I loved the Gel-Nimbus 8 so much that I had two pairs. When ASICS released the Gel-Nimbus 9, I was confident that I could not go wrong with this shoe. I was wrong. Very wrong. I needed a neutral-cushion shoe, and Runner's World said this was the shoe for me, and considering the success I had with the Gel-Nimbus 8, I decided to give the 9 a go. Big mistake. The way the heel is structured changed my stride, and I have since started having hip pain. I've only worn these shoes on 10 short runs. I shelved the shoe for a while and went back to a pair of Gel-Nimbus 8 -- and did not have any pains. I recently tried running in the Gel-Nimbus 9 again -- only ache afterward. I cannot return them, but if I could, I would.

Great Shoe!
I have always worn the Asics DS Trainer but this is a good and slightly more cushioned training shoe, and not heavy at all as I expected it to be.

Heeled my knee pain -
This is a top class running shoe...as it should be, for the price range. Even though I have been wearing Asics running shoes for years, I don't often get the top of the line model, since I don't do "high mileage" any more. This time, I decided to treat myself, and I'm glad I did. I am running in comfort once again.

My first pair of Asics. I exercise every day and I love the shoe. Great support. I wear a wide yet have a narrow heel and this shoe accommodates both.

I bought 2 pair of Asics's Gel-Nimbus, one for my son and one for myself. Great running shoes, which felt true to size. Will definitely buy again. Will also use Zappos again. My whole experience with this company was very good. Excellent service. Thanks.

Approved by my Physical Therapist -
Currently going to a PT, she asked HOW OLD are those shoes you are wearing?? I assured her they were not worn out but she said I MUST get new ones for more support. I called a Zappos specialist to get help with a shoe for specific foot (high arch and under-pronation) problems. After ordering several pairs, I took them to her and these got the seal of approval! They feel and look great!!

Once again, I am very pleased with this running shoe. As with most running shoes, I need to order up half a size, and this is true with this shoe as well. Zappos did it again! Overnight delivery to my house sure beats going to the store with my three preschoolers/toddlers!!!

I wasn't really impressed with these shoes when I got them. They were true to size and felt good, however, in person the gold is very bright and not my style. They are much brighter and busy in person.

I have never owned a pair of Asics before...never knew what I was missing. It is like running on air! I was beginning to develop knee issues. Changed to these shoes and I have knee issues no more. These shoes are great!

ASICS'S Gel-Nimbus 9 not as good at the Nimbus 7 -
I am very disappointed in this shoe. It doesn't even look like the same shoe. It definitely does not have the same comfort and support the Nimbus 7 did. The fit is also different, the area on the metatarsal of my great toe is being rubbed where the sole meets the skin of the shoe. I recommend trying it on in the store and running in it before making a purchase. The materials seem very cheap and the sole's much thinner.

Like walking on clouds.
I didn't know running shoes could feel like this. I have a wider foot and narrow heel and these felt wonderful. However, I could not keep them because they were digging into my ankles. I'm 5'2 and sometimes shoes are made too high for me. I'm going to try the kid's nimbus. I tried on a dozen athletic shoes and these are the most comfy. They do look a little bulky at the sole though. But the cushioning in this shoe is really amazing.

This is a great running shoe. I had my stride done at a running store and this was one of the shoes they advised. I have a difficult time finding this shoe, but Zappos has it.

I've worn Asics for a few years now and this is the 3rd Gel-Nimbus version I've owned. I like the fit and the wider toe box. I wear a 9 1/2 but buy a 10 for running shoes to allow for a little more "give" in the toes.

These are even better than the predecessor. They are very, very light and offer lots of cushioning and arch support. I will get them again when I need them.

This good looking shoe has great support and cushioning. It is far superior to others I have worn. I ordered and tried on several pr of shoes before buying this one--truly a winner. It also accommodates orthotics with ease.

This shoe is amazingly comfortable. I would recommend buying a size smaller though. It’s very supporting in the arch and heel. I run all the time and I would buy this shoe again. No regrets

Sport Doc recommended!
I am a high mileage runner and I tend to injured runners. That said, most of my “hurt” runners are wearing the wrong shoes. This shoe is for: mid-foot/medium heel strikers (even good for bigger runners, but if you are a heavy heel striker, go with the Brooks Beast). Neutral to slight under-pronating gate, neutral to low arches, those who prefer a wider/more breathable toe box, but still want a snug heel fit, and for anyone “new” to running who wants to make a solid investment in a shoe that will last you up to 80+ miles a month for at least 8-9 months. I DON'T recommend this shoe for: over-pronators, those with weak ankles (decent stability here, but not this shoe’s strength), those with a narrow forefoot (though GREAT for narrow heels), and those just looking for a training shoe (these shoes are made to go forward, too much lateral motion will wear them out faster and ruin their balance).

I wear a size 10 and I always buy my Asics in my true size and find them to fit perfectly. These shoes are very comfortable and very light. I wear them to jog on the treadmill - have not taken them on the sidewalk yet. I highly recommend these.

Love this shoe!
I have been buying Asics Gel-Nimbus shoes for oh, six or seven years now. This is the redesign from 8 to 9, and one of the best features about this iteration is that the tongue on this shoe doesn't stick up as much as it used to on the 8's. With the older versions, jeans or track pants would get caught up in the tongue every time you sat down, and you'd have to keep adjusting or look messy. Asics fixed that problem with this model, so now there's nothing to mar the fashion aspect. They're really cute, and somehow I think they make your foot look smaller than the 8's did. The colors are better than last year's options, too. As always, this shoe is great if you need a little help keeping your foot from pronating or supinating. It's great for high arches, and your knees will thank you. When they're brand-new, they feel like clouds because of the squishy gel and the mesh upper. I have a very wide foot and any other shoe takes months to break in, but these are comfortable right away because of the mesh. It's also nice if you have a longer second toe--again, the mesh upper doesn't bind that longer toe, but lets it move.
They would be pricey just for street wear, but they well worth the money for pronating or supinating runners with high arches!

I am a runner and would never run in anything but Nimbus, but Asics has completely outdone themselves this time. I own 11 pairs of Asics running shoes and these are BY FAR superior to any other pair that I own. They are AWESOME!!!!!

As usual, Asics is a star running sneaker. The Nimbus is working great for my foot type... High arch and enough cushioning.

 |  | I am writing to let you know how helpful the staff at Zappos has been in assisting me. I recently ordered a pair of shoes and then decided I did not want them. I submitted an email explaining my situation. It was responded to almost immediately. I was told that the order had already shipped but that Zappos would contact UPS for me, something I'm sure other companies would not bother doing, and recall the order. It was completely done for me by the excellent staff you have there. I received my refund within two days of my original order. Thank you so much for aiding me after I decided not to purchase the shoes. In the future I will be giving Zappos all of my business. Thanks again! Another Satisfied Customer, Ian C.
