Comfortable running shoes. I did have to insert a Superfeet insole for more arch support. Other than that, ran in these Asics for 80 miles with no ankle, foot, or knee pain.

Fantastic shoe for someone who needs cushion and has a neutral foot. I have been buying the Nimbus for myself and my husband for years. Never disappointed with Asics. It says it's a running shoe, but a treat for your feet even if you just walk for your workouts. I always buy a half size bigger in Asics. I am always amazed how fast my deliveries from Zappos arrive at my door. Awesome!

Best choice I made, this shoes look and feel good. The style is different and goes with my personalty. The only negative is that they are too good that I've seen them in other people often. I would definitely recommend these shoes.

These are excellent neutral runners, they wear out a bit faster than other brands, but are very comfy.

Very comfortable, well padded running shoe which has support but without stiffness or compromising flexibility. I am a female, but the men's fit is more comfortable me with the slightly wider option. Sneaker helps to gentle "correct" my under pronation.

Great shoe! Very comfortable and good looking. I have found that they run one size small.

I've had these shoes for about 3 weeks now and I am very impressed! I am a moderate runner at about 20 miles per week. I made the switch from Nike Shox and I will never go back. I had a lot of trouble with shin splints and now I have no pain. Even improved my 5k time by almost 4 minutes. Love these shoes!

These shoes are great for someone with a normal to underpronating stride. Extremely comfortable and durable.

This was my first pair of Asics in a long time, and my first pair of shoes I've purchased from Zappos. I bought them back in May, and have put about 500-600 miles on them. I've run a couple of 5K races, a 10K race, and am just ordering my second pair with about 5-6 weeks to go before a half-marathon in November. They have held up very well. I have used New Balance for a long time since they have been easier to find in 4E widths. I was quite happy with these Asics and liked them better than my New Balance. I feel they have held up longer and were easier on my joints and feet while running. So, back on the Zappos site to order my second pair of these 12's, and will try the 13's next time around.

I am not a serious runner, but after deciding to take it up, wanted to get a good pair of shoes. I underpronate, maybe supinate a bit, and thought these shoes would suit me best. I have now put 50 mi on them and love 'em. Zappos was the only site that helped me decide by detailing the shoe run type ( neutral, pronate, etc ). My feet never hurt, knees are good and I don not have shin splints. I'll be buying another pair in a couple hundred more miles.

We buy these for my husband. He is a big guy with major knee and back issues. These are the only shoes he can wear to be on his feet for any length of time. Good that they come in 4E--many good shoes do not. Cushy insole and good support

I bought these shoes to help stop shin splints. They are incredible! I am 6'5" and 240 pounds. It is hard to find shoes that provide the support I need. These are like running on air. I highly recommend these to anyone big or small.

Have had these shoes for a week with four days of running in them and so far they are perfect! Have always worn Nike shoes but now that I am doing serious long-distance running, I had to become serious about what goes on my feet. The Asics do it for me. And what more can you say about Zappos? Have been using them for years and they have me as a customer for life. The site may change, the company has grown, but the customer service remains top notch!

This is the best running shoe that I have ever worn. Instantly comfortable and perfect from the first step. I have not felt my knee act up since I have worn this shoe, will get it again and again. Thanks Zappos for your great service and for accepting my overseas credit card.

It's hard to find shoes for supinators (foot rolls out) but I found supportive footwear with the Asics Gel-Nimbus 12. They're a little funny-looking but oh so comfortable. And I received the shipment the next day - wonderful service from Zappos.

These are good sneakers. I was hesitant because I was a Nike purchaser for about 15 plus years, but I believe I found my new sneaker brand for my life. They are so light weight and they are so comfortable. I feel like I'm walking on the moon, something my Nike sneakers never did for me.

The Nimbus 12 has superior cushioning and is seriously comfortable. I love the asymmetric lacing! And as usual Zappos service was outstanding.

Right out of the box I was impressed. These look just awesome. I have been running in Asics for a long time and once again they did not disappoint. I bought these for my long runs and they are perfect in every way. I am buying another pair I love this color scheme.

I'm 6'0 at 200lbs, and run about 20-30 miles per week. These shoes are great! I have tried other shoes, however, I always come back to the Nimbus. These are great training shoes and offer plenty of cushioning for heavier runners.

I actually bought these for my son, and he likes the combo of very good cushioning and ASICS support. They are on the more cushion-y side, so if that's what you want, these are an excellent choice. I wear ASICS running shoes myself and love them.

My son loves these shoes. They have a nice cushy insole and give him the support he needs. They also breathe some for the hot Texas summers. Also, we love to shop with Zappos. The shoes come the next day and the return shipping is free if anything doesn't fit! Excellent customer service.

These Asics have changed the game when it comes to comfort. I've had these shoes for 5 months now and the fit is still excellent and they made even the most comfortable shoe I had feel rock hard. I'll definitely be purchasing a Gel-Nimbus shoe again.
