I really like this them -- cushioned, fit great, and I only wish they were available in my size in other color combinations. I was thrilled to be able to get a pair of 5 1/2!

I love the comfort of this GEL-Nimbus15 for its wide toe box. Perfect! I ordered a 1/2 size up. My regular 8.5 size was too tight in this shoe. The 9 is perfect.

The Gel Nimbus 15 is one of my favorite shoes. I have bought four pairs of this shoe. Being a PE teacher, I wear these all day. I normally wear a size 11, but I have to buy an 11.5 in Asics. They have plenty of cushioning and support for my flat feet. I couldn't pass up buying one more pair with the reduced price. The Nimbus 16 is a great shoe also, I alternate between the two when exercising and working. I just wish they weren't so expensive, or I would have one in every color!

These are awesome shoes for running and long distance walking. They are like running on clouds. I am an under pronator with high arches and these work like a gem. They are a bit too cushiony for exercising. But they are fine for that use. I prefer the Cumulus for exercising. These are awesome shoes too, but a bit less cushiony. Before this I was wearing Nike Pegasus. Those are great shoes for under pronating but not as cushiony. Nimbus are my new favorites!

These are the best running shoes I have purchased in years. They combine support, stability, flexibility and cushioning perfectly. I have been running for 20 years and am constantly seeking out a well-balance shoe, the Nimbus fits the bill. I had actually ordered 3 pairs of shoes to try on and these stood out from the crowd in comfort. For comparison sake; I found them more flexible and springy then the Asics Gel Sendai, and much more supportive than the Brooks Ravenna 5. Immediately I started bouncing around in them (if you are a runner, this is how you know you have found a great shoe). The Nimbus is the kind of shoe you put on and makes you very excited to take them out for a run. I highly recommend this shoe.

I love these shoes! They are light but provide plenty of support and cushion. I bought the GEL-Nimbus 14 last summer and loved those as well. These fit the same. They are true to size. I have a history of shin splints, stress fractures, etc and these have helped keep my feet and legs healthy. I am not a major runner. Currently I run 3-5 days per week, 2 to 4 miles per run.

I don't run very often because I have problems with my feet. They are very flat and somewhat sensitive (always sore). I find that these shoes are really comfortable. They are neutral and lack any significant arch support - which is great for me. Plus the heel cushion is quite thick which minimizes the effects of impact. I've rotated through nearly every shoe manufacturer over the years wearing NB, Adidas, Brooks, etc....for a while until the shoe I like changes. At the moment, Asics seems to have the best option for my funny feet.

Can't go wrong with Asics Gel Nimbus. That's all I wear. Love that Zappos doesn't charge tax or shipping & they're here the next day!

I had a pair of Nimbus 12s that didn't owe me a dime before purchasing these. I love the new ones as much as I loved my old ones. I have a fairly thin heel but I like lots of room for my toes and these are the best I have found. I'm a true 8-1/2 and ordered a regular width. Very comfortable, well cushioned and I love the bright colors. The picture is pretty accurate as far as the color goes.

This is an excellent walking shoe. I bought these and took them to an amusement park for the weekend. Straight out of the box, no break in needed, everyone else was complaining their feet hurt, but mine felt great. Also I suffer from plantar fasciitis, stone bruises on my heels, and shin splints, but not with these shoes, they are super comfortable. 5 stars, hands down. I do find Asics run a tad small. In other sneakers I wear a 6.5 but in Asics I use a 7 and they fit well. Lots of room in toe box without feeling like you are moving around. I bought the green pair and they are awesome, nice summer color to wear around.

I loved this shoe. I am normally a 7.5 medium width, and I got this in an 8 wide, they fit perfect. But I am returning them because I am finding out that I am a pronator. Who would have thought. Even though these are so comfy and soft, there isn't enough support for a pronator. I am going to return and find a shoe made for pronators.

I love this shoe! I don't use this shoe for running but I do use them for working. I am a dental assistant and I'm on my feet a ton every day. I feel like I'm walking on a cloud in these shoes! Much better than the Brooks I had bought prior. Not sure why all the hype on those! I will never stray from my Asics again!

I would have to say these are the best fitting Asics I've ever purchased. I have purchased many of them. I have very difficult feet to shop for and these are super!

These shoes are great. I have purchased ASICS Nimbus in the past and they fit my high arch and wider foot perfectly. They were true to size and the color is awesome.

This shoe feels great on my feet. I run (a little) and it cushions my feet and gives them a little bounce. I didn't care a whole lot for the colors, but I'm old and silver and hot pink tennis shoes don't have the appeal they would have for a younger person. I would buy them again, however, for the comfort.

I love these shoes! I all ready had a pair and I bought a second pair because they are so great. They really cushion each step you take. I had the first pair since last September so they really last. I work out almost daily.

These sneakers make you feel like you're running on clouds! I typically buy EE For my wide feet, but this style runs wide so the D fits perfectly. Lots of room in the toe box. Asics are the best running sneakers for my wide foot w high arches. Love them!

Love, love, love this shoe! So much that I ordered a second pair and a third pair when I saw that there was just one left! I normally ordered 10.5, but ordered 11.5 in this one. I normally ordered medium, but ordered wide in this one. I put another orthotic on top of the one already in the shoe, because of my high arch, and it fits like a glove! I finally realized I needed to go up a whole size and increase my width size to wide, after returning several pairs! I think this shoe just runs a little short and a little narrow. Anyway, they fit great, now that I finally realized what I needed to do! This color is absolutely beautiful! I got the lightning/hot punch/marigold! I would give it 100 stars if I could! So comfortable! So perfect! Great price!

These shoes are very comfortable, however, the shoe beds did not have enough arch support which was sad because it was squishy and comfortable. I overpronate and require excellent arch support and a soft squishy footbed for shoes to be comfortable. I did take out the footbed that came with the shoe and replaced it with a powerstep original which gives me the support needed, just not as much squish under the heel and toe area. I have received many compliments on these shoes and I really like how they look even with the bright coral. The gray tones them down vs white. I wish they made these exact shoes in gray and navy with increased arch support! I also bought the Asics Gel Foundation Walker and they have more arch support than this running shoe (although I wish they had even more). If you have average feet, I think you will love this shoe. If you have problem feet, they are definitely worth a try.

Saw these being talked about on the Today Show and decided to give them a try. Best shoes I've ever owned for high intensity exercise. Did not need to even break them in. They are a little pricey, but so worth the money to not have achy feet. Fits true to size. Will not be my last pair.

The Asics Gel-Nimbus are my favorite tennis shoe. They have great cushioning and good support. I love the colors - bright and not pink.
