New mesh and sole

The Nimbus 25 's new mesh is supple and lightweight, allowing it to hug the shape of the foot. This ensures good support and stability during effort, both on the road and on the trail. The tongue is adjustable and comfortable, and the inside of the shoe has extra padding (in the form of small cushions) for excellent foot comfort.

That's its strong point!

Sole: it's wider than before, which isn't disturbing in itself, but it's quite smooth underneath, which means you tend to have shaky support and a lack of grip in wet weather or on certain trails.

General opinion on the shoe

Note:
4.5/5

After more than a month of running with it on various training sessions, this new Nimbus 25 has become 100% part of our shoe rotation. Its comfort and weight make it the ideal partner for endurance, long outings (easy pace) and recovery jogging. Its dynamism isn't necessarily its best asset, but it's enough to set the pace and run at the threshold.

Highlights

  • Shock absorption to reduce muscular impact
  • Comfort
  • Foot support/stability

Weak points

  • Lack of grip
  • Imposing foot model
  • Its price
