Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 15

Great shoe; the most comfortable of all the Asics I have tried; the Gel Kayano series has been my favorite. It is like walking on a cloud; the cushioning is superb. I walk about 20 miles per week. I ordered the white/black/lime/pink combination. The only Nimbus 15 not on sale, but the only color I liked. This shoe runs small and a bit narrow; I ordered a 1/2 size up...8.5B to size 9B. Even in the 9B, I have to wear thinner socks. I hear the new Nimbus 16 has even more cushion and more room in the toe box.

Love these running shoes. Although I'm not a runner but I have aching feet in the morning and these shoes have helped a lot... a LOT. Great support. A must to order a size larger than your regular size. Width is pretty narrow which made me purchase a wide width. So my answers below are for the 9.5W that I ordered and not the 8.5 that I normally wear.

I have flat feet and over-pronate and the GEL-Nimbus 15 fit great. There is enough cushioning and support to make them extremely comfortable. And of course, Zappos' service is great!

As always Asics scores all stars with me. My go-to brand for running shoes. Comfortable and supportive for a run right out of the box with no need to break in. Love them!

Although I am not a runner, I decided to purchase this shoe for aerobics/cardio. My personal training group sessions are high impact and I found that my legs, ankles and feet were sore after working out. These shoes are GREAT and really helped during my workouts. I have the support that I need and don't have issues with sore shins, legs, feet, ankles, etc. I found that I didn't have to order a size up- for me they were true to size, but perhaps that is because I don't wear thick socks. The first time I wore them, I had to get used to the feel of the shoe on my foot and kinda break them in, but once I did, it was fine. I definitely recommend these shoes for anyone that is doing HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), High Impact Aerobics, Running or walking on hard surfaces wherein cushioning is needed.

Love this shoe. I have a narrow foot and this gives it to me. Plus, it wears well and I love the vip Zappos. It is here next day!

Best shoe I have found after years of running in Salomons! They are so light and so comfortable. Unfortunately the Gel-Kayano hurt my back since they have too much cushioning! These are perfect! I will buy them again!

I love Zappos. I have ordered 2 pairs of Asics from them and will continue to use them in the future. I went to a running store to be fitted for running shoes. Found the same exact ones on Zappos and they were cheaper and I got free shipping. They were at my door in a day or 2 after placing the order. Awesome. And I love the shoes. Great for running!

No one beats Zappos for quality of service! I got my kicks so fast; shopping here is more instantly gratifying than at any shoe store! I haven't had the Nimbus since the 9, and have been running in Kahanas for 3 years, but these are as awesome as I remember. So squishy, and with solid support for my high arches. Dig 'em.

I love these shoes! I am a casual runner 2-3 miles 3-5 times a week and needed a new shoe after foot injury preparing for upcoming outdoor running season. I had a soft tissue foot injury due to a minimalist style running shoe. This is a super cushioned shoe. I had been a Nimbus fan for a long time but felt the shoes got narrow and didn't last long. This shoe has a flexible sole and light weight even with all the cushion and feels like a hug on your ankle. We finally had a warm enough day for me to get outside to run. Normally I struggle but my feet and legs felt great after and the day after. 7 felt true to fit. 3 star for style due to inconsistency. I did purchase the Raspberry/Teal color and had rubbing on the inside on my toenails with the stiffer silver material, they were returned. No issues with the mango/pink color. Bought a second pair for work...I'm a hospital based Nurse, lots of walking.

Fantastic shoe, immediately comfortable. I've come to expect this from Asics and this shoe is no exception. Quality shoe.

In most shoes, I wear a 5.5 medium. I have never ordered a wide shoe before in my life. But Asics keeps making their toe box more narrow, so they don't fit me as well as they used to. The wide is perfect, even though my foot is not wide. My toes can wiggle while I run (about 30 miles per week) and it has great cushioning.

I was having some issues with my feet aching and having to ice after each run. That was fixed after moving to these shoes. Honestly, I was expecting a bit more cushion, but they improved my injury so I can highly recommend.

I listened to the reviews and ordered a half size up and they fit great! I have wider feet so they are a little narrow on the sides but the toe are more than wide enough and therefore make them really comfortable. The colors are just as vibrant as the photo! Great shoes all around.

The Asics Gel Nimbus is my favorite athletic shoe, and while the previous two versions were smaller and narrower than previous ones, the 15 is perfect! As a personal trainer I live in these shoes, and they're well cushioned and very comfortable. I have two pairs and get lots of compliments on their looks.

Love these shoes! Lots of shock absorbency--works well with high arch. Below I chose true to size. I needed a 1/2 size larger than I normally do, but it may be a true 8 1/2. Question was confusing.

What is wrong with ASICS designers and color? The color choices are all tacky, garish, and loud. I personally HATE purple, pink, and teal, and they managed to put at least one of those despised colors in every shoe. The men's colors are much classier, but I tried a pair and they were too wide and somehow seemed less cushy too. These shoes feel good, but it's unfortunate that I'll feel the need to avert my eyes from my own feet every time I wear them!

I exchanged this shoe twice - both times going up 1/2 a size in Wide. The wide width feels the same as a regular tennis shoe, even going up in size. I wear a size 10 - I went up to an 11, one size bigger to allow for room while running. Still too narrow. Shoe fit like a glove - very comfortable. Wish it fit!

These shoes are the bomb! Primarily, I ordered because I have had plantar fasciitis for 8 months. After wearing these shoes for two weeks, my foot has finally healed. They have great arch support. I also inserted a gel shaped "hidden arch" support pad purchased at Wal-Mart. They are very pretty also. They fit perfectly; however, I usually wear a 6 and needed a 6.5. I plan to order another pair before they decide to quit making them.

I've loved Asics Nimbus for years, and these are no exception. They have some of the best cushioning I've found in any athletic shoe. This is the first year that Asics has had this shoe made elsewhere, and they run one full size smaller than normal. I've read online that other people are having this same problem with their Asics that are made there too. So, first I ordered an 11 (my size in every other pair of Asics I've worn), then an 11.5, THEN a 12. (Thank you Zappos for paying for all that shipping!) Asics needs to address this sizing issue with their shoes made in such a country. Also, this shoe is a bit "girlier" in person. I thought they looked a bit "manly" online (red/grey color), but the color is a much nicer color in person (more pink than red).

I've been running in these shoes for over 5 years. I buy the new model every time I need to replace my running shoes. They are light, yet cushioned. An all around great shoe.

Ordered these based on other reviews and they were right. Super comfy. I have high arches and need a lot of cushion under the balls of my feet. Love these, they don't hurt my feet and they look cute too - not easy to find!

I just purchased my first pair of ASICS and I was a little concerned about them running too small for my size, but to my relief they fit perfectly. I am so glad I made this purchase. It was a hard decision because I've never spent this much for a pair of shoes, but having confirmed Plantar Fasciitis by my podiatrist the day before my purchase I went ahead and sacrificed hoping I would get relief from my foot pain. These shoes are so comfortable; they are the only thing I can wear right now that doesn't exacerbate the pain. They are attractive enough that I'm okay with wearing them 'everywhere' while my foot heals. I purchased the Lightning/Hot Punch/Marigold. I highly recommend these shoes.

I have never spent more then 100 dollars on a pair of shoes but I did on these and I would do it again. I had surgery on my foot 1.5 years ago and nothing felt comfortable to wear for long periods of time but these shoes are wonderful! I don't regret spending the money. I read a lot of reviews on these and most I found purchased a half size bigger. I normally wear a size 7 but I purchased a size 7.5 in these and they fit perfect. I love the comfort, fit and the colors are great! I get compliments on them all the time! I will purchase these shoes again without hesitation!

So comfortable! Just returned the Brooks Ravenna 4. Have tried pretty much every sneaker on the market. These are the best!
