Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 15

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!

I was looking for a replacement for my discontinued Asics GT-2150 so I tried Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13, Asics GT-2000 (supposed to be the direct replacement), and Asics GEL-Nimbus 15. The GT-2000 weren't as stable and seemed to compress more in the heel than any of the shoes I compared. The Asics GEL-Nimbus 15 and Brooks Adrenaline GTS-13 gave me the stability in the heel that I was looking for. I like for my shoe to not be able to "rock" much side to side. I run heel first and want to feel my leg is aligned through my knee and hip because of the stability in the heel of my shoe. I came close to keeping the Brooks because of the heel stability and they seem to have more arch support than the two Asics. I decided on the Nimbus 15 mostly because the Adrenaline GTS 13s feel like they have a curve to the toe area that helps to rock your foot forward. It felt strange to me because I'm not used to that, but it could be a good thing for some people. I'm still breaking in the Asics GEL-Nimbus 15, but am pleased with how they feel so far.

I'm a 6.5 in most shoes, I usually end up with a 7 for my running shoes. I have had 1 previous pair of Asics and ended up with a 7.5 in those. So, I tried the 7.5 in this one and it was very small. I exchanged it for an 8 and that worked. These have great cushioning which is what I was looking for. Better cushioning than the Nike Air Max 2012 that I used to wear and the Asics last much longer. My first pair of Asics lasted over 3 months (I run over 100 miles a month) and this pair is still going strong after 6 weeks. I will get the Gel-Nimbus 15 again, they have the best cushioning I have found in any running shoe.

I'm a big fan of the Gel-Nimbus although I get frustrated when they change the models. Nimbus 15 really works for me though--I'm a heavier runner with a neutral stride and it's comfortable and cushy. I even like the loud colors this year--I feel like it makes me more visible and safer on the streets. Nimbus tends to run about a size up so I get 11 while in other brands I may fit a 10.

Theses shoes are a bit pricey in my view BUT well worth the extra $$. I work and walk all day on a concrete floor, I have a plate & 3 screws in my right foot, these shoes a great on my feet and body. My running days are behind me but I know these would be an excellent choice for running. There is a noticeable difference between $80 shoes vs $140 shoes, you get what you pay for this time!

The best. I purchased two pairs and find myself wearing them all the time, even though I really don't like any of the color combinations. They are that comfortable that I willfully deny my fashion bone and wear them over the cross trainers with better aesthetics (Nike, etc.). These are the first pair I do not have a need for insert. The shoe is great from box to wear and very comfortable. I wear short tab socks and they fit great. I've run and walked in these, many times. Perfect and worth the price for a sensitive Pisces foot!
