These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Whether I'm exercising or just on the go, I can wear them all day with no discomfort. The premium cushioning is well worth the extra money.

Perfect running shoe! Have tried many brands and this shoe is the best for me. I have high arches and this shoe supports my feet well. Very comfortable and creates no blisters even during longer runs.

These sneakers are really comfortable and I love the colors and lacing system. The style is also really nice. They fit true to size and if you have a narrow foot, Asics is a good brand to go with. I can\'t comment on the arch support since I use inserts.

I like this shoe and it is worth the price. Very comfortable; had to go up a size to fit the orthotics. Was wearing New Balance - it is a good shoe - but I did not like the chunky way the heels looked. The Asics look slimmer and nicer on my feet for a woman that wears a larger shoe. They're like walking on air. Also found Zappos Birkenstock is the only shoe that I can wear without my orthotics once you break them in. Crazy looking shoes, but if your feet hurt you will sometimes wear a crazy looking shoe.
Great customer service and help; will order again from Zappos.

It's hard finding narrow shoes, so when a pair actually fits I feel like Cinderella! I wear an 8AA, and ordered these a half size larger (8.5AA). The arch support is good, but not as good as my old Gel Kayano Asics. I use these for walking and the occasional run.

I ordered these shoes after my podiatrist diagnosed my foot pain as plantar fasciitis and a plantar tear. They have excellent arch support and stabilize very well. Took a few weeks to break in. Run true to size. Off-center lacing rubs my bunion a bit, but it best walking shoe I've ever owned and believe it's helping my foot heal faster!

This shoe is amazing. I am an avid runner. The very first time I wore these shoees, it felt like I was walking on clouds. The cushioning is phenomenal. The only bad thing I have to say is that it took a little while for my foot to get used to the laces, after the first couple of times I ran, the top of my arch (on the top of my foot) was sore to the touch from the laces pressing on my foot. Your foot gets used to it after a few runs. I just ran a marathon in them a week ago and my feet felt great right up until the end!

I have plantar fasciitis and very high arches, and Asics are the only shoe I can wear. I love these Gel Nimbus shoes. I'm not a runner, but I walk daily on a gravel road and these shoes remain comfortable all day long. They are very nice-looking shoes, as well. Worth every penny. True to size, also.

This is my second pair of the Gel Nimbus 12's. I take and teach group fitness classes and these are perfect for stability, jumping and running.

These are the best shoes! The support is great and the gel is so comforting. I actually use them to power walk. I walk 2-4 miles per day and I have bought these shoes for the past 2-3 years. I love them!

I have purchased various Asics over the years and these are the best. Recovering from Neuroma surgery on foot and these are the only shoes I can wear and not have foot pain. I can finally take my dogs for long walks. Plenty of room in shoe and full of cushion.

After trying on many athletic shoes for months, I came across this Asics Nimbus 12 and bought it because the salesman said it had the most cushion, which is what I needed for plantar fasciitis. He was right -- lots of cushion and very comfortable. This shoe has helped my feet tremendously!

My favorite sneaker to date! The gel cushioning is far superior to air cushioning. My knee trouble is greatly reduced, no problems from feet or ankles. Big improvement over other shoes I\'ve used! They\'re a keeper!

I love them. I always order my running shoes 1/2 larger than my regular shoes and that was the perfect fit for me. I am 5'6", 127 lbs. I like to run 5-7 miles and also do p-90X and insanity wearing these shoes. My legs feel great afterward. That is usually a problem for me; my feet always hurt, not with these shoes.

I have been ordering ASICS from Zappos for several years and have yet to be disappointed. I do order a half size larger but always do that with athletic shoes. I use these for working out at the gym, aerobic and total body strength and conditioning. They are supportive and flexible for what I need to do.

I've worn Asics sneakers almost exclusively for 5 or 6 years. I decided to order 4 different styles & planned to pick my favorite 2 to keep. Well, as soon as I tried on the Nimbus-12, I was sold. They were so much more comfortable than the others that I decided to exchange the other 3 styles for another pair of Nimbus-12. The asymmetric lacing looked odd at first, but when I do a 10K walk my feet swell. I have to loosen normal lacing to keep them from causing pain in the top of my foot. The asymmetrical lacing seems to solve that problem. (Can't speak to the arch support since I use an orthotic.)
