The Asics Gel-Nimbus 26 running shoes I purchased completely fell apart in just one year—and I’m not talking about heavy-duty use. I run around 20K per week, which is considered light to moderate by any standard. What’s frustrating is that Asics promotes this shoe as a top-tier model built for professional long-distance runners, yet it couldn’t even last 12 months under normal usage.
When I sent the shoes in for inspection, Asics flatly rejected my claim, saying the damage was not due to a manufacturing or material defect. Their customer service told me the issue wasn’t covered and blamed it on “user error.” How is that even possible? Am I supposed to believe that normal running somehow caused the materials to break down this badly? What do they think we’re doing—running with nails in our shoes?
These shoes cost nearly ₺8,000, and clearly, they’re not built to last. If Asics is selling footwear that disintegrates after one year of normal use, they need to be transparent about that up front. Consumers don’t spend this kind of money expecting to throw their shoes out annually.
I’m extremely disappointed and will never purchase Asics again. For a brand that claims to support serious runners, their product durability and post-sale support are seriously lacking. If they can’t stand behind their premium products, then they shouldn’t be charging premium prices.
Asics Gel-Nimbus 26 professional (!) running shoes fell apart in 1 year. The Asics brand shoes I mentioned in the title fell apart in exactly one (1) year. However, this brand sells by stating that it is designed for long distance runners in professional athletics, not just for those who run 20K a w...
I want to share how my Asics Gel Nimbus 25 shoes look after just a few uses. These are among the most expensive models, yet their durability is shockingly poor. I expected high-quality performance from a brand I trust for running, but instead, my shoes have deteriorated way too quickly. I’m posting ...
I purchased Asics Gel-Nimbus 2S sneakers for both myself and my spouse, and after wearing mine only 20–30 times for simple walking, the inner lining started tearing apart—and it’s getting worse with every use. I wore them only with proper athletic socks and never used them for intense activity or ru...
I purchased a pair of Asics Gel-Nimbus 26 running shoes about 7 months ago, and I’ve worn them sparingly—only during races and occasional training runs. Despite this limited and careful use, the toe mesh area has already started tearing, and holes have formed in the front part of the shoe. I’ve log...
