Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 12

I love, love, love these shoes. I have "old" feet (61 yo) and I'm a fitness instructor. I need cushioning--these shoes are the most cushioned, best shoes I have ever found. Nimbus 13 was changed a bit-- so I went back and bought additional Nimbus 12s in every color. Fantastic!

I have been wearing the Asics Gel Nimbus shoe to run indoors and outdoors for 5 years now and I still love them. I have had the 10, 11, and this is the second 12 I have purchased and they are extremely comfortable. If you like running shoes with a little more padding these are perfect for you.

Very comfortable, especially if you have wide feet. SO great for walking.

I am a loyal Saucony customer, but this time I stepped outside of my box. I started with black athletic shoes for work and I need extra cushioning in my heel due to a car accident. Many of the different brands (I had even tried bringing in the Brooks Addiction Walker) just did not have enough cushioning and shock absorption in that heel. So I ended up with an Asics. For my everyday I purchased these shoes. They seemed very comfortable and my foot does not object yet.

I just got into running about six months ago, and I was having problems with my knees. I decided to invest in some new shoes, and I decided to try Asics for the first time. I have definitely become a loyal fan!

Asics Gel Nimbus never disappoints for those of us with wide feet who want the same comfort and performance in a running shoe that our normal and narrow width-footed sisters enjoy. Wonderful impact absorption and stability. I feel as if I'm running on clouds. Great for people with sensitive knee joints and prone to shin splints. I've been buying this ASICS model for years and have tried some other brands but none have given me the satisfaction of the Gel Nimbus. Only downside is the price, but in this case, I find that the higher price is worth it.

So comfortable! Very cushiony & supportive for running. My mom is a physical therapist, and she recommended Asics. I'm glad I went with her advice. I wish they offered more stylish color options, but since it's a running shoe, comfort and quality are much more important than looks! I wear an 8 1/2 or 9 in most shoes, and a 9 1/2 in running shoes, but these fit me better in a 9.

I was a loyal Nike fan for years, but I bought these shoes by recommendation from my cousin and after reading the positive reviews on the Zappos website. Well I must say, they were all correct when they said these are some of the best shoes they have owned. I, too, am really happy with the fit and quality of this shoe and would definitely buy them again!

Amazing! I have never worn tennis shoes so comfortable and with such great arch support. I went and bought a pair of ASICS for my boyfriend, too. Only thing is the shipping took a few days longer than the 1 day shipping Zappos promised, but its not a huge deal since Zappos usually has pretty good service.

Love these shoes! They are not only cute - but extremely comfortable, lots of cushioning. I am a neutral runner, and these fit the bill perfectly!

This is my favorite shoe. I have been wearing it for years. I loved the dark colors. Dirt doesn't show up as much and makes running in the rain easier. And Zappos was phenomenal!

I love how I can run longer with these shoes. They provide the support and breathing my feet need to go further. These are my favorite shoes! I am buying the same shoes now, but in a different color. My only suggestion would be to make more of these shoes in different colors.

I bought these to wear while standing in lines and walking around at Comic-Con. They are absolutely amazing. There is great toe space, and the perfect balance of cushioning and support. My feet were comfortable for all the miles of walking and standing!

This pair of Asics is my second one from Zappos. I do all indoor exercising, including treadmill and biking. These shoes are great! As usual Zappos gave me first class service!

This is a good, stable running shoe. I don't run super long distances, but it's well-cushioned and comfortable.

I first have to write of the superlative service of Zappos.com. In less than a week's time, I have had to ship/return 3 pairs of shoes to get to the right size and model of shoe. Hello, let me repeat: less than a week. Zappos is the best company I've ever dealt with and a true representation of the best the U.S. has to offer. Kudos Zappos team. Kudos. As far as the Asics Nimbus 12, by far more comfortable than the original shoe I started with (Mizuno Wave Rider). I have high arches and a narrow foot--an underpronator. This Asics shoe was recommended on all those runners' threads so we shall see. I normally wear a 6.5 in other shoes but got a 7 in the Asics (they say you should always go a half size larger in an athletic shoe which means I am on right on target). Will probably review the shoe's actual performance after a couple of weeks but this review, again, is really for the awesome Zappos team. Thanks, thanks, thank you!

This is the second pair of ASICS Gels I have purchased and they are the perfect workout shoe for me. I lift weights, take Zumba classes, walk, and participate in other exercise classes. These shoes are the most comfortable athletic shoes I have ever had. I hightly recommend them for anyone who is active.

I will never buy anything other than Asics again! I have been an avid Adidas runner for over ten years. I recently purchased a pair of Adidas and they gave me the worst blisters I have had in my life. So, I decided to buy the Asics Gen-Nimbus 12. I ordered a half size up and the wide version and they fit perfectly! They felt amazing the first time I ran in them and they felt so light and comfortable. I usually run about 4-5 miles five times a week and I have had no problems whatsoever! I love these shoes and would recommend them to everyone!

Great comfortable shoe for walking. I always have problems finding the right walking shoe, but this is it. I will definitely order another pair.

I'm getting over an injury, and it's super important to find the perfect shoe to help support healing. After lots of research, this ASICS is the one I chose, and I don't regret it. Amazing arch support and incredible fit. Very happy!

Great shoes, I'm really happy with the fit!

Love the sneakers. This is the second pair I've bought. They help with my herniated disc. The cushion is great. I highly recommend these sneakers.

Loved these shoes for running, walking, or just going to the gym. Fit excellent and looked great! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good all around workout shoe with a focus on support for running.

I have high arches, so was a little worried about ordering online, but Zappos Customer Service makes it so easy! Perfect fit! A little shiny for my taste, some metallic material, but I'll get over it. So far, I love them!
