Good study running shoe - not as light as others but what I was looking for in shoe to wear around town.

I have worn Nimbus for years. My favorite was the 12's. The 15 is still a good shoe with cushioning and support. I agree with other reviewers that where shoe was made does make a difference. China seems to be the best producer of this shoe.

I love these shoes! I noticed someone else had mentioned that this shoe had a larger toe box than the previous year. It does and it is wonderful. I have been wearing them at my job where I am on my feet for almost 8 hours!

I have a high energy dog that requires an hour of walking a day. I have a narrow foot and my previous shoes weren't giving me the arch support I needed. Usually I wear a 9.5 - 10 but I needed a 10.5 for proper room with these.

Great shoe. I run gravel roads and mulch trails very stable. I had knee pain this shoe has elevated it. No hot spots even at first run out of the box. I usually wear an 8.5; I need a 9 in this shoe.

Comfortable immediately - great arch support (I have high arches) and the the narrow width is not too wide. I ordered my Asics a size larger.

I received my Asics Gel Nimbus 15 shoes from Zappos three weeks ago, and never have my feet been so happy!
After trying several brands of athletic shoes the last few years, the Asics brand is still my favorite for overall comfort and support.
I am also very happy with the service and price of the shoes through Zappos.
One important thing though. I tried the shoes on first (in a store that couldn't match the Zappos price) and discovered that Asics shoes made in Indonesia are about a half size smaller than regular shoe size. So I ordered a half size up and the fit is perfect.

Love these shoes! Had worn out my last pair and really wanted this color. My usual shoe store did not have it so I tried Zappos. First time I have ever ordered through them. They were cheaper! Shipped promptly. Will be shopping here again! Thanks Zappos!

Awesome; I love them right out of the box. I ordered 1/2 size larger based on all the reviews recommending that and they are a perfect fit. Really cute colors, bold and fun. The most perfect running shoe I've ever bought.

Quite fashionable and, for me, a good heel support, multi purpose tennis. I am pleased, and especially like that it comes in W sizes.

So happy with my purchase. The nimbus 15 fits my foot like a glove. I usually have issues finding a wide enough toe bed but this shoe has it!its a very supportive shoe that I can tell will help with my underpronation.

Like running on a cloud! These are fantastic on rough, cracked Chicago roads and sidewalks. Beware though because of the inch thick gel there is no road-feel. They are not super supportive so if you seriously over-pronate, get something else.

I have worn Asics for 7 years, but the updated shoes leave little big toe room. I never used to wear out the top before. I have to find a different brand.

This is my second pair of the Nimbus15. I love the shoe, but this pair for some reason is smaller than my last pair. Maybe the factory changed the dimensions slightly, but I would say to go up a 1/2 size to get the right fit. I've already worn them on several runs thinking they would change, but they haven't. That all said, I still think the shoe is very cushioned and supportive.

These shoes not only have some spunk with the new color options, but I couldn't be more thrilled with how comfortable they are. I have a rare deformity in my right foot, there's an extra bone near the arch. This shoe is the only one that hasn't caused me any arch pain. It has given me the best support for my arches! These shoes make my feet happy. Can't wait to put some serious mileage on them while training for my first marathon! Thank you Zappos for having these fabulous shoes!

Good running shoes. I'm usually either an 8 or and 8.5. An 8 worked well in these. (I usually run 20-30 miles a week.)

I wore Asics Gels for years when I ran because I have high arches. My last pair were Kahana 3's. Size 9. So after experimenting with some walking shoes [Nikes] since I don't run anymore, I decided to try these and based on reviews got 9.5s. Too small, but I insert Superfeet insoles. Thank you Zappos for just prompt service! The size 10 works perfectly and I'm so glad I returned to Asic Gels. At first I thought this style was too bright but I've gotten lots of compliments on the colors. Perfect, comfortable shoe and my feet no longer ache. I love these shoes! No more walking shoes for me even if that's all I do these days!

Bought these for my wife, as she started running on a daily basis and needed a nice shoe. I've been running in the nimbus for many years...can't count how many pairs I have owned. Great shoe, great comfort, great value.

This shoe is amazing, truly great support for my arches (I have had plantar fasciitis in the past). I am a nurse and a runner so I need really good support for my high arches. Great customer service too! Ordered a half size larger as other people had specified in reviews, was perfect!

Great shoes. Very comfortable, fit my foot very well. I've had a string of bad luck with Asics, these were my last try. Fortunately they seem sturdier and better-made than some other lines of the brand. Well worth the money.

I really loved my last pair of asics. I took a chance with Nike last time, and it just wasn't the same. I also have knee issues and feel that these help with the absorption as well.
I have slightly wide feet, but never went for the wide size in shoes until now, and I am glad I did.
I am always a 7.5 and ordered the 7.5 wide and they were WAY too tight. I sent them back for an 8 wide and they were perfect! If you're not sure, I'd suggest getting both and just returning one to compare.

I get why these are called "Nimbus". They are like walking on squishy clouds. SOOO comfortable. I'll be honest, I'm not a runner but I do walk and wanted something that would be comfortable while I spend hours on my feet. These are it. They also give a little spring to my step. If only I could get these in a dress shoe, I'd be set for life. I am between a 6 1/2-7 and ordered the 7. I do not regret this decision.

Very padded and comfortable! I love to baby my feet in comfort and these most certainly do. Ordered half size up like I normally do and they fit perfect. The colors are true to the picture shown and sharp. These are the types of shoes that when I find something that fits this well, I usually go ahead and buy 2 pair. If only they had more variety in color schemes maybe I would've done that. I use these for everyday use as well as at the gym and they do the job well for both.
