Great shoes! I have knee problems and these shoes were recommended to me for comfort and stability. They provide both. The metallic is a little flashy for my taste but the fit and comfort are truly outstanding.

I really like these shoes! I am training for a half marathon with these and have yet to get any blisters (my old running shoes gave me blisters all over when running for extended periods of time). I bought a half size bigger because I read the reviews saying they run large, and they aren't bad, but I think I could have done with my real size as well.

These shoes are great - different looking that the other pairs I've had over the years. Super comfortable! I use them mostly for circuit training and running.

This is one of the best exercise shoes I have owned. I need a lot of arch support and heel cushion and room in the front, and this style provides all of it. They are pricey, but worth every penny. The black laces and black touches on the shoe make it look cleaner too.

Still getting used to the offset laces. The Nimbus are reliable for the cushioning needed in each version. Happy to have them!

These are my tried and true runners. 15-20 miles a week...I've been wearing these for years. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The shoes are very comfortable. I feel like I walk on the cloud. They provide unlimited comfort while walking or running. Also, Zappos has great service and speedy shipping. I will definitely come back for the business.

Totally happy with by Asics! They have always been a great running shoe and so dependable. I wore my other shoes out so when my new ones arrived, I felt like I was running on clouds. I would highly recommend this shoe!

I’m a long time user of Asics brand shoes. I was a Kayano disciple for many years. However, last year I started having arch problems and heel tendon issues. I decided to try a shoe with more cushion and purchased a pair of the Nimbus. I’m 6 foot, 155 pounds and a have a neutral foot strike so I wasn’t making that radical of a shoe change. The Nimbus really exceeded my expectation in terms of comfort. I log anywhere from 30-40 miles a week primarily on the road, but occasionally on the treadmill when the weather is bad. The only issue I had with the Nimbus is a small blister on my left foot, pinkie toe. This was acquired when I was breaking them in but I’m reminded it’s there periodically after a long run. I did, however, just purchase another pair of Nimbus from Zappos, so obviously it’s not that big of a concern. I’ve also tried another cushioned shoe from a top shoe manufacturer but it didn’t have the same snug feel the Asics give me. I’d be remiss to not also mention the awesome customer service and speed at which Zappos can get an order processed and shipped. My wife and I are both runners and we purchased more pairs of shoes than we probably should have last year and we’ve been more than pleased with Zappos and the purchases we’ve made.

I love these shoes. I always get Asics Gel Nimbus because I have wide feet. Go up a half size at least for running shoes. I usually take a 9 1/2 and I got size 10 in these. They are very comfortable, and they have very good support.

Great shoe! Ran my first half-marathon in these after my white/pink Nimbus 12s got packed down. I love the color combination, too. I usually wear size 8.5 or 9, but bought a 9.5 for running. Very happy with them!

I am a severe underpronator with high arches and I purchased these shoes last June after plantar faciitis surgery. As soon as I was allowed out of the surgical boot, I wore these everyday. They lasted six months and I am certain are responsible for my full and successful recovery. I'm sure they would have lasted longer if I were not running on gravel trails. Wonderful shoes.

Was replacing a Nimbus 10 but fit was different with the 12 - wider toe box that allowed too much movement. I'm bummed...the 10 was a great shoe.

I love the Gel Nimbus line and they are very comfortable cushioned shoe. I say they are like running on pillows. I am a personal trainer who has clients 6 days/week, jog my dogs 5 days a week, and workout everyday. Definitely worth the price! Even though I have a narrow foot and Asics are typically wider they still feel great. These are for people whose feet don't roll inward and therefore don't need the support of a stability shoe.

This is a super comfy sneaker w great arch support. I've been an ASICS fan for years. That said, I tried on several others in the gel line and these were by far the most comfortable! Well worth the extra money paid compared to the other less expensive gel sneakers.

I got these shoes for my daughter for Christmas. She had requested them because she said they were supposed to be the best running shoe. The reviews weren't wrong. She says they are the most comfortable running shoes she has ever had and is thrilled with them. As usual, Zappos came through again. I really like doing business with them.

These are the best shoes I have ever bought. I can tell such a difference in the support of these shoes compared to any other shoes I have had. Zappos made it so easy and quick to purchase. I would highly recommend buying from this company!

This is a very comfortable shoe. I have a narrow foot with a high arch. The arch in this shoe is not quite high enough, but the shoe has an excellent fit.
