Put these on and you're ready to go! Note they are generally wide (which was good for me), so if your hoof is a little on the wide side you can stick with the Mediums and skip the Wide size. Super comfy and they look hot. I get loads of comments.

Love these shoes. I underpronate when I run and I have had trouble in the past finding the right shoe. These have proven to be very comfortable even as the miles get long.

I have ordered many pairs of shoes from Zappos. Their customer service is great. If you need to return something there is no hassle. They have good prices, too. I love my Asics shoes. They are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever had. Basically, if you need shoes, buy them from Zappos!

Awesome shoes! Started wearing Gel Nimbus three years ago. Have tried on many other makes and models, but can't find any others that feel as good right out of the box. The GN 10 was a mistake with the solid piece coming across your big toe (caused blisters). But the 11 is back to the great cushioning seen in prior models.

I have been wearing the ASICS Nimbus line for a few years now and have loved them. However this year I feel like the 11\\\'s are slightly less supportive through out the shoe and in the arch especially. They do still have good cushioning.

These are good shoes, cushioned where I need them to be and narrow enough for my bony feet. It is a good choice if you are looking for a neutral shoe for a rigid, high arch that will serve you well in long runs and high mileage.

I did lots of research on these shoes before purchasing them. I am a slightly over-pronator with a normal arch. Very comfortable, super stylish and lots of support. The cushioning system is top-notch and makes me want to run a little bit farther! Love the silver and grape combo, very nice!!

Great shoe! I love this shoe. I have a wide foot and love lots of cushioning. This shoe is the first shoe to ever fit me right out of the box. I ordered another pair just because I'm tired of wearing out a shoe and then struggling to find another one (even same name/style) that feels as terrific.

This is my second pair of Gel-Nimbus. I have a very narrow foot and these are the only shoes I have found to fit my foot. I run 25-35 miles per week and the extra cushioning on the ball of the shoe provides great support. These are the only shoes I wear when I am doing any type of exercise, i.e. running, kick boxing, personal training and weight lifting. I will continue to be a repeat customer. Thanks Zappos!!

Definetly worth the extra money. Have worn for bootcamp 5 days a week. I have a little extra weight on, and these have held up. Can\'t say anything bad about them. Comfortable, I also have high arches and these have enough support for those mile runs!

This shoe is everything Runner\'s World Magazine said that it would be in their Shoe Guide for Fall. It was Editor\'s Choice in Sept \'09, and earned that rating thanks to the extra toe box room (helps keep my toes from rubbing the inside of the shoe) and additional memory foam cushioning (including under the tongue of the shoe which makes it far more comfortable!). They were expensive, but I did 3 half marathons with them in the last 4 weeks, and they have served me well. It\'s worth the extra dough to get a good fit when you are running long distances. I\'m Sold.

I love these sneakers. After a few runs, that is. They have a lot of bounce, and cushion. This particular sneaker, the limited, Zappos edition is really nice to look at also. The teal is beautiful.

Over the last several months I have been suffering with shin splints; years and years of exercising/cross-training and now, shin splints. Needless to say I did some Googling [went to one of those fancy running shoe stores that looks to fit your foot based on your gait] & they confirmed what I found. I am an under-pronator and need "enhanced" or "extra" cushioning. Subsequently, I spent a small fortune on shoes from the specialty running store, with inserts etc. Little help. So, I decided to invest in more expensive shoes sans inserts, but ones that are specifically for under-pronators, so far, these shoes have been my only comfort. I bought 2 pairs.

I\'ve worn the Gel Nimbus for about 7 years now. I agree this number 11 is better than the number 10 series. The Nimbus has great cushion and shock absorbency which is why I buy them. My knees get sore when I run and these shoes really take the pounding well. Very comfortable and the purple color is nice! Highly recommend if you get sore knees and need the extra cushion. Worth the money!!

I love these shoes. I have them in the bright pink and the blue, and so tempted to get the Zappos exclusive color and the purple/grey ones. I use the pink ones exclusively for working out, but the blue ones I wear to work because they are like putting pillows on my feet (I work in a hospital lab and am on my feet most of the time). I have relatively high arches and am not an over or underpronator, and these are just a great cushioning shoe. Love them. Worth every penny. The Nimbus 10 laced up funny, so I am glad they are back to this classic style with the 11s. I buy other brands of athletic shoes for work, but these are the only shoes I will wear for exercise.

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. It feels like you are walking on marshmallows. Also has great support. True to size.

I love this shoe. I have owned one other pair of the Nimbus by Asics and I love this shoe. I ran my PT test for the military in a Nike Shox shoe and by the time I was done I thought my feet were on fire. That is why I love these shoes! They keep my feet cool when I run and they work for anything in the gym. They are light, well cushioned and just overall the best shoe out there!

I did some research on women's top rated running shoes before purchasing these and I'm not sorry. They are very attractive (I ordered the purple and silver). I jog on concrete, so the gel in the sole and heel cushions each step. The fit is true to size and recommended for a neutral foot (not flat and normal arch) for under 25 miles per week. Very comfortable, well made shoe. Thought it was a bit pricey.

I've been an Asics Gel-Nimbus gal for years now and this is by far the best of the best. It is super light weight and supportive. I had a bad bout of plantar fasciitis and with these shoes I've have never had a problem. These are what running shoes are supposed to feel like, fantastic out of the box. I run 15-20 miles a week. I just may have to stock up and buy a few more pairs before Nimbus becomes 12.

AWESOME! This is my 3rd pair of Asics Gel-Nimbus and by far the most comfortable. I use them for the gym and walking. They\'ve really upped the cushioning and you can tell immediately. I got the purple ones and it\'s a cool color - lots of compliments! Asics are the best and the Gel-Nimbus 11s are fantastic. And, of course, Zappos is always fantastic!!

Love these! These are such an improvement over the Gel-Nimbus 10s. There are no overlays causing pressure points and the shoe is very light. I use them with my custom orthotics. I've been running 35+ miles/week in them for 2 months now. I'm buying another pair in case they decide to tinker with perfection and change this model.

These shoes seem fine but felt a bit short for the size. Too bad, because I like the looks.

I usually am a huge Asics fan. These are good but not great for my foot. Something in the new offset top-lacing bothers my foot. Plus I over pronate and these seem to encourage rather than help. Comfy enough, but not like my previous favs.

I am very pleased with these shoes. I had given up my daily workout, because I had so much hip and lower back pain due to high arches. These shoes have gotten me moving again, pain-free! I received them within a week of ordering, and they were in perfect condition. My only complaint is that they are a bit pricey.

This is my second pair of Asics, the previous being an older Cumulus from a couple of years ago. I switched from Ryka and Avia who changed their styles to the extent that they no longer suited my feet or tendency to under-pronate, which is hard on the knees. I am a moderate under-pronator, or supinator, and am very heavy at 230 pounds on a 5'2" frame. I wanted a shoe that would support me in a walking fitness program and after reading tons of reviews I thought this would be a good choice. If the price of this shoe is hard to swallow, a great alternative is the Saucony Grid Fusion 2, also great for under-pronators. This shoe provides moderate arch support. One thing to note is that this shoe runs slightly narrower in the toebox than the Saucony Grid Fusion, but only slightly. I like to feel that my shoe is snugly on my foot without cutting off circulation and like that the tongue of the Asics Cumulus 11 is nice and thick at the top, near where you tie your shoe laces in a bow. So it lets me loosen the lace near the toes and tie firmly near the top of my foot.
