Great shoe for feet that underpronate/supinate (flexible mid-sole, good cushioning overall). I'm really enjoy walking (for exercise) again! When I'm back in shape, I'm sure I'll enjoy running in these as well.

This is my second pair i love these shoes. I used to have sore feet when i would stand most of the day. They have also helped with my knee pain.

These are excellent running shoes. I have been wearing the same style for over a year and they work great for me. They are a neutral shoe with some arch support. There is a little lift in the heel which I like. The toe is very roomy with a more snug heel. Very "cushiony" compared to other running shoes.

I have been wearing the GEL-Nimbus for years. They are my favorite running shoe. I also wear them to my step class and body pump class. I have wide feet (but not wide enough to order "wide" shoes) and these fit perfect. I saw these were on sale so I had to get another pair! I do not wear any other tennis shoe. Also, ordering from Zappos is one of my most favorite things to do!

Asics Gel Nimbus is the only shoe I will buy to Jazzercise in. It is a great neutral shoe. The shock absorption eliminates my knee and foot pain.

I play padel, a sport similar to tennis in a hard court and I always wear Asics. It's my first time with the Gel-Nimbus and I am very pleased. Very comfortable from day 1. Until now, no complaint with my Asics.

I am very pleased with the Asics Gel-Nimbus 15 - I am a walker in the city and most of my route is concrete sidewalks - I originally ordered my regular size 9M but I did return them for 9 1/2 W and they now fit perfectly. Return and exchange were easy. The laces stay laced although I would have liked longer laces. Well worth the purchase price. Very comfortable walking shoe.

These sneakers have the most cushion of any that I tried. They seem to run a half size smaller than other Asics that I've tried. As always, Zappos has the best customer service!

I was a little skeptical, but I really like the Nimbus 15. I normally wear the Cumulus, and for workouts, that is still probably the best shoe for me. However, I really like this shoe for walking around the mall or for any occasion when I will be standing for long periods of time. I normally wear a 10.5 in Asics and this shoe seems to run true to size.

As a 15 year Asics wearer, I wanted to splurge and upgrade the to a higher GEL model. I truly love the Nimbus feel and look. My orthopedic surgeon and my physical therapist recommended Asics years ago after broken metatarsus and ankle bone injuries years ago. I must wear the best, stable, and light weight athletic shoes. I exercise daily 1-2 hours aerobic cross training, HIITS class, cross fit, some step, equipment, cycling, and zumba. I think for dynamic movements this Nimbus proved to be best. Wild color, yet I am a purple fan. Zappos saved me in pricing over big box stores!

This shoe is really comfortable. Its a bit tight at first but it stretches out. I had to re-adjust the laces until I liked the way they fit but this shoe is a keeper! The color choices could be better. I bought the "lightning/hot punch/white" color being that it looked most regular and can go with anything. I would still definitely get this shoe because of its comfort and stretch! I bought a 7.5 and I am usually that size.

I have had the Nimbus several times before but these are running short compared to the others I have had. I would have gotten them 1/2 size larger but you do not have them in stock in the medium width. :(

These shoes are fantastic. I had a lot of problems when I have tried to run in the past. I have seen huge improvements in my running ability since ordering these shoes. I also love how flashy they are - totally matches my personality!

LOVE the comfort and support of shoe. Unbelievable the softness/bounce of each step while total support is consistently felt. Excellent customer service with fast ship. Zappos an information check is suggested as I was told this color (wine) from China; box states China; HOWEVER, the shoes inside I received clearly state Indonesia! How could this be? Knowing the location of manufacture is critical so proper size is ordered. I gambled for sake of color and was rewarded with shoe that fit size I ordered. Suggest accurate information be posted per color. Shame on ASICS for making size thus purchase this challenging. Great experience Zappos as usual!

I've had many pairs of ASICS running and court shoes. As with the others these ran true to size, comfortable right out of the box and required no break in period. Have received many compliments on the great color already.

After being a Nike's girl for awhile - I would buy the Pegasus sneakers over and over - I switched to Asics after having some quality control issues with Nike. Zappos was amazing and sent me a replacement pair but the same problem occurred with that sneaker and have sworn off them ever since, I switched to the Asics GT-2000 and loved them so after those died after a year, I decided to order these. These are the cushiest sneakers ever! They are a bit heavier but I like them a lot. I actually pulled a hamstring waterskiing recently and have been trying to self-rehab it and these sneakers don't destroy me too much on my runs.

These fit great! I did go up a half size from 6.5 to 7. I love Asics and was unsure about this pair at first but the wide option is wonderful for someone like me! Highly recommend these!

Bought these and got a FitBit. I've walked 800,000 steps in these shoes, right under 500 Miles. Not kidding. Best shoes I've ever owned and I'm now an Asics customer for life. The outer rim of both of my big toes is constantly somewhere it touches the shoe but it doesn't effect my performance. it just feels a bit tender so I know I need to order half size UP next time. Great heel and arch support, material is light and airy. I've lost 20 lbs in these babies and with my fitbit I'm a changed woman. Highly recommend these no matter what your fitness level.

Well, it was time to retire my Brooks. My poor babies saw a lot of miles with me, probably more than they should have! Aside from the aforementioned, what prompted me to buy the Gel 15's was that I started to notice shin pain, Achilles' pain, and that I underpronate in my left foot. I am hypothesizing the pain is due to my worn out Brooks. I read a lot of great things about the Gel 15s. Unfortunately I have not been able to run in them yet, but I bounced around, walked, etc. in them. So far I am really impressed with how well cushioned these shoes are, especially on the balls of the feet. They feel very pillowy and I can already imagine a little extra oomph in my running gait! Thankfully my pair of Gel 15s fit fine, despite other people's frustrations with size. I was really worried that I would not get a pair that fit properly. Do be aware that the tongue of the shoe and the back that cradles the Achilles' tendon are very cushioned. Way more cushioned than my Brooks - it actually surprised me! I love the coloring of the lightning/hot-punch/marigolds that I got. I think they actually look cooler than the picture shows. I am biased though because I love those bright colors :) I look forward to running my first 5k in a few a weeks - I know I made the right choice choosing these. Plus the price is damn good! Get them while you can. If you are new to buying running shoes, or if this is your second pair (this is technically my third, but I bought my first years ago in high school) be sure to check the width in your old shoes so you can get the best size. You can find your width on the inside of the tongue of your old shoes. It helped me!

I love this shoe. I have had such a hard time finding a good fitness walking shoe. I am a large women and need good cushioning. Boy, this is it. Walked 4 miles the first time I put it on.

I luv these shoes! I am an ASICS fan & have tried many of their styles. But I keep coming back to the Gel-Nimbus. They are not easy to find, but I am so happy Zappos carries them. I need a narrow shoe w/good arch support & no other shoes gives me the fit I get w/the ASICS Gel-Nimbus. The color is a bit loud, but I will adjust for a good fit!

Zappos rocks! So do these shoes. I'm an Asics person (they seem to be slightly wider around the widest part of my foot than other brands), and am very happy to have my shoes delivered to my door. Thanks Zappos!

This is my fave running shoe of all-time. Quality shoe for the price. Stylish and functional. Because it's the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned, I wear them more than I originally intended, which is forcing me to workout more. It's a win win!
