Just ran my first 10 mile race. Did way better than expected and felt like I was running on a cloud. Great for those of us with very high arches!

This is my 3rd pair of Gel Nimbus 12. Over the course of the last few years, I've had foot/leg trouble - come to find out that basically I'm an under-pronator. I decided therefore to invest in shoes that target my gait. These work best. Yes, there's a couple days of breaking in but overall I can use these shoes as cross-trainers without a problem.

I love these shoes, I will not run in anything else. They are stable and the soles are so cushy!

I really like these shoes. The size is good and they were wide enough for my foot. It took me a couple of days to get used to the arch support but now that I am used to it I love it.

These shoes are excellent. My husband has a pair too, different colors of course and he weighs 245lbs. They are soft and comfy.

Love it! I generally wear an 8 wide in Asics - but listened to reviews and got the 8.5 wide - it feels great! Nice stability, laces are off to the side and don't cause any discomfort! Great shoe, plenty of cushion!

I walk 1 to 4 miles each day, 7 days a week. I walk in on asphalt, up and down hills. I walk in Asics shoes exclusively, and have done so for nearly 10 years. No one, I mean no one could get me to switch brands. That's because these shoes are the most comfortable and durable.

Normally I wear a 6.5-M, but I always purchase a 7-M in these Asics, which fits perfectly.

I love it! Fits like a glove and I use it almost every day (both at work in healthcare and running too!). The videos helped narrow down my choices to the two I purchased. I love Asics!

I bought these to replace my Asics Nimbus 11 shoes that I loved, and these seem even better so far. I wear a 10 in dress shoes, but took an 11 in these, as I do in all sneakers. I have a pretty narrow foot and these fit great.
They definitely have a good deal of cushion, so if you prefer low profile shoes (like Nike Free) these may not suit you, but for days when you need a cushy shoe, these are perfect.

I have tried other brands but always come back to Asics. The Nimbus has such great support and comfort for all of the different workouts I do. These are great looking too with the shiny black and purple accents. Love them!

I've been wearing this shoe for years, and I had tried to get it form the local folks, but when it didn't go smoothly, I ordered it from Zappos. Quick delivery and just what I wanted.

This shoe is worth every penny! I took them for my first run today and went further than normal and felt great. My feet felt insanely comfortable the whole run. These are the best running shoes I've had to date!

Wow, these are the best running shoes ever. My feet feel 20 years younger! Great cushioning and support. Wearing them today just to clean the house because they feel that good. The shoe could use a little more color, but the comfort makes up for any short comings in style. I've been wearing Nike shoes for many years just because of hype and popularity, but I'm definitely into comfort and performance these days. Can't wait for my next 5k! Did I mention that I love these shoes?

This product is offered on lots of web sites, but Zappos was the only one that had the size and color I wanted and free return shipping if things didn't work out. I am amazed that these shoes arrived 2 days after I ordered them...and no need to return them...they are perfect!

I was looking for a shoe to reduce foot and leg fatigue, found it in the Gel-Nimbus. I am on my feet all day this shoe has made my days much more comfortable, also worked with my shoe insert. Besides a great shoe it is sent from a great company. Cannot beat Zappos shipping times.

Asics are the best running shoes and the Gel-Nimbus is the best Asics style! I have been running for 25 years and have tried many brands and styles, and when I was introduced to Asics running shoes a few years ago, it improved my running. I tried the GT series and they were good, but the Gel-Nimbus are superior. The were comfortable right out of the box, great support and lots of cushion! Just a perfect fitting running shoe. I wear I size 8-8.5 regular women's shoes, but I ordered a size 9.5 in these so I can wear two pairs of socks. They fit perfectly.

These shoes are extremely cushiony. Not much support, these shoes are built for neutral runners. You should order a half size up unless you like your shoes to be on the snug side.

I had to exchange these shoes for a half size larger. After that adjustment they required no breaking in...instantly comfortable. My daughter ended up buying the exact same shoe...1/2 size larger also.

Great shoe! Been running with Nimbus for years! Have a regular arch, so not sure if it's ideal for flat feet. Sizing is on par.

I have finally found the shoe after ordering and trying out at least twenty pair. I needed a wide toe box, arch support, and ankle support for my narrow ankle. I got all these and more in this shoe when I was just about to give up. They have comfort and stability. Thank you Zappos for being patient with me. And you were also very timely. I almost always got the shoes the next day. Also, I wear a 9 in a reg. shoe and a 9.5 in these.

I ordered a "wide" width because I like lots of toe room...doesn't feel wide at all. Fit the same as the regular width size. For comfort and fit, I actually prefer my Nikes that I bought for half the price.

These are a good fit: a bit stiff at first but easy to break in. I had ankle issues with a lot of other shoes, and these seem to solve those problems.

This is my 3rd pair of Asics running shoes. These were comfortable the first time I wore them to the gym. My first impression of the shoe was that it was the ugliest running shoe I had ever seen! The eye row is at a diagonal and there are plastic pieces that look cheap. However,I had tried on several shoes and this one fit and was comfortable, so I kept them.

I love these shoes because they fit perfectly. I have narrow heels, and I have tried other brands. I keep coming back to Asic Gel-Nimbus because they feel so good on my feet! I am giving it 4 stars though, since my toes poke through the top and make a hole in the same spot every time.
