Looked everywhere for this shoe...it's amazing. Don't be fooled by the newer version for this Asics 14. They are not the same. The 13 are so much better than the 14. The 14 has less cushion and your body will feel the difference!

I had a Brooks shoe for years which never really had enough support for me and eventually I was getting knee and leg pain all the time. With this shoe I know it will last me a while. They feel like walking on clouds. I am not a marathon runner, just casual exerciser so I can't say how they hold up to a real pounding but so far so good, no leg/knee pain!

These shoes are awesome! Would definitely purchase again. I've been a Nike fan for years and I have a pair of AirMax 2012. They are great shoes. These Asics Gel Nimbus are much better!

Great shoes! This is actually my third pair of Asics. They fit super, are durable, provide great support. I am also able to put in my custom orthotics with no issues. This is my go to shoe not just for the gym. I also love this color combo.

These are great athletic shoes! Fit perfectly right out of the box. They have so much cushion and support if feels like you're walking on pillows. I can't wait to get out and run some miles in these. Thanks Zappos!

This is a great shoe! It has lots of cushion and reduces a lot of shock so it makes running more fun and enjoyable. I just wish ASICS had more color options. Overall, highly recommended!

I am an Asics fan whether I am using them to run or just as a comfortable walking shoe. I am SO happy with the Nimbus. My mother swears by them for arch support. So they are very good for that. I use them for jogging on the treadmill and I am so happy with them.

Very comfortable, true to size. I judge dog obedience and I can stand all day in this shoe without discomfort!

Classic Asics styling. In my humble opinion, the Gel-Nimbus is the best running shoe on the market. Asics is on it's 14th version of the Nimbus, but the 13 is a throw-back to past models and, for a reduction on price, beats out the latest. I use to run outside, daily, for miles at a time. Generations of this shoe have saved my feet a lot of pain and grief. This shoe fits like a glove and supports heel rolling and arches. Trust; it is worth forking over your hard earned cash for a top-of-the-line shoe. Even though I do not run as much as I once did, I am on my free all day, and these shoes rock! Just freaking buy them already! Oh wait! Make sure to size 1/2 up from your casual shoes. I normally wear an 8...the 8.5 fits best after your feet expand from heat.

I had never spent this much money for running shoes and I am now convinced! I had tried a few different brands, but these are amazing! The cushioning is super and really seems to help absorb the shock from my overweight body jogging on pavement.

Love these shoes. They feel light and cushiony, and are true to fit -- narrow from the toe box all the way through the heel. Great purchase. The colors are OK (I wasn't in love with the options ASICS had for this model), but the fit is exceptional.

This is my third pair of these shoes. They fit perfectly-could run in them right away. Zappos delivery and service was as satisfying as the shoes!

First of all, I like Asics. The Nimbus 13 is a fabulous shoe for all types of fitness: weight lifting, machine cardio & group fitness classes. I highly recommend the Nimbus 13!

Another great shoe from Asics. I do miss the off-center laces from two years ago. Having the laces off-center allowed me to tie my laces tighter without pinching my instep but they are still great for race walking.

This is probably my 5th pair of Gel-Nimbus shoes. I love them so much I just keep buying the same ones! I am 5'4", and 118 lbs. I run about 20 miles a week and train for 10k's and half-marathons. These shoes offer great cushioning without a lot of weight and bulk.

Best shoes ever! I always purchase Asics. However I recently purchased a pair of Nike Air Fusions to try something different. I was very disappointed. I bought these and felt the difference immediately. These Asics are the best I've had in my Asics history. They have great support, the cutest pair I've purchased (I bought the grey and purple) and they are very comfortable. I usually wear a size 11 in shoes but I always buy a 1/2 size larger for my running shoes. The shoes are a perfect fit. I have flat feet with a regular size width. Again these shoes are my favorite pair of running shoes in my life.
I'm considering purchasing a the black and aqua color. Buy them you will not have any regrets!

These would be perfect because of the fabulous cushioned walk you will get, but I have a bunion and these were just too narrow for me even in the wide width. Also, I had to substitute a less thick insole because the arch support was too high. Note that the Lightening/white/magenta color for these shoes is much more attractive in person than in the picture. The gray part is shiny but not garish.

Just got these yesterday and from the minute I tried them on was totally thrilled. So comfy. No toes crunching and perfect fit too! Did 5 miles wearing them today and no problems! Love them!

I ordered the wide in these, and I have never worn a wide, and I think they are very tight across the instep and toe area. Try as I might they still pinch my feet.

Good neutral running shoe. I have worn many the earlier editions of the Gel Nimbus an this compares well to the others, although the foot bed is definitely more narrow than the Gel Nimbus 11 and 12. Great shoe overall though.

These are the most comfortable shoes that I have have ever owned. They fit my long narrow feet (AA) perfectly and the cushioning is just right. For running shoes I did have to go up half a size.

I had shin splints so went to doctor for orthodics. She recommended either New Balance or Asics neutral shoe with most cushioning. After researching, this was the one that fit the criteria. Fits the orthodics well and so far has helped with the shin splints.

I've been running in the Nimbus for many years. This new version does not disappoint! It is cushy and comfortable, and makes my feet feel good during my runs. I love the colors, too!
