Asics Nimbus 16

[bella9280]

Anyone try them yet? I hated the 15 so I've had 4 pairs of the 14s. I've been alternating the 14s with my Nike Pegasus but the 14s need to be retired and the nike ones are on their way out too and I don't love them.

Any experience yet with the 16s?

[Susie]

Not yet. I really like the blue color, I haven't had blue shoes in forever! But I will not try the 16s until I absolutely have to. After loving my 14s, I tried a pair of 15s, and put 120 or 130 miles on them before deciding they were the common denominator in my achilles problems. I stuffed them in the back of my closet, bought a bunch of half price 14s to hoard, and am still happily running off that back stock.

Given what a disaster the 15s were for me (they ruined a half training cycle) I would just scour the interwebs for more 14s if you know they work for you. They're getting hard to find, but not impossible yet.

It's sort of a mess of size here, size there.

I'm def buying two more pairs of the 14s!!! Especially that they are onsale now. I'm going to also try the 16s and see the good thing about road runner is their 90day return policy!!

I'm thinking they realized how bad the 15s were since the 16s came out so fast.

I didn't realize how bad the 15s were till after my 1st half. I lost toe nails, blisters, calf issues horrendous.

My last half I trained and ran in my 14s and had zero issues in them!!

Thanks for the links khols has 30off right now too plus ebates.

Interesting. I never felt uncomfortable in the 15s, but I developed a "sleeper injury," it was a chronic achilles issue that I only ever had in those shoes, and showed up the day after all my runs. It got progressively worse, with weeks off mid-training cycle, until I ditched the 15s. Then everything was good again. I still couldn't tell you exactly what's different about the 15s, which is a big part of why I don't want to try the 16s. I don't feel like I would be able to ID an issue in the 16s right away either.

I'm doing HIM training in my 3rd pair of 14s now and I wish I could have them forever.

Just wondering, does anyone actually like the 15's? That is what I have and I havent had problems with them, but I never wore the 14's so I wouldn't really know the differences between the 2 versions.

[bella9280]

Today was my 3rd ans final run in the nimbus 16!! Omg today was my worst run ever my knees, hips, calves, shins, my toes are numb. It's awful!!

Glad I ordered another pair of 14s!!!!

I've been running in Nimbuses since 2008 (so I started in 10's I think) and have lost two toenails in the 15s. I've been going crazy trying to figure out what's going on. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one having issues with this model.

[Susie]

Ugh, the more I hear, the more convinced I am that when I run out of 14s, I'm going to have to start from scratch and try a totally different shoe.
