    For my fellow nurses, I just tried the More v4 at work and it did not work well for me. I often wear my old More v3, which is super comfy but the v4 felt like I was walking in sand all day because it was too mushy. I've also used some old Altra Torins and they are pretty good. The Nimbus 25, with its firmer foam and max cushioning looks like a great work shoe.

  • @Martha-fluterunner

    I have avoided buying a max cushion shoe all these years because every time I’ve tried them on they’ve felt either clumsy, awkward, unstable, heavy or dull. I’ve primarily used the Sauc. Speed 1 & 2 for my marathon training LR’s but now that I have better racing shoes in my collection I decided to try all the max cush options again to see if I could find one specifically for LSD & recovery. For my petite, light weight biomechanics, the Nimbus25 felt the most like a “normal” shoe of any I’ve tried and felt more lively than, eg., the More4. Most options either had some issue with the uppers that would annoy me-especially that long on my feet-or just didn’t work for me in one way or another, at least based on the test on the sidewalk outside the store. We’ll see if I like even having this category of shoe; to be determined 😊

      @Sean Devlin I did a 16 mi LR in them today on a concrete 1 mi loop and they did keep my feet from feeling fatigued compared to LR shoes I’ve used in the past. I struggled toward the end probably for other reasons. But, we then walked over to Whole Foods and my legs felt great. It’s definitely an outstandingly comfortable shoe for recovery and/or walking.

    I know it's only February 1, but this is my shoe of the year. It is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn hands down. I did a comparison to its competitors yesterday at my store and they just don't stack up in terms of softness and comfortability. I think it's going to fit a lot more variety of feet compared to the older models as well. ASICS absolutely nailed it with this one and I'm excited to see how the new Cumulus measures up to this Nimbus.

    Just got these. £134 from amazon uk. Ran 10 miles in these today straight out of the box and they are excellent. No rubbing or break in period required. Great for your long slower runs, exceptionally comfortable. Saw a few reviews that said they run narrow, but I have quite a wide foot and I have had no issues whatsoever. In fact they seem quite roomy which is perfect as it allows your foot to swell a bit. Totally true to size in my opinion. A great addition to my rotation and i would highly recommend .

    Alot of people are giving good reviews for this, but YOU HAVE TO TRY IT YOURSELF. I hated how unstable the gel nimbus 25 felt when worn, it made me feel wonky and made me fall whenever i squat down because the foams are way too soft to the point that i felt i was wearing balloons; there is no clear defined edge so you can easily roll over, roll back, roll to the sides if you walk on uneven ground. In the end, i went with their stability line, the kayano-29.

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  Год назад +2

      It’s important to figure out what kind of shoes a reviewer tends to like. And then find a reviewer who likes the kinds of shoes that you tend to like. That is what will make reviews helpful.
      You, for example, like stability shoes. So you will probably disagree with many shoes that I like, since I intentionally avoid stability shoes. It does not make either your or my opinion wrong.

If you want less shoe than the Nimbus and SC Trainer you could also consider the Saucony Triumph-still plenty of shoe and comfortable.

      but some people's footstrike hits the ground harder due to weight while others due to height. I try not to put undue emphasis on body size here on the channel, so I leave it up to people if they want to put themselves in the category, and the references are there to acknowledge the foam of some shoes may feel a bit firm to me but just perfect to others.

    I have the nimbus 24 . It is a decent daily trainer shoe . It felt soft on the foot but i never felt like a maximum cushion shoes . At times you do feel like you wanting more cushion in that shoe. The Nimbus 25 looks like an upgrade & looks premium.
    I am planning to buy a new daily trainer shoe but i have yet to decide . I am gravitating towards Nike invincible 3

    My pair for marathon training will be the Nimbus 25 (long run) and the NVBT3 (quality runs). I could go to the trials with Superblast, but Asisc restricts it to a size 13 (one number below my size)

    Give me a black knit upper and that same minty color and I'm all it!!! Completely reminds me of my Nike Lunarepic Flyknits. It's something about how that transition from the black and neon to the black mint sticks in my head for my introduction to running. It pulls me and make me willing to try other brands.

    Great looking shoe. Thanks for mentioning the issue with rocker. I just got the NB 1080v12, my first pair of shoes with any rocker. It caught my attention the first time I stood up in them and Im really liking them on the run but I have wondered if they would work as an everyday shoe as a result of that rocker. Luckily I bought that pair specifically for running.
    Maybe some folks like standing around in that type of shoe, Im just not sure it’s for me. Seems like the rocker on the 1080s isn’t that aggressive compared to some others either.

    @danytube7985 Год назад +1

    What does running slow vs running faster mean in terms of pace as a rough idea?
    It might be useful to know as a guidance.
    I see a lot of these reviews for max cushion shoes specifically for recovery/easy runs, but an easy run for an elite runner may still be faster than a fast run for a beginner/ametuer.
    Basically at what sort of pace range does this shoe work best at?
    Would that possibly make these shoes more versatile for newer runners who aren't going to be doing any of their runs below a 4min/km pace anyway.

      @ventilateoxygenate4815 Год назад +1

      Just ignore that. As a beginner or slower runner you can make any shoe ur tempo easy race shoe...although you'll find yourself running faster in a speedy shoe naturally because of the different foams and nylon/carbon

    good call on getting rid of the gel in the forefoot. I was recently buying new shoes, I tried on two models with gel in the forefoot and knew immediately that's not a shoe for me. There was some weird twisting of a foot because of the gel "donut" under forefoot (I think I have a similar foot strike to you, sort of "outer forefoot rolling inside")

      I have both and they’re very different but if you just buy one, the Nova is more versatile. However, if you need something for very long runs and recovery, that’s why I bought the Nimbus as well since I’ve never had a plush shoe designated for those specific use cases.

      I have both (and both are new models to me) They’re so different I recommend you try them on in a store and you’ll have a strong preference. It also depends what kinds of runs you’d be doing after your office hours. The Nova is more versatile and suited to some faster paces while the Nimbus is very plush and geared toward comfort and for me, longer slower running.
