I have never owned sneakers this comfortable. The insole feels like you are walking on gel. The size is true to fit but because I need some room in my workout shoes, I purchased a half size bigger.

I love this shoe. I've owned 5 pairs of Nimbus. I decided to try Brooks. Hated them, my legs hurt like crazy. Nimbus is the best shoe! Great support I have a higher arch and they are perfect.

Very comfortable. Sole is cushioned. I've walked many 4 miles at a time in these sneakers since I've purchased them ans there great! No blisters, or rubbing. Great purchase!

Colorful and comfy. True to size. Bought them to use as gym shoes, but wear them all the time. Get ready to be noticed!

I ordered these because I have knee weakness. They are supportive, and comfortable. They were recommended by someone on the Today Show, and she was so right! They are most supportive tennis shoes I have ever worn.

Favorite sneakers ever. This is my second pair of Asics Nimbus, every step feels like you are walking on a cloud. I love the wild colors, they are the reason I had to have them, but the shoes are great even if you get a different color! Also I have insanely high arches and these actually cushion every part of my foot, it's awesome.

I had been searching for a sneaker that would alleviate my plantar fasciitis pain. Found some that helped, but couldn't get rid of the pain, even with custom orthotics. The Nimbus 14s did the trick for me. Great cushioning. Very comfortable. Had to break in the toe box a little as they rubbed my little toe a bit at first, but after a few times wearing them, they feel perfect. LOVE THESE!! (Because I wear an orthotic in the shoe, can't really comment on the arch support)

Just finished the Chicago Marathon, wearing Asics Gel Nimbus 14 with Injinji socks, and I had no bone/joint/tendon pain or tenderness, no blisters, and no injuries. I have high arches and these shoes provide the support, stabilization and cushion, I need for long runs. My only wish, would be to make this shoe a little lighter, without sacrificing any of the shoe's positives.

Nice shoe! I have large feet and wearing these Asics made me not look like I was wearing clown shoes. Great color and fit. I walk all day for my job and these have held up nicely. I do add inserts and extra padding because of my foot pains. The roominess of the sneaker was helpful in that I could insert these extras without any foot squeezing.

I bought these when only the size 6 were left, which was a little risky, because I usually like my ASICS in 6-1/2... although not super-risky, because of Zappos's generous return policy. I was also a little suspicious because it wasn't clear if these would be adequate for a moderate overpronator. But I was just so seduced by the awesome colors and the thought of the gel inside the shoes... Luckily, they are a true 6 but with a wider toe box, so they fit well. I ran 4 miles in them right out of the box and had no blisters and no knee or achilles pain, which can sometimes happen if a shoe is not supportive enough in the arch. And that gel... so cushy! I wore them to work in defiance of the dress code because they are just so cush. Great shoes!

Most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned. This is my second pair. The gel conforms to your foot. Great support for standing and walking all day in any weather condition. Amusement park with the kids to medical missions in hot countries.

This is my second pair of this exact shoe. I don't run miles in them (I like my Brooks), but I wear them to teach elementary P.E. I also have a white/blue/green pair. They are very comfortable and supportive for standing, walking, jumping, hopping, and dancing in the gym with kids all day. I love this pink/black combo. I can wear them with almost everything. I like that the sides of the sole are black. Probably just me, but I think it looks better than stark white when wearing black athletic pants. I get about six months out of them with almost daily use in the gym, not outside. They look perfect, but I can tell when it's time to replace them. I've worn almost every brand of athletic shoe, and this one is a favorite.

These shoes are divine! They provide really great support and it feels like I am running on pillows. I put in about 12 miles per week and wear them everywhere! These are great!

I absolutely love Asics, have worn them from almost day one of running. These are my first 'mid/upper price' pair of Asics. I love them. I typically run 5-6 miles at a time and never have a regret. Definitely will purchase from this line again. I do purchase a good half size larger, 1.) being for the shoe running a tad small, and 2.) to give my toes that extra bit of room

These shoes are very comfortable and look great! I tend to walk on the outside of my foot, so the cushioning is nice. Plus I love this color, which disappeared for a while. Glad it's back!

This seems to be a great walking shoe with a lot more cushion, especially on the ball of the foot, than comparable Keens or Merrells. It feels like the shoe height is higher (I guess to make room for all that cushion) so I'm still getting used to that. The gray color is nice -- not so bright like the other Asics options.

I love Asics! This is a very comfortable shoe and I feel very stable, almost like the sole spreads out for more ground coverage. I have metal in my ankle from a break long ago and a heel spur in the other foot so good shoes are very important. I always pick Asics and these defiantly do the job!

They really got the Nimbus 14 right, just a shame it's been discontinued! Great neutral running shoe with superb cushioning and toe-off. I found the toe-box to be just a touch tight at first, but they did loosen up after a few runs. I may have needed to go up a size for optimal comfort right out of the box, but it wasn't bad enough to return them for a larger size.

My favorite running shoe EVER. I have a high arch and this shoe provides stability, support, and is still light. This is my 4th pair and is also very popular with my running friends. We are all 3-10 mile runners - not marathoners!

I was looking for the perfect running shoe and these shoes were it for me. I have a little bit wider foot and the toe box on this shoe is a little wider/rounder so they work perfectly for me. They run true to size and although I like all the bright colors available in shoes now, it's nice to have a pair that's a more neutral. Would recommend without hesitation.

Ordered this shoe for my wife and she really likes them. Says they're VERY comfortable with a lot of gel cushioning that gives 'spring back' action when running on the treadmill. She's not an avid runner, just wanting to 'hold on to what she's got' as she puts it. Good purchase, would highly recommend to others as Asics brand is what I run in daily.
