I'm surprised you like the 20s. This shoe used to be awesome until they messed up the toe box in the 19... Fixed that problem in the 20 but took away like half the padding. It's remained that way through to the new 22. I'd been wearing Nimbus starting with Nimbus 9 and have done anywhere from 28-60 miles a week during that run of Nimbus use. They are pretty terrible now compared to before. I just recently switched to Brooks Glycerine and they seem nice so far but I'm still too new to them to cement that statement. Either way.. The newer Nimbus mostly feel like a Wal-Mart $40 shoe nowadays.

I'm a huge fan of the nimbus line and currently wearing 9.5E in the 20s...any comments on 21s as far as fit?

I normally wear size 10 in regular shoes and wear 10.5 in Nimbus. I've been wearing Nimbus for almost 20 years. The 19's were HORRIBLE, they got a little better on the 20's, but the 21's are much, much better. The toe box is better and the cushioning seems to have returned to the pre-19 form.
What about digging runrepeat.com and solereview.com?
Thanks; runrepeat.com helped.

I'm getting ready to buy another pair of them, but I'm going to move up a half size (9.5 to 10) due to the smaller toe box.
The shoes took a little while to break in. Great ride once broken in.
I keep seeing conflicting reviews of the toe box. Supposedly it is bigger on the 21s moving from the 20s.

I wouldn't say I really like the 20s compared to previous models, but I like the Nimbus line in general as far as long distance running shoes.

Well shoot I guess I'm returning the 20s I just bought.

Did you have to size up to 10.5 on the 21s? I didn't have to size up when I wore the 18s.
After I've tried the nimbus line 3 years ago, I haven't bought anything other than this series, I have more than 10 nimbus, while, I have 20 other pairs of barely used Nikes Reebok's Adidas etc which I stored away cause I can't go back to those shoes, thank you for posting this deal
