These running shoes were recommended by a friend and I am very happy with them! I ordered them a half-size bigger than my normal shoe size, to allow for extra room while running. They fit very well and look stylish, too! Zappos' service is amazing and the shoes were at my door within 48 hours of ordering them. Wonderful!

I love these shoes. They are the only kind I ever buy; I just replace them whenever my old ones wear out. I run about 3 miles, 3 times a week, and when these shoes are new, they keep my knees from hurting and protect my extra-long second toe. Once they get older, like any other shoe, the padding doesn't work as well so they have to be replaced. I think they last longer than other street shoes I've worn. I often get lots of comments on the color combinations of the different brands I've had over the years. They are a little flashy for running shoes; the combo that got the most attention was the silver/grape. This year, silver/grape was not in stock when I needed the new shoes, so I ordered a different color, not as flashy, but still attractive. The shoes have great arch support, they don't give me blisters, the mesh upper is wonderfully stretchy and very nice for people with wide feet. Nice heel support if you happen to be one of those people whose feet roll in or out when you run. As long as Asics keeps making this model, I will never buy a different kind of running shoe.

These shoes are great! I am an Asics lover, however, I had never tried Nimbus before. I will not wear anything else. I do have to add Arch inserts because I have found that without the inserts the tendonitis in my knees flares. \r\n\r\nI would highly recommend the Nimbus-11!!!!

My 1st pair and I love them. The only thing is the way they are laced it doesn't go up the middle but a little to the right. Looks weird but overall great shoe!

I have run exclusively in Asics running shoes since 2000, previously wearing Nike. After taking a two year break from running and coaching, giving birth to twins followed by a deployed husband, I ordered my trusted Asics shoes. Well, 700 miles and two pairs of shoes later, I bought another pair of Gel-Nimbus 11. These shoes are so great for runners with a neutral stride. Roomy in the toe box and supportive in the heel area. I order a half size larger than my "regular" size to give my toes a little more wiggle room. All in all, when my next half marathon is done in January and I start marathon training, I will be ordering two more pairs of these shoes.

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.

I love Asics! If you're a runner, Asics is the way to go! I am always ready for a new color after about 6 months so it is nice that they offer so many colors to choose from.

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. Zappos customer service is unbelievable; the shoes always come the next day. How do they do that?

Love Zappos and the Asics I purchased. The fit is incredible and the cushion in the sole feels great. I had to exchange for the size and Zappos sent my new size without me even sending the shoes back right away. They have wonderful service. Why buy your shoes anywhere else?

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.

I am now on my fourth pair of these sneakers. They are by far the best running sneaker on the market for me. I am a neutral runner, put on about 30 miles a week and also use them for other workouts, they hold up well, fit right out of the box, generous toe box and good cushion. Love these sneakers!

The Gel-Nimbus 11 is the perfect shoe for a neutral runner who's looking for cushioning without losing feel. Being a larger runner at over 200 lbs, I needed a shoe that would help in that area. I formally used the Mizuno Wave Rider line, and I am not knocking them, but switching to the Asics Nimbus 11 has literally given me a hop in my step. My feet and legs feel better after longer runs, I feel very satisfied with the purchase. One thing I would say, is the rubber on the shoe versus the Mizuno seems less mileage friendly. I am afraid that my Asics sole might wear down faster. Lastly, I ordered from Zappos.com so I could get their exclusive color, they couldn't be a more accommodating company, having had to change my delivery address 3 times, due to my mistake, they compensated me by delivering them overnight! You can't beat that in my book.

I have been wearing Asics Gel Nimbus for years. Of course every year they change the shoe a little bit. These shoes have tons of cushion for my bad feet. Have had plantar fasciitis for years and this shoe definitely helps.
