It would be extremely helpful, if you would call out which shoe is better for supination and pronation when doing shoe reviews.

[@bebop2599]

Good review. Interesting you mention metatarsalgia with heel drop. I had to sell on the Ascis Superblasts V1 which I found didn't counteract with softness.

[@khungreen9773]

Great review - thank you

[@james_mccormack]

Thank you 🙏

[@thewisdomofjacobsladder]

Is nimbus ok for flat feet?

[@treemolo21]

Great review James, I've some question, which do you prefer to wear as daily walking shoes?

[@james_mccormack]

They both work well - I think it comes down to whether you want the extra stability of the Kayano or not

[@treemolo21]

@james_mccormack thank youu

[@tasneemvanderschyff9802]

Ive been running in ascis 24 for 3 years (was lucky to have 2 pairs in the same model) im struggling to transition to the 26. Feels like me feet are working harfer and my runs are requiring more from me. How much time do i give it before i conclude that its not working?

[@james_mccormack]

It has a softer sole so it is likely that your stabiser muscles are working harder / you may prefer something like the brooks ghost 16

[@mussab6876]

Thank you James for this vid. I have flat feet what do you recommend for me ?

[@james_mccormack]

I cover this in the video - thanks for watching

[@mussab6876]

Sorry I didn’t get it from vid due to my english is weak. What I figured from vid is kayano is better for flat feet is it ?

[@pilaral8918]

Which one is better for halux rigidus? I bought the Nimbus but after watching you video I think maybe the Kayano would be a better option 🧐

[@james_mccormack]

They could both work it just depends on how much stiffness one would prefer

[@wilfredocustodio9234]

I like both shoes, but could you tell me if either would work for my bunions? Thanx a lot

[@james_mccormack]

A bit more space in the toe box of the kayano

[@c.art7478]

Great review! How a lower or higher drop affects your calfs and hamstrings..? Is it true that a lower drop put more pressure on them?

[@james_mccormack]

Unfortunately it’s not linear due to variations in gait, cushioning and individuals response to footwear but broadly higher drop = higher knee load

[@WhiteRaito]

Is nimbus 26 as sinking deep on the heel like 1080 13/14?

[@james_mccormack]

Similar to the 1080 v14 but not as soft as the V13

[@WhiteRaito]

@james_mccormack thanks

[@AvrilJonesMEC]

So is the Kyano 31 Paris the same as the Kyano 31?

[@james_mccormack]

Yes, just a different colourway

[@ariemugisatriaji8928]

Wait, this video was made 1 day ago? Great. I'm about to buy running shoes. I'm 95 kg / 209 lbs. And has a little bit supinated feet. Some time had knee pain when i'm running on slow pace. I always wanted to buy Gel Nimbus 26, but today i consider to get Gel Kayano insteas. I search for video, and i stumbel on yours. Can you give me some insight please?

[@james_mccormack]

They’re both max cushioned so weight makes little difference - kayano is for those who struggle to control pronation forces

[@MrScubajsb]

I wear brooks glycerin and was told the nimbus were amazing.

[@james_mccormack]

They’ve very comfortable 👌
