nimbus vs cumulus vs kayano? thoughts/experiences
I wear a neutral show and of all those (which I've tried them all), I like the Nimbus the best.
The cumulus doesn't have enough cushion for me, and the Kayano is too rigid.
I will say Asics screwed up on the Nimbus 16, and I hope the 17 goes back to being a good neutral cushion shoe.
an amazing likeness
I go back forth between Nimbus and New Balance 1080 (I think I'm on pair #30-ish of Nimbus). Compared to Nimbus, I find the Cumulus to be too "open" in the forefoot -- the front of the shoe is too much mesh on the sides and my foot slides outward on toe-off. The C is also much softer under heel than the N. I would call the C "sloppier". Fit between Cumulus & Nimbus is identical.
mta: It's been a few years since I've worn a Cumulus, so take as outdated info....
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

I test wore the brand new Nimbus and it was too cushy for me.
Runners run
I like both the nimbus and cumulus.
thanks everyone. I will have some questions for sure but waiting for a few more responses.
