- A running shoe that delivers a soft, cushioned ride and stable platform. Suitable for the under-pronator to moderate over-pronator.
- Breathable open mesh upper.
- Synthetic overlays provide lasting durability and a supportive fit.

- I.G.S® (Impact Guidance System) is an ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike through toe-off.

- Rearfoot & forefoot Gel® cushioning systems work together to better attenuate impacting shock and allow the foot to move fluidly throughout the gait cycle.
- Space Trusstic System™ midfoot stabilizer creates a pocket between the Trusstic System unit and the midsole, promoting more controlled midsole deformation, as well as more efficient foot function.
- AHAR® (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is known for its supreme durability and is strategically placed throughout high-wear areas of the outsole.
- DuraSponge® forefoot outsole material is comprised of a blown AHAR rubber for superior cushioning and long-lasting wear.
- Guidance Line® technology employs a vertical flex groove that decouples the tooling along the line of progression for maximum stride efficiency.

This shoe is wonderful...I am not sure about it being a noticeable update from the Nimbus 12, but it definitely is just as good. There is a lot of cushioning and they have gotten me through a few 5 mile runs now with no complaints. I have bought the Nimbus for the last 6 years and this shoe has never disappointed me.

I have a hard time getting a sneaker to fit well - Asics does the job. Have a high instep so get the wide and is very comfy. Find it very true to my shoe size and would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent walking or running shoe. Color combo is really nice.

I had no idea why people enjoyed running until I decided to invest on good sneakers. Did some research, learned that I underpronate (supinate) and that I needed cushion sneakers that would correct my stride. Wow! I love the treadmill now! The pain in the shins is a thing of the past with these puppies. Highly recommended if you supinate like me. My only complaint is that the colors are ugly! The guy version of Asics has much nicer colors.

True to size and super comfortable. After trying many shoes, I finally found a shoe that doesn't hurt, nor after a day of standing do my knees hurt. Just wish they had more colors.

While my second Nimbus 12 shoes were a disappointment, these Nimbus 13 shoes are the best in the series so far. The heel cushion is especially apparent and the fit is perfect.

At first I was hesitant to order this shoe because I have wide, flat feet with bunions. They were tight in the beginning but now they fit wonderfully. The "gel" in the sole is great and I even put in my own orthotics. I love them and would love to have another pair!

Wow! I wore these to work out at Curves and cannot believe how comfortable they are! With size 13 Narrow I never expected them to fit at all, much less to fit perfectly. I will definitely re-order so I can have an indoor pair for Curves and an outdoor pair for everything else!
Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance--but they are heavier

I have a long, narrow foot, am extremely hard to fit. But Asics have always come through for me. I wear my Asics every day -- to walk the dog and to exercise in. I wear them with orthotics. Thank you Asics and Zappos for being there for me.

Have been running in the Asics Gel Nimbus for the past 8 years. A year ago, I tried New Balance, and they weren't nearly as comfortable or supportive. The Gel Nimbus, needs no breaking in, you can pull them out of the box, lace them up and go for a run, without worrying about getting a blister.

Great shoe! I bought the wide width and it fits comfortably. I usually wear a size 11 in a running shoe and this fits well. I wear a 10 in a sandal and a 10-1/2 in a street shoe. I love the wide widths that Asics makes.

Been using these shoes for years. Always great. This model seems to run a little more narrow than usual however and I have a narrow foot. I wear 8 in regular shoes, buy 9 in running shoes.

I'm very pleased with this shoe; no break-in required. My previous running shoes were Mizuno Wave Creation and the Asics have a bit more cushion.

These shoes are very snug. Ordering a half size up might help, but I think the shoes would still be too snug for me. I like everything else about the shoe: nice arch support and plenty of cushion. I thought they would stretch out after a few runs but that did not happen. I will stick with New Balance the next time I buy running shoes.

Only great things to say about this shoe - great looks, great fit, great comfort! I love it and found it to be exactly what I was looking for. It is lightweight, fits very comfortably and I haven't had any problems with knee or foot pain or discomfort. Love them!

Bummer. Not nearly wide enough. I ordered a 9 wide and my toes are squeezed and my foot pushes out the side. These don't come in extra wide so I'll have to return them.

A good follow-up to the Nimbus 12 which I bought last spring, but I wish the 13 was available in the black base color again. Asics makes great shoes when it comes to fit, cushion, support and durability so how about some updated color choices in addition to grey.
