I'm not a crazy runner, so I can't judge how "good" they are, but they are comfortable and fit true to their size! I'm happy about my purchase!

These shoes are great. So comfortable, fit great, look awesome. I am hooked. I am normally a size 8 and wear an 8.5 in these shoes.

I am a new runner and these shoes are great! They are very comfortable and have excellent support. I did mark them as feeling narrower. I have a really high arch in addition to wide feet, so the shoes were a little tight until I wore them a few times. I love the color too!

Great cushioning! If you've had the Cumulus, you will like this one, too!

I've had two surgeries on both feet and can never find a shoe that I don't want to get off of my feet in a couple of hours. I love these shoes. They fit great and are so well cushioned on the bottom I'd rather wear them than nothing at all! I'm even going to take up running again! I highly recommend. I usually wear an 8 1/2 in other shoes but have always bought 9's in Asics! Enjoy!

Price was great and the service excellent. They arrived the day after ordering, exactly when the customer service person said they would. I would recommend Zappos to my friends and family.

I really love this shoe. I wear them for all sporting activities from running to biking and I really like them. They fit just right, are light weight, stay tied, and are very comfortable. I have orthotic inserts and these shoes have removable cushion inserts to accommodate them perfectly.

I have tried numerous running shoes - I always come back to Asics! For my style running and high arch, this is the best choice! I like the wider toe area - I do not need or want toenail problems.

Love these shoes, comfortable for long runs, just the support and cushioning that I expect. And stylish at the same time. Plus I am a Zappos customer for life - fast shipping and service. It doesn't even feel like I am shopping online.

Great running shoe. I have a neutral stride (no overpronation, etc) but tend to get shin splints if I am in the wrong shoe or have over used my running shoes- these are terrific and I never get shin splints in them. Fantastic customer service too!

Love these! The color is great - I got the black and plum. The white in the mesh breaks up the black, so I don't feel like I'm wearing black shoes. They are light and super comfy. I run in them all the time. Asics are my favorite runners. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9. I got the 9 in these, and they are perfect.

The Asics Gel-Nimbus 12 is a great shoe. I am not a runner, but wear them to the gym and for casual wear. They seem to run a little small.

Love my Asics! I run half-marathons and marathons, so I put mucho miles on my shoes every week. Asics give me the support I need and I believe they help me stay injury free. I wouldn't buy any other brand. I also love my Zappos! I wouldn't shop anywhere else.

I normally wear a size 10 med; have a very high arch; and have been dealing with stress fractures for 3-4 years that are finally healed. For some reason, arch support, 'cushioned sole' and motion control do not go together in the world of tennis shoes. After doing a lot of reading on the different shoe descriptions, ASICS Gel-Nimbus 12 came up as the one that might work. I use these for exercise class as well as for my walking. So far, they are doing the job of giving me the support I need, and cushioning my foot, too. And I did not need to use an insert!! After living in Dansko's motion control clogs and sandals, it's so nice to be in a lighter shoe and one that flexes and has a soft base. And I get compliments on my cute tennis shoes.

Very comfortable shoes with excellent support for my foot type. I tend to roll foot inward so have knee issues. I wore another pair of older tennis shoes just to switch out and by the end of day my feet were killing me. I'm definitely throwing them out and possibly buying another pair of these to switch out as I wear tennis shoes approx. 5 days a week. I gave 4 stars for style because they basically look like everything else on the market. The silver is very shiny, but that's okay, reflective probably. I don't wear them at night so that wasn't a selling point for me, but might be for others!

I've worn Asics Gel-Nimbus for years. They seem to be just what my feet, legs and running "style" need. I tend to put lots of miles on them and replace them when they go on sale - so I usually get a couple of pairs late in Asics roll out. I like some colors better than others, but there haven't been any awful ones yet! I am fairly "old" for a runner and have zero joint problems, so I attribute a lot of my "success" on these shoes. These are excellent shoes for a person needing neutral cushioning. Unlike some reviews I only order the shoes 1/2 size larger than my regular street or dress shoes. When I tried a whole size larger my foot slid to the front and the inside of the heels wore out quickly. Until something changes I'll stick with the Nimbus!

This shoe has it all. Support and lots of cushion. They were on a list of shoes recommended by my foot doctor. I've had 2 pairs in 2 years. Then I decided to try another brand that were also on the list, Nike and Brooks. Sent them back. No other shoe compares to the Gel Nimbus for fit and the cushion I need for plantar fasciitis. I wear orthotics so I get a 1/2 size larger and they are perfect. This is my third pair and I'll never even bother trying another brand again because as far as I'm concerned this is the best shoe out there. Worth every penny. Make sure you tie them evenly snug from top to bottom (love the off center lacing too) and your foot won't slide around inside. They almost feel like moccasins if you know what I mean. These shoes just feel like a natural extension of my feet and we love to walk.

I have worn Asics running shoes for many years. This pair is heavier than any of the others. Occasionally, I will try a different brand (Saucony, Nike, etc.), but I always come back to Asics -- they are the best fit for my feet. I have very high arches, my toes turn up, moderately wide foot, and narrow heel. The laces on this shoe are off-center, and that feels much better on the top of my foot. I order a full size larger than I normally wear because I wear thick socks.

I've been running with these neutral shoes for the past couple years and love them. What a great way to purchase my shoes. Good pricing. Super customer service! I ordered these shoes on Mothers Day (Sunday) and received my shoes on Tuesday of the same week by 12 noon. Wow - stand out service!
