text: nimbus line of shoes have gone down in comfort! I'm not sure why they keep making their shoes minimalist.<br /><br />bought the nimbus 12, just amazing cushioning. Then nimbus 15, no improvement just better fit lighter, now the 16 and all I could say is what a waste of money. My legs and feet are in pain and I only do 7k gravel trail and pavement few times a week.<br />Bought spenco shoe inserts, really helped with the heel cushioning. But I gave up on asics!.<br />I just purchased hoka  bondi 4, after reading so many reviews on maximalist shoes. I can't say anything about them yet as I haven't ran in them but they sure feel sooo comfortable when i'm walking.
