 25 just wasn’t a great fit as well the shoe itself didn’t have a good feel. I haven’t had the chance to try the 26’s yet when I do I’m coming back here to report 😂😂
@@xf5236 I’m 6 feet…. 300 pounds 😮 before I got sick and started medication (prednisone - don’t ever ducking take it) I was about 220. I’m a pretty big guy pretty wide pretty thick but medications have murdered me - but they keep me able to walk 🤷♂️ ridiculous cycle.
You guys do a lot of videos on the nimbus.
Nice Mercedes A-Class AMG Line Keiran!
Would you consider Brooks Glycerin 20 in the mix? I recently bought them and wanted to see if I should keep them and get Nimbus instead.
Good idea!! Personally I was very disappointed in the Glycerin 20 after all the glowing reviews, I think previous Glycerins were better but I seem to be in the minority there!
@@bev9708 Thanks for your feedback. What did you end up replacing 20's with? I still have few days left before I can return them. I will do a small treadmill run and if they don't feel great, I will try to look into other options.
@@nolimit7185 Consider the NB More V4 too , ´cause it’s FABULOUS if you want a highly cushioned daily trainer/recovery shoe, with some really awesome deals too these days … I got my pair for only €78!!!
@@nolimit7185 I answered you yesterday but it’s disappeared from my feed here!🤷🏻♀️ I found a fab deal on the NB More V4, only €78!!! And I absolutely LOVE them , but if I wanna mix it up a bit, easy to tempo runs, my absolute favourites are the Adidas Boston 12 🥰 and the Saucony Triumph 20🥰!!
which shoe better for heel pain and plantar fascitis? im working in the hospital 12 hour shift. what type of shoes can you recommend? thank you
I have the same exact question. I hope someone answers this soon.b
I can't believe how noisy the nimbus 26 is compared to the 25. I've never turned so many heads when running!
Put some wd40 on the outsole
😂Could be a good thing, I tended to accidentally frighten people coming up behind them so I have to cough or hit the ground really hard!
Softer and less weight works better for me. That said, I'll pass the Nimbus 26
Hmmm...that nimbus 26 is crazy soft.
1080 ❤❤❤❤❤
guys would be great to know if you are heavy runners, like weight wise, i guess too much cushion for a light weight runner is not great? i am 100kg with back probs and i need max cushon..
isn't the nimbus to be compared with the NB Vmore? I don't unedrstand this comparison.
I was thinking the same, but the updates to the 1080 have pretty much turned it into the More we both know by the sounds of things. Other reviewers noted how comparable the 1080 was to the More
Other instead say that the 1080 Is a daily trainer. I think that there should be a better common categorization between testers and shoes.
@@francescober Totally agree with you 👍
The 1080 v13 is the bounciest shoe I’ve ever tried on…I never thought I’d say it but they were tooo bouncy and I felt like I was going to roll my ankle, plus it’s so squishy my heel sunk down and I had a negative drop
@@jonny8547 Great point! This is so subjective however. I never feel shoes that are described as being unstable are as extreme as described and foams are never as soft as they are claimed to be, to me. I weigh 57kg and have strong as heck ankles.
Reviews that factor this type of thing in are golden
I can’t make decision…
Which one is better Nimbus 25 / Nimbus 26 / New Balance More V4 / New Balance 1080 V13
For walking 5 hours a day with flat foot?
I work 8 hours on feet nimbus 25 is amazing and it’s on sale now I got 2 pairs
Same decision to make, i only tried on, the nb more v4 and they were amazing, but didnt have my size
For flat foot get Kayano 30
I was between the kayano and the nimbus 26, ended up with the nimbus 26 racked up 18 miles over 2 days at Disney and I never felt more comfortable. I went with extra wide since I’m flat footed with really wide feet they fit like a dream and the comfort was life changing. I’m 5’9 350lbs
Go with nimbus 26
asics is of course better, but people prefer good looking running shoes 😂
Totally agree, Asics can't be matched for upper quality and comfort, and amazing ffblast+ midsole
Glazing is crazy. I still think it’s subjective and comparable
How the shoes look is pretty much my primary decision 😂
Yes 24 and 25 better
Dude might as well be speaking French. Can't understand more than half of his words.
Skill issue.
Stick to your "Oh my god, Stacy!" accent speaking people 😂.
