I have worn only Asics for the last 4 years. Unfortunately they discontinued the pair that I liked. I tried another similiar Nimbus, but they are not the same. I wear a 12 but had to send them back because they run short. The 12 1/2 is okay, but something about these shoes just isn't right.

I have just about given up on asics. They are very comfortable and great to run in, but the durability of the mesh is garbage. I cannot justify spending this kind of money just to have my toe poke through the cheap mesh. I have not purchased the 15 because of my problem with with 13 and 14.

Shoes were 2 different sizes. Kept feeling tingling in one of my left toes. Not sure whether to try with another pair or not. Disappointing.

I bought a 9.5 wide and they are too narrow in the toe box and offer little cushioning. I have the ASICS 2160, which are no longer made. They are the best running shoes ever made. They were wide enough with awesome cushioning under the ball of the foot and great ankle support. I'm having trouble finding anything that even comes close.

These shoes has fallen apart on me twice, once in 6 weeks and then the new pair died in less than 4 months. If you want to wear these every day expect to buy 4-5 pairs a year!

VERY disappointed. My last 5 pairs of tennis/running shoes has been Asics. I began using them as I have skinny heels and hated needing to do the fancy tie to hold my heel back in the shoe. With these, even doing the fancy tie to pull the heel back doesn't work. My foot slides forward and my toes are crammed. It is almost like the arch is too far forward and my foot is seeking it out. (I went into a box store to try on the correct size and didn't notice any issues other than their color choices were less than desirable) Blisters and rubbing on the toes like when I used to dance en pointe. I've only worn a handful of times but I can't do it any longer. I do not recommend!

Have worn this shoe style for many years. Not the same shoe. Way too small, toe box narrow. Have always loved this particular style. It's changed! why?

TOO SMALL. I normally wear a women's 12-12.5 so I ordered a 13 from Asics. It still didn't fit! This shoe would've been so cute to wear this summer but I sent it back. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT in Asics. Since 13 is as high as they go I can't just 'size up'. Guess I'll buy from their competitors.

I've had Asics for the past 15 years & always purchase the high-end models and they've been awesome! However, lately they aren't all that great, especially what you pay for. These shoes don't have any padding & they feel cheap (which they are expensive), very disappointed right now in Asics.

Not sure why this shoe gets such great reviews...it's an extremely clunky, heavy shoe with little flexibility and inconsistent sizing (two different colored pairs fit differently - one was shorter than the other despite both being 7's). Overall my feet hurt in these shoes. Not worth the price, in my humble opinion.

I have been buying Gel-Nimbus running shoes for years. This model's size is not true and very different design than previous models. Definitely disappointed in Asics redesign.

Quality Control Please! I see that someone just posted (11/13/2013) a review stating the same frustration I've experienced. The Gel Nimbus 15s I ordered a few weeks ago were manufactured in one country (F30113 PZ) and, as expected, are a fabulous fit. I wear 11s and need a roomy toe box - the shoes are perfect! - so I ordered a second pair. Can't wear the second pair as they feel a full size too SHORT. I see that they were manufactured in a country other than the first pair (F580713 PI). I really want a second pair ... don't know what to do now ...

I have been buying Ascis for about 5 years. I usually get a new pair every six months. I have been so disappointed in the quality of their shoes about the last 1 1/2 years. I will not buy this brand anymore. These shoes are cut so narrow across arch area and I got a wide. The first pair I got was defective on rt shoe arch had hard surface sticking up and sent back. What are you doing to your shoes Ascis? Way to ruin a good a good of shoes by making cheaper and charging the same price and more. So disappointing. I will buy again from Zappos. They never disappoint!
