Super comfortable! These shoes fit like ASICS should fit. Very cushy and a lot of padding around the heel to make them some of the most comfortable shoes I have own.

Very comfortable shoes, I had been on the "nearly barefoot" kick for a while until my knees and other joints started to hate me for it. While that's probably my improper form's fault these shoes made running fun and comfortable again. Ignorance is bliss, thanks Asics!

Was having knee and hip problems running 2-3 miles. These seemed to have cured the problem, although my hair is still grey. I ordered an odd size from a nowhere town in the midwest at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday and received them at lunch time the next day. Zappos must have people hiding in the bushes with your shoes!

Zappos provided fast delivery as usual, these shoes fit true to size and are very comfortable shoes. I spend a lot of time on my feet, and they hold up well.

Great shoe and quick shipment. This are the best Asics shoes ever and I have been using since 2003 and run 8 marathons!

These shoes are great! As an over 65 year old runner, well, plodder, I am always looking for comfy shoes that support my feet. These really fill the bill. Worth every cent.

I have an extra-wide foot, so these ASICS are about the only things that fit me comfortably. I ordered the 4Es. They showed up promptly, and they fit exactly as expected.

I have a wide foot and high arches. This shoe provides excellent support and cushioning for long walks or runs. It took 1-2 uses for me to break the shoes in, but after that they were extremely comfortable.

Best fitting shoes I've had. Light and cushion. I'm happy with wide base for stability.

Quite a substantial running shoe, meaning that there is a lot of heel/arch/forefoot support, with nice cushioning. My only small complaint is that there could be more/thicker substance in the forefoot area, right under the ball of the foot and toes. It thins out right there, compared to what's built into the rest of the shoe. It does make for good toe-off, but I'll have to see how long that area lasts, whether I'll want an insert, etc. I usually wear size 7 Wide, but ordered 7.5 Wide, based on the reviews. The fit is perfect - not at all too long, but just right in width and length. Asics seems to have retained the same quality as past years' shoes.

Awesome running shoe. The support and cushioning in the front of the shoe is great. Very comfortable right out of the box.

I absolutely love the Nimbus line of shoes and the 12 certainly does not disappoint. Great running shoe inside and out. My favorite color scheme to date.

I didn't know what to expect coming from a Kayano 16, but I am extremely pleased. I can't say enough about how great my feet feel in the Gel-Nimbus 12. In fact, I jumped right back on Zappos and bought me another color and I'm going to get my dad some for his birthday. On top of how great they feel walking and running they also look good. I'm 6' at 190lbs with normal arches and these are a joy to run in.

I have never owned a pair of Asics and my feet are wide, but I didn't even have to order a wider size with these. They have a nice size toe box and are extremely comfortable. I didn't need to spend any time breaking them in. I use them for exercising in the gym and my everyday walking shoe. I like the color too, because there is not a lot of white to get dirty and because of the black and gray dirt wont show up as easily. Great purchase!

This service was great. I ordered the two-day shipping, and they upgraded it to overnight for free. The type of service you don't find anywhere else.

I am a customer of Zappos for life and once again they have amazed me with their service. I returned a pair of running shoes due to a flaw and received a full refund with no hassle. I ordered my Asics Gel-Nimbus 12 on 2/5/2011 in the late evening and received them 2/7/2011. I am 6' and weigh 188 and the Asics Nimbus 11 is a great shoe for me since I require the extra cushion and neutral support. I just ordered and received my Nimbus 12 and have not had a chance to run in them yet, but they feel just as comfortable as the 11's did. I have become a Asics Nimbus fan for sure and would recommend this shoe for great cushion and support in a light weight stylish shoe. Zappos service rocks.

I bought these after being advised I had a high arch. They seemed a little big, but comfortable. I'm about 175 and 6'0 and put a lot of pounding on these, and they have held up well. Would buy these again and would use Zappos. Ordered on a Monday late morning and received on Tuesday.

So far so good. Unfortunately running shoes are expensive and need to be replaced after a few hundred miles. Zappos is excellent. I did not pay for shipping and the shoes were here the following day!

This brand was recommended to me by a runner for walking as i hit the treadmill almost daily. I was very impressed not only how quick they arrived but how good they felt. Very lightweight and breathable with the mesh tops. These shoes actually help correct pronation. Know your pronation behavior before spendind the money on these awesome shoes or you migh be disappointed. Watch the video for explanation at the below website;

This is my 3rd pair of the Gel Nimbus 12 shoes and they rock. They look great and feel so comfortable when wearing them. I've had 2 knee surgeries in the past 3 years and rely heavily on the comfort these offer. A+.

These are simply incredible shoes. It really does feel like you are running on clouds. I even used orthodic inserts with these and they still felt amazing.

A great shoe. Much improved over the last few generations of Nimbus. My favorite so far since the Nimbus 7.

Most walking/running shoes seem to be made for people that pronate. These are neutral and work much better for me. Great shoes.

Great shoe. I've been running in Asics Gel-Nimbus models since 7 or 8 and this is my favorite yet.

Absolutely awesome. Just had microfracture surgery, and the added cushion helped a ton. No foot or knee pain on 1 mile run! The weird lacing adds to the comfort (first pair of this type). Most comfy running shoe I've ever had on. Color is ugly as sin...gold flecked with black tones...ugh, but better than too bright!
