Love Zappos - won't buy my shoes anywhere else, ever again! Shoes are great too! They are used as my daily comfy shoes and perfect for someone who spends a lot of time on their feet.

Always have been a fan of Asics shoes over its competitors Brooks and Nike. Asics last the longest.

I've only worn these sneakers 5 times because I just bought them but I can still say that they're awesome. They're comfortable, they fit right and they look good. I ran a marathon in them yesterday and I've only ever run half that. As an aside, I would not suggest running 26 miles without breaking in your sneakers first (neither would my knees), but if you're going to be reckless, this is a good shoe to do it in.

I stick with ASICS.

I'm an Asics fan and their shoes seem to just be a good fit for my feet. These shoes offered more support in the toe area, which I needed due to a severe sprain. Another great feature is memory foam at the ankle making this a tremendously comfortable and good looking shoe.

I used to wear another brand of running shoes -- until I got these before heading overseas. There's only good things to say about this shoe...the fit is awesome. The weight of the shoe is perfect for daily PT. Highly recommend this particular shoe. You won't be disappointed.

I'm a longtime runner. This is my seventh pair of Gel-Nimbus 12s (or their predecessors GN 11, GN 10 etc.). Previously, I'd spent years on New Balance. The Asics Gel-Nimbus 12s were recommended originally by my sports podiatrist to help deal with a specific problem involving my knee and ITB. People have very different needs in running shoes but, for me, this has been the perfect shoe. They are comfortable and durable. They absorb shock very well. Note that the soles are quite flexible.

I find this to be a great running shoe for my foot type (moderate to high arch and a fairly neutral gait). I've had the Nimbus, 10, 11 and 12's. The 12 is not too different than any of the previous models. Great cushioning. Solid shoe. They've held up well. No complaints.

Excellent sneaker! Especially for running long distances. But pay attention to foot type...this is designed to underpronation (supination).

Once again Asics has stepped up to the plate with a great shoe. Being ex-Australian Army I have covered a lot of miles on my feet and the Gel-Nimbus 12 is well equipped to help me on my way.

Unfortunately these shoes were not right for me; too small to fit orthotics. Ordered in error, I thought they were New Balance which is the only brand I have had any luck with.

These sneakers are just great. I wear them at the gym when I am doing cardio on the treadmill or stepper. They fit really nicely and have excellent arch support. Also, I just love the color with a splash of orange and orange laces. Could not be happier.

Besides the fact the shoe choice was great and the shoe, the shopping experience was awesome. The customer service is amazing. Absolutely no hassle when I needed to swap the shoes for a larger size. It cost me nothing more to send back or to have shipped to me. Great! Easy! Efficient! Will definitely continue to use Zappos for my shopping.

This is a great shoe! You should definitely buy it! I wore the nimbus11 2 years ago and the Nimbus12 last year. This year I'm wearing the Kayano17 and I'm not hating them but don't like them either so I bought the nimbus12s again as a backup pair because they are so comfy and reliable! If you want to buy it, you should order the size that will hug your foot the most, which is what makes this shoe so great and cushioned! Go ASICS!

I purchased this for my husband about 2 years ago - since then, this is his favorite shoe! We have ordered several pairs of this same style and he just loves them. So comfortable!

This is a great sneaker. My husband has been wearing them for years. We usually buy them from a running specialty shop. However, Zappos has them at a better price and I don't need to drive 20 minutes to get them.

Great shoe at a reasonable price. My favorite running shoe. Snug heel with roomy toe box. Not too stiff but enough cushion.

If you don't need a stabilizer type shoe, and like cushion, this is your shoe. I'd used about 3 previous versions of Nimbus and I never should have changed.

I bought these shoes because I was told they are the best running shoes ever made by humans. I agree, kind of. They are pretty good. I love them. And they love ME.

I just ran a half marathon in these and found them to be comfortable the whole way. I tend to under pronate so these shoes help to correct that.

The shoes are the only reasonably priced shoes that I can wear running as I am an underpronater. They have good cushion and wear well. This is my 4th pair of this line and I will continue to buy these. And Zappos was great to work with. I ordered the wrong size and they gladly exchanged them with no extra charge or hassle to me. Thanks, Zappos!

I bought these for my husband after I bought them for myself and loved them! He was wanting to buy Nikes and I convinced him to buy these. He is very happy with them and can't believe the difference. :)
