Very comfortable, light-weight shoes...just not real impressed by the way the shoe strings seem to not be centered. Other than that I like them.

Great service from Zappos. I have been wearing the Asics for a couple of years; great walking shoes, hold up really well. The size seems uniform, as I order the same one each time I order.

Unfortunately, these shoes did not work out for me. I found that the toe box was much to big for my forefoot and my foot slid around inside the shoe too much for comfort. The heel was also very loose. However, the shoe had excellent cushioning and seemed well constructed. The Ascics Cumulus 11 turned out to be a better shoe for me.

These shoes have exceeded my expectations. They are light weight and the cushioning helps me stay on my feet for hours. I use them for walking, shopping and working inside my home. I have cement floors and these shoes give me the support I need.

I have worn Asics Nimbus for several years; won't wear another shoe. The Nimbus 11 is a bit more comfortable than the 10 due to the construction of the top of the shoe. The Nimbus is roomy in the toebox, but not too big in the heel and the cushioning is excellent. After I had gotten my shoes, I read a review by Runners World and this was the editors choice. Not surprised. Zappos customer service is unbelievable; the shoes always come the next day. How do they do that?

I was hesitant to order shoes online, but when I discovered Zappos and saw where they would pay for return if they didn't work out for me, I couldn't lose. I received my Asics quickly, and they are the most comfortable shoe that I have owned. Bar none. The reviews helped me decide to give them a try. Thank you, Zappos!

This is my 2nd pair of Asics shoes. They are comfortable and supportive for my exercise walking. Like my first pair, they run a half size small, so although I normally wear a size 7 M, in Asics I wear a 7.5. I had ordered both the 7 & the 7.5, unsure which would fit. My daughter, who was also looking for a new pair of running shoes, and who wears a 6.5, tried on the 7 and decided this was her keeper. We had both ordered many different brands/styles to try, and both ended up with this shoe.

Like walking on marshmallows! Excellent all around running shoes! I love these. I wear running shoes 24/7, and wear mine out pretty fast. I am on the heavy side and need a lot of support. I wear these all day long and they are of excellent quality, and support the arches very well. Absolutely worth the price.

These are great shoes! I have high arches and need room in the toe box and these are the perfect shoe for me. I wish they had a little more padding like the Nikes I used to wear, but other than that they are great.

Thank goodness for these sneakers. I'm a recent below-knee amputee with a prosthetic left leg. My prosthetist said that the sneakers I used to wear were horrible for my prosthetic alignment and told me that I needed to get "neutral pronating" shoes. I tried several kinds that claimed to be "neutral," but none worked correctly. Until I found these. These are perfect shoes for prosthetic feet (which are typically designed for sneakers), and with an insert in my right sneaker to deal with the flat arch on my real foot, I'm doing great.

The Asics Gel-Nimbus is the most comfortable shoe, although I\'m not a runner, I spend many hours on my feet, and the shoes are awesome right out of the box. It is as if you are walking on pillows.

Wow, these are ridiculously comfortable. I tried several different running shoes on and these ones felt the best, no pressure points or stiffness. The first time I wore them I marched around an amusement park all day and my feet were very happy. The laces run at a slightly diagonal line down your foot, which is a little ugly but who cares.
