I have been trying on all different types of pronation and support shoes for the last 3 days and these were the best (besides the Kayano Asics which they didn't have in my size). The only difference was that the Kayanos were cheaper & had a higher arch support they also felt pretty sturdy &'cushy.' For a running shoe I liked the Asics GEL-Nimbus 14! Surprisingly I felt these were better than Brooks Cadence, Nike Reax, Asic Gel 33, and a whole line of shoes ranging from Saucony, Other Asics, Brooks, and Mizunos. That says a lot! I haven't run in them at the indoor track or on pavement just yet but they feel amazing and don't seem to rise up on the heel when walking which is an issue I had with a few other Asics I tried on. I'm not typically a "Pink type of girl' but they are cheery and more unique than the bland white and pastels.

I have a real problem with pronating. Customer service very helpfully directed me to the location of information on which shoes prevent pronation. I've worn these nearly everyday since they arrived. They are so comfortable and have really reduced the pain I was experiencing. I highly recommend these shoes!

I've had these since July and they are awesome! I love how they feel and the cushioning is helpful for all the walking uphill that I do.

Most comfortable shoe in a long time. I am a walker, over 4 miles a day, on hiking trails and flat trails. I have narrow feet, so these shoes even the medium is well suited for me.

I am glad to share with all buyers that this choice of Asics is by far the greatest detailed shoe. It has a remarkable fit, and true to size. The description Zappos gives this shoe is accurate and I was rewarded with wonderful service. I was wearing my shoes on the morning of the second day. Seamless, gracious service. Thank you.

I always love purchasing my new Asics! I love the Nimbus. I have run using the Nimbus 12, 13, and now 14 and they are all awesome. They get me through my training runs for races and then just keep on going right through the races too. They are light, breathable, and comfortable. I've never had a blister or black toenails in these shoes. Just love them, and especially the new bright pink! I've been hit by a car, so the brighter the colors the happier I am! Thanks again Asics!

Love the shoes. AND LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the color. I've bought every pair of Gel-Nimbus and they never disappoint on comfort and support.But finally running shoes with a little character that aren't super ugly.

I love these sneakers!
I have bad feet and I put these on, and they were like magic, I was able to walk without pain and jogged for the first time in 3 years, and for 7 days in a row after pulling them out of the box, amazing!

I've worn this style since training for my first marathon, so I know it's a winner. This was the first time to purchase them online and not through a running store. The happiest part of my purchase through Zappos was that I could get them in this fabulous color! No running store here even knew this existed. And I think pink makes me fast.

I have a high arch and small feet - size 5. This shoe is perfect for me. I've had all sorts of knee problems until I started running in these shoes. They are perfect for me.

Best running shoe I've found. I started with the 13s and the 14s are even better. Just be aware that every pair - even the same size - fits slightly differently. So keep trying and you won't be sorry!

This is the second pair of Acics Gel-Nimbus I have purchased. They are pricey, but they are the most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever owned! And probably the only kind I will ever buy again.

I always have used the Nimbus and loved it - but just used these new updated Nimbus 14's and they are awesome. The step feels a little cooshier and yet they are supportive. They are the best shoe I've had yet.

This is my 2nd pair of Nimbus sneakers because I can't imagine wearing any others. The gel pad and cushioning feel like you are walking on a cloud. It absorbs the impact when walking and cushions your joints. Awesome shoes worth the exorbitant price!

This is my fifth (sixth?) pair of Nimbus and this pair fits as well as my first. I'm not the biggest fan of the color scheme but that doesn't affect the comfort at all. Great fit for a neutral foot.

I found these run large. I have always taken a size 11½ in Asics. The Nimbus-11 were my first running shoes and my favorite. I also wore the Nimbus-12 then my disappointment led me to Brooks Glycerine 8, (also 11½). With all the improvements to the Asics GEL-Nimbus 14 , I was eager to try them so I ordered my usual 11½ size. They feel half a size too big. I wore them outside for a couple runs and would not feel right returning them at this point. Be aware that you may need to try these on first and if you are on the fence about returning them for a smaller size, just do it. Half a size too big is too sloppy and blisters are just not fun. Other than the size issue they are super comfortable with the memory foam addition. I like the style and I am thinking of ordering another pair in size 11 just to give them a fair shot.

Love these. Upgraded from Nimbus 13, which I also loved. Both shoes feel like walking on clouds. Have plantar fasciitis and need lots of cushion on my heel. Do lots of walking on hills. These are perfect!

I have been suffering from plantar fasciities on both feet for over a year now. I love to work out. I do turbo kickbox, Bokwa (you have got to try this really fun and addicting dance exercise), and step aerobics. I'm at the gym six times a week, often with back-to-back classes on weekends ... but unfortunately, I will then be limping for the rest of the day. But thanks to these God-send shoes, I am now in less pain!! They have great support for my high arches and the cushioning feels like foam, no, more like clouds, for my sore and painful heels. Thank you, Asics! I have now officially converted from Nike.

I am in love with the Nimbus! This is my third pair. I have tried other Asics and even Brooks but I keep coming back to the Nimbus. I have degenerative disc disease so a proper supporting everyday shoe is a must! These fit the bill! Only one negative, the price, but it seems that you get what you pay for.

I love these shoes for running! They have made such difference in knee and ankle imPact! I opened them at 9 at night and loved them so much that I went for a run. I have wider feet and they feel great!

I have been running in Asics Nimbus since for over 13 years and the Nimbus 13 was terrible! They did not hold up at all, the fit was awful. I am looking forward to wearing my new Nimbus 14 as I train for the Nike Women's Marathon. Hope they've gone back to what always worked before.

I loved this shoe the minute I put it on. It fits my narrow foot perfectly and is very cushiony. I'm not a runner but this is a great shoe for walking. I'm so grateful that Asics makes narrow shoes for working out.
