I'm very pleased with this shoe; no break-in required. My previous running shoes were Mizuno Wave Creation and the Asics have a bit more cushion.

Been using these shoes for years. Always great. This model seems to run a little more narrow than usual however and I have a narrow foot. I wear 8 in regular shoes, buy 9 in running shoes.

Great shoe! I bought the wide width and it fits comfortably. I usually wear a size 11 in a running shoe and this fits well. I wear a 10 in a sandal and a 10-1/2 in a street shoe. I love the wide widths that Asics makes.

Have been running in the Asics Gel Nimbus for the past 8 years. A year ago, I tried New Balance, and they weren't nearly as comfortable or supportive. The Gel Nimbus, needs no breaking in, you can pull them out of the box, lace them up and go for a run, without worrying about getting a blister.

I have a long, narrow foot, am extremely hard to fit. But Asics have always come through for me. I wear my Asics every day -- to walk the dog and to exercise in. I wear them with orthotics. Thank you Asics and Zappos for being there for me.

Wow! I wore these to work out at Curves and cannot believe how comfortable they are! With size 13 Narrow I never expected them to fit at all, much less to fit perfectly. I will definitely re-order so I can have an indoor pair for Curves and an outdoor pair for everything else!

New Balance--but they are heavier

At first I was hesitant to order this shoe because I have wide, flat feet with bunions. They were tight in the beginning but now they fit wonderfully. The "gel" in the sole is great and I even put in my own orthotics. I love them and would love to have another pair!

While my second Nimbus 12 shoes were a disappointment, these Nimbus 13 shoes are the best in the series so far. The heel cushion is especially apparent and the fit is perfect.

True to size and super comfortable. After trying many shoes, I finally found a shoe that doesn't hurt, nor after a day of standing do my knees hurt. Just wish they had more colors.

Fantastic sneakers. Like walking and running on air. On the pricey side but since I only buy sneakers every 2-3 years feel they're worth it.

I ordered these in a 10D. These are very stylish, comfortable and lightweight running shoes. I generally jog about 40 miles per week and these have been really great shoes with one exception. I have a very wide toe area and very narrow heel. I have noticed that my heel does slip a little while jogging but that might be my weird foot. But overall, these are great shoes.

Love these shoes! Trying to find a shoe that's good for my foot. I have flat feet, but am a neutral runner. I have run 20-25 miles a week and a half marathon in these shoes. No blisters what so ever! Would highly recommend!

I went through 3 pairs of the Gel-Nimbus 12's and loved them. I decided to try a different brand next, and that was a huge mistake. I got these shoes and wore them for the first time for an 8 mile race and then 11 more miles afterward for my training run. Figured they couldn't hurt any worse than my old shoes. My feet felt great afterward and not one blister! I will be stocking up on these shoes!

These shoes are very snug. Ordering a half size up might help, but I think the shoes would still be too snug for me. I like everything else about the shoe: nice arch support and plenty of cushion. I thought they would stretch out after a few runs but that did not happen. I will stick with New Balance the next time I buy running shoes.

As others have noted these shoes are very narrow. I have narrow feet with high arches. They were even too narrow for me and I am not built very big (5'5" 116 pounds). I am a runner and after about seven minutes into the run I could not feel my baby toe. I stopped and readjusted my shoes and socks with no luck. The cushioning is superb but but the numb toe is an deal breaker! The shoes are being returned for the Nimbus 12 which I have never had any problems with. Because the cushioning was excellent I gave them three stars instead of one star.

I love the cushioning of these but I got the wide fit and they are still too narrow for my foot. If you have a wide foot, this isn't the shoe for you.

Shoe was very cushiony and had good arch support, but it was too tight in the toe box, even after loosening the laces significantly. Not comfortable on my toes: they would go numb. I sized up as usual too.

Bummer. Not nearly wide enough. I ordered a 9 wide and my toes are squeezed and my foot pushes out the side. These don't come in extra wide so I'll have to return them.

I've been a huge fan of the Gel Nimbus through and including #12. I hate #13! I've been breaking in a pair of #13's and the re-design really really hurts the outside of both feet (just below the baby toe). I did not have this kind of problem with the previous models. Please go back to the design of the Nimbus 12! Thanks!

Ordered this in my usual 8 wide, but this was both too short in length and did not feel like a wide width at all. My first and last attempt with Asics, unfortunately.

My 2nd pair of Asics Gel Nimbus, and again they don't disappoint. Comfortable and easy to wear right out of the box. I use these shoes for running and definitely recommend. Love these shoes.

These are my go-to shoe. When a pair wears out, I buy the new color. I find this brand is a half size small. Usually wear an 8, but get 8.5 in these. I wear an orthotic so I take the insole out and put mine in.

Shoe is very comfortable and has great arch support as I have high arches. Fast shipping, very sharp looking shoe.
