I'm obsessed with the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 running shoes — and a Prime Day sale gives me hope for Black Friday

I often run my 5Ks wearing the Asics Gel-Nimbus range, and the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 running shoe makes those kilometers speed by, offering unparalleled comfort and support.

Our fitness editor swears by the 25 running shoes so much that she placed them among the best running shoes on the market, and we think they're the most comfortable Asics iteration yet. Now you can shop the 25 trail shoe for less despite Amazon's October Prime Day sales event ending, and the last time we checked this deal was still in stock.

The Asics Gel Nimbus 25 is an upgrade on the Asics Gel-Nimbus 24, and the difference is huge. The Nimbus 25 feels like a completely different running shoe, with more ankle support than the Nimbus 24 and enough cloud-like foam to send you bouncing along the roads. They feel lively underfoot, although they are still best suited to long runs and easy miles.

It's worth noting that this is the updated trail version of the 25, which means the outsole is built for tricky terrain and superb grip. The shoe features a soft knit upper and an updated collar construction that extends around the ankle. Asics has called its Gel-Nimbus 25 its "most comfortable running shoe yet" — its added new PureGEL technology and more of its FF Blast Plus Eco cushioning. Underfoot, this shoe feels plush and has immediate sink-in comfort.

Honestly, we take this shoe with us everywhere.

This is, without a doubt, the best version of the Gel-Nimbus to date. It’s a comfortable, plush, everyday running shoe that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed running in. If you’re looking for a max-cushioned shoe, perfect for easy miles and long runs, this will tick all the right boxes.
