ASICS has a variety of shoe models available to fit the demands of nurses while also addressing the unique needs of your feet. Let’s take a look into our recommended shoes for nurses so you can find the perfect pair of ASICS shoes.

Gel-Nimbus 25 in color Blue

GEL-NIMBUS®

With maximum cushioning to feel like you’re walking on clouds, the GEL-NIMBUS® shoe is built to handle the demands of nurses who are on their feet all day long. The outsole, made with AHAR rubber, provides improved durability. With a soft knit upper providing advanced ventilation, the GEL-NIMBUS® shoe gives the wearer a luxurious fit with excellent breathability. The same stretchy, soft knit material is used in the construction of the tongue for a more adaptive and conforming fit. Featuring the most cushioning offered by our GEL-Nimbus® models to date thanks to our new PureGEL™ technology and more FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, you can expect a lightweight and softer experience with a more responsive toe-off. The GEL-Nimbus® is an ideal fit for neutral and under pronators as well as normal to high foot arches. This shoe can also help alleviate symptoms caused by a lack of pronation such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis and ankle strain.

Gel-Cumulus 25 in the color black

GEL-CUMULUS®

Designed with both comfort and durability in mind, nurses looking to get the most out of their shoes should consider the GEL-CUMULUS® shoe. Featuring ASICS LITE outsole rubber in the forefoot, the material is lighter and stronger than typical outsole materials while simultaneously providing resistance against abrasions so they can stand the test of time. Also aiding in the longevity of the GEL-CUMULUS® outsole is the AHARPLUS rubber placed in the heel to promote durability throughout landing. A good option for neutral and under pronation as well as neutral to high arches, the GEL-CUMULUS® is both soft and responsive thanks to our FF BLAST™ cushioning with an engineered mesh upper allowing for breathability and comfort. To address different compression rates for optimized energy return, GEL-CUMULUS® shoes are designed with gender-specific 3D SPACE CONSTRUCTION™ technology and full-ground contact design for a smoother and more efficient wear. Engineered with a mesh upper, GEL-CUMULUS® shoes are breathable and comfortable from the first wear with the OrthoLite sockliner giving you a personal fit.

Gel-Pulse shoe in the color black and pink

GEL-PULSE®

When wearing GEL-PULSE® shoes, you can forget about worrying about your feet and instead focus all your energy on helping your patients. The GEL-PULSE® shoes offer a smooth feel and exceptional comfort. Redesigned with an engineered jacquard mesh, this shoe has the airflow and breathability needed to keep your feet cool throughout the day. Rearfoot GEL® technology combined with AMPLIFOAM™ cushioning gives the shoe impact absorption that is soft yet strong and responsive. Durability won’t be a concern with the GEL-PULSE® shoe as the AHARPLUS™ heel plug rubber makes sure these shoes can hold up to the hours nurses spend on their feet. With a strong and stable grip to the floor, you can count on GEL-PULSE® shoes to give you the stability you need to keep up in even the fastest pace work environments.
