This didn’t have the arch support I would like though when I run in them I don’t have a problem. I’m used to more arch, but I’ve been running my 5 miles three times a week at least, and other gym stuff and haven’t noticed the least bit of a problem.

First thing I noticed when I picked them up was how light they were! There is more silver reflective material on the outside than appears in the photo, which is fine with me. I usually wear a 6.5 or 7 and the size 7 in the Gel-Nimbus fits great. My feet are on the wide side and the shoe isn't too snug. There is room in the toe for feet to expand during a run. The netting allows for good ventilation and heat transfer during a run. I also have high arches and these shoes have great support. Love 'em!

I have been wearing Asics for a while. I wore the Nimbus 10s before and this is my first pair of Nimbus 11s. They are so comfortable and seem to have more cushion than before. I would definitely buy another pair! I wear a 9.5 in Asics and this pair runs true to size.

This is the only athletic shoe I would buy! I have narrow feet and usually swim in athletic shoes but not ASICS. Always purchase 1 full size larger in athletic shoes. ASICS are nice and snug on my feet. ZAPPOS makes shopping a breeze! I have been a customer for several years now and have absolutely no complaints. Refuse to shop at stores for shoes.

The Asics Gel-Nimbus 11 has been a fabulous find for me. They have superior cushioning in the forefoot, and very good arch support too. At 45 I already have arthritis in my toe joints, and I am on my feet a lot during the day, so these Asics have been a wonderful find!

For me this shoes was a great find. Bought about three weeks ago. Put them on and have worn them everyday.Great for walking,running and all around.As another person has said. The ties are offset and do make me keep looking @ them. But very comfortable. At first I did notice it takes a while for your foot to shape the shoe. I have problems with shoes so this was a great surprise and fine.I am buying two more.

The shoes are great! I've been walking, and decided to help my aching feet, and buy a pair of good shoes. i went to a running store, that did not have my size, and was waiting on some shipments. after approx a month(stopping and calling twice)my husband ordered them online, and i had them in about two days. thanks!

I am a 51-year old neutral runner who began running about 4 years ago. I put on about 3-4 miles several times a week. For a number of years, I was a fan of New Balance, but recently decided to change to the Gel Nimbus 11 after reading a review of them in Running Magazine. These shoes are by far the best running shoes I've ever worn. They required no breaking in period; they were comfortable right out of the box. The toe box is roomy, and the "off center" lacing is just one more feature that helps support the foot properly. I definitely feel lighter on my feet these days, and I will buy more of these shoes (maybe in different colors to add variety to my life) after these have served their purpose. Thanks, Zappos, for the best service EVER.

I work in a hospital, work 12 hour shifts and am on my feet most of that time. I bought these shoes because many of the nurses wear them. I must say, they have cushion and I do not feel so exhausted after working long hours. I will buy these again and I recommend them to anyone who needs the extra cushion. Also, I got my regular size and they fit great.

I bought these running shoes for my daughter for Christmas. This is her 4th pair. She LOVES them. As usual I was behind with my Christmas shopping and decided to order them from Zappos. They arrived in plenty of time for me to wrap and put under the tree. I was amazed at how quickly they arrived! Very pleased!

I am 58 years old very active with chronic sore feet and hips. These shoes saved my life. Once I got these new shoes, my hip issue went away and my feet were never happier.

These Asics are fabulous! I just completed the Disney Marathon and I was thrilled to finally find something that I could feel good in for such long distances and hours. I have tried so many running shoes over the last year and could not find anything that would allow me to run longer distances without pain in my feet. I do also need orthotics because of my very high arches. The Gel-Nimbus 11 have definitely helped this improve and be more tolerated. Even better, Zappos is fantastic and had these at my door the day after I ordered them.

I love Zappos! Service receiving items as well as returns is awesome! Customer Service is exceptional as well. Return receipts and proper boxes to return items in are very user friendly. So nice just to drop off at our local Staples store for the returns. I recently ordered several items from Shoebuy.com because they had 20% off the total order - bad mistake! The order came in spurts over a two week span, all the shoes were in single boxes; they only have one return label, so when I returned items I had to find a box to fit the return items because they would only print out one return label and they didn't feel responsible enough to have a box for me to ship them back in. Very inconvenient. Customer service from Shoebuy was nowhere near the level of Zappos. Keep up the good service Zappos. I promise not to wander again!

I bought these shoes for my sister for her birthday and she loves them! They are her second pair of Nimbuses and I will be buying them as well. They are structured and have great support.

Loved shopping with Zappos. The shoes I purchased were on back order until March from the local store where I usually buy them. I easily found them at Zappos, ordered them and had them in 2 days! Zappos makes it so easy with free shipping as well as free shipping on returns. I will definitely shop with Zappos again!

These are great running shoes & the fit is perfect for me. They aren’t quite as wide as some wide shoes I have bought in the past, but wide enough for me. One thing you can’t really see in the photos: the bottom of the laces is off-center on your foot, though the top is centered. It doesn’t bother me, but some might find it odd.

Nice lightweight shoe, lots of support and cushioning. I need cushioning in the forefoot and so far, it has been up to the job. I usually take a woman's D width, but the B worked best here. Sizing was best at a half size up. It accommodates my orthotic well. Previously, New Balance was my shoe, but over the years the sizing was becoming problematic for me, so I decided to try a different brand. The Asics have fit the bill so far.

These shoes have honestly changed my running life. These are the second pair of Gel-Nimbus 11 shoes that I have bought in the last 4 months. I have flat feet and a very wide toe box, so I bought these in a wide. I use them with orthotics. Before I bought these shoes I was struggling to put in 20-25 miles a week because of knee and hamstring problems, but since I bought them I have been putting in 35 miles a week and have almost no associated pain. They are padded yet light and sturdy, and I have been able to put more miles on them than I put on the 2140s, which I wore for 4 years. They are expensive and I was reluctant to lay down the money for them, but I have found that they are worth every penny.

I love these shoes. I am prone to blisters and sore feet when I run over 20 miles. I ran a 23.7 mile leg of the Canadian Death race and the 50 mile. The endurance challenge run in these shoes. They were amazing in both races even though they aren't a trail shoe. I will never wear a different shoe on a long run again.

Asics Gel Nimbus 11 are the best sneakers I have ever bought. I have always purchased New Balance because they have narrow widths. I have a narrow heel. I don't have the slipping that I normally do with my other sneakers. This is also the first time that I purchased running shoes instead of cross trainers. I hate to put on my old sneakers now. These are so comfortable. I am glad I decided to give them a try.

Love these shoes. They are very comfortable and cushioned. I experience knee pain at times and these shoes give me the support and cushioning I need to minimize the impact of exercise on my knee.
