Asics are my go-to running shoes for indoor and outdoor work outs. This pair feels a little stiffer than the Asics 8 Nimbus I recently purchased, but I like it.

This is a very comfortable shoe. I have problems with my heel. The first time I wore them you could feel the heel cushion. I plan on purchasing another pair since these are so comfortable.

Bought these shoes for the Susan G. Komen 60 mile walk! Haven't done the walk yet, but they've been awesome during training! Amazing comfort, and good tread, very light weight, and breathable material helps cut down on sweat. Good shoe for "normal foot print" type feet, maybe not good if looking for major arch support. 2 thumbs up!

These folks have the online shoe buying model right. You have to be able to try the shoe on before you buy it. I think it is unethical to try it at a shoe store and then buy it elsewhere. Having free shipping for the purchase and the return makes it work. Having a prepaid label for the return means you just walk in the UPS store to the front of the line and hand it over the counter. Refund was done quickly to my credit card. Shoes were received quickly. My whole family likes this company.

I am a Letter Carrier for USPS I walk about seven hours a day. I have only bought ASICS GEL shoes for the last 10 years. I have found for me the best is Nimbus. I do get half a size larger because of swelling by the end of the day.

I absolutely love my new shoes! They are a great fit and I love the colors! They were delivered promptly and they fit perfectly! I will be a repeat customer for Zappos!

These shoes are softer in the heel area. I was suffering from pain that affected my inner right heel from wearing Nikes that were fitted to me by a local running store. So I researched shows myself and decided to try the Nimbus. I have no retreats with this purchase! As long as I stick with the Nimbus I have no heel pain.

I love these so much and, of course, get a lot of comments/compliments about them. They do run a bit small, I was tempted to order a half-size higher, but I just wear them with thin socks, they work fine.

These shoes arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and they are very comfortable! There is lots of cushioning in the heel & footbed. Like walking on pillows!

I have never had a more comfortable shoe. I had a very bad sprained ankle from volleyball 20 years ago and it bothers me still. This shoe has helped by endurance while walking. The service I received was excellent. I love the shoes so much, I ordered another pair a few days later. Five stars!

I have a very narrow foot, and these shoes fit great! Even the toe box is not too boxy. I love them!

These shoes are great! I have struggled with tendinitis in my foot for years, but these shoes are so supportive I have not had any problems since I started wearing them. I can run long distances again with no pain. They are so comfortable. I highly recommend them.

These shoes are on like Bing Bong. Everywhere I go people stare. I put a picture on Facebook and had 56 likes. Don't be silly. You know they're awesome. Very comfortable and light.

Took these out of the box and went for an 8 mile trail run. No issue with breaking them in at all. I love how cushioned they are!

Love Love Love these shoes! True to size, and they are light but supportive at the same time. They didn't need any "breaking in" time. Would definitely buy again and recommend!

This is a fantastic shoe for those with narrow feet and high arches. The extended shoe sizes make it easy to buy the "1/2 size larger than regular shoe" that most running shoes suggest. Heels are springy. I've worn New Balance forever, but this shoe has made me an Asics believer!

I've been a loyal Nimbus-wearer since I first started running eight years ago. Fortunately every evolution of the shoe has been great for me - this one is consistent with the great padding, neutral build and overall comfort that the Nimbus has always provided me. The awesome color scheme just puts it over the top!

Love the product. I suffered with bone spurs on my heals for years and haven't had the problem after running in these shoes. They are a little narrow toward the front of the shoe near the ball of the foot but I just loosened laces and am hoping it will be better when they are broken in.

I love these shoes! Asics seem to run smaller than I remember, but I already knew so I got a larger size than usual. Plus you need extra room for running. They are very light weight, and breezy. When I ride my bike outside I can feel the air through my toes. These are nice shoes for Florida! It gets super hot here, but I am not sure if I would like the amount of air flow on a wet, or cold day. I love the colors! These are very squishy shoes. If you are looking for structure and support these are not your shoes. I am wearing these shoes for the Never Quit race. I want to look good for my photos.

I love these shoes! I have a flat arch and my feet are very wide. It is difficult to find a comfortable shoe that doesn't give me blisters or make my feet hurt when I do a 5k. This shoe is a winner!

These really are great shoes. I purchased them just before we went to Disney World. My feet were VERY happy! I received a lot of compliments on the color but more than anything, I do not pronate and the toe box is wide enough that my toes didn't hurt at the end of the day. I have since been running 5 miles 3 times a week and have no issues. I do have the Nimbus 12 and 13 and really enjoy these much better. They seem lighter and have a bit more cushion. I usually wear a size 7-7.5 but tend to push forward, even with the runners lace, so I continually order a size 8 and that fits perfectly.
I'd also recommend:
just asics!!

I read lots of reviews and I love my Nimbus 14...I was supposed to have foot surgery as I couldn't find any shoes that didn't aggravate a "bunion" of some form on my foot...well, I found the shoe and I'm not having surgery until I absolutely have no other options. The Nimbus plus an insert has changed my world. I am on my feet for a living and go through a pair of shoes in about two months, but the comfort is worth every penny! I love Zappos' customer service too!

I've worn Asics for years now and finally needed a new pair--these Nimbus 14 were great right out of the box. I wear a 7 1/2 shoe but always get an 8 in sneakers to leave a bit more room for socks and expansion. Asics have a nice wide roomy toebox, great support and excellent cushion. love 'em.
