This is the most that I have ever paid for a pair of sneakers, but when comfort is your priority, you will not find anything better! I am an under-pronator and was looking for arch support with lots of padding. These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. I am a size 8½ and the shoes feel true to size with lightweight socks. The toe box is actually a bit wide for me. I hate all the colors, though. I just wish they came in plain old black!

I love them. Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. My grandchildren love the color. They think Granna is cool. Ordered an 8 but it was too small. Did an exchange online and my 8.5 came the very next day. Free shipping. I was impressed.

Great shoes! I am a moderate runner/jogger and have been a loyal Asics wearer for years. These shoes are a noticeable upgrade from the Nimbus 14. The shoe wears great. I've had several knee surgeries from my earlier soccer days and I need the extra support these shoes provide. I highly recommend them.

Zappos is the easiest company to work with. They send you emails to update you on the progress of your order on a regular basis and the emails themselves are very enjoyable and often make you smile. I wish I could buy everything from Zappos or Zappos could train the rest of the world on customer service. They are AWESOME!

I absolutely love this shoe! I realize that it is pricey but it is well worth it. I have been wearing the Asics Gel-Kayano 19 for the past 4 years but this shoe is far superior. I also normally wear a 11.5 in Asics but had to go to a 12 in this style.

I am delighted with these shoes. I usually get the Gel Kayano, but since the Kayano 20 was not available in my size at the time decided to try the Nimbus. The support and cushioning is excellent and I have many compliments on color combination!

This is the 2nd pair of these shoes I have tried. Definitely order a size up and wide even if you are normal. I usually wear 7 and I will be ordering an 8 wide. There is a little break in period, 1-2 days.

This is my 3rd pair of the Nimbus 15's. I was a fan of the 12's and 13's but HATED the 14's. Finally, the 15 is back to what the 12'a and 13's were like. Last year I bought the Hot Punch/Marigold and the Hot Pink/Mint. NO issues with sizing. Just recently purchased the Green/Yellow and the sizing was off by a half size. I am religiously a size 10 in all athletic shoes - but needed a 10.5 in the newer Green/Yellow Combo as the 10's were too tight in the toe. So, if ordering this color, I'd suggest a half size larger. Otherwise - great shoe!

I'm fairly new to running. These are the best shoes I've tried. You do need to order up a 1/2 size. I have narrow heels and most shoes slide. The narrow, of these shoes, fits my foot great. The only thing I would like is for the toe box to be a little bigger. The first time I ran in these shoes I had the best run ever.

I have owned many pairs of gel nimbus for running (4 half marathons, training for a full right now). They are the best shoes! I ordered 9.5 in each of the pink/mint color and wine color. The pink/mint fit as expected but wine color was too small! So I returned it. Would have needed a 10. This is weird because I always wear a 9.5 in Gel nimbus and the other color was fine, but wine was not. I already owned the orange color and have ran many miles in them, so I was just looking to replace them with new colors, and have 2 pairs to rotate use.

I LOVE these shoes! I'm an RN running for 13 hr shifts at a time and these shoes saved my feet. I was coming home with TERRIBLE heel pain and tried Danskos and other tennis shoes with no relief. Chiropractor said my arches were collapsing and I needed good arch support. Got these and added some arch support inserts and had immediate improvement. Been using these for 7 months, 3 shifts a week, and wash them in the washing machine once a month. They are just now starting to wear down above the toes so I'm back for another pair. You won't regret buying these.

Nice underfoot cushioning without a mushy feel. They appear to be well made. Thee colors are great. I tried out the men's version in a store and came online to order the women's in my large size 12.5. I normally wear a 12. So happy to be wearing women's colors and the latest style. I'm a casual slow jogger with flat feet. Was told at the store that I am a neutral pronator - good to know as I thought my flat feet might mean I need a stability shoe. I've worn these for about 30 miles now and have no complaints or issues at all.

I have always been a fan of Asics for running. This was the first time I got Nimbus-15; I usually have worn Nimbus-14. Honestly I love them both and can't really tell the difference between the two.

I LOVE these shoes! I bought the Gel Nimbus 12s and 13s, which were pretty comfortable. I waited for the 14s to go on sale, and when they did, they felt AWFUL on my feet. I forked over the extra money for the 15s and am SO glad I did. They are the most comfortable shoe I've worn in a long time. Asics - please don't dink around with this one! I wore Mizunos for several years, and they ended up ruining their fit as well. I plan to buy a couple of more pairs of 15s when they go on sale, just in case Asics backtracks with the 16s.

Even though I'm not a runner but a walker who walks 5 miles a day, I needed a shoe with extra cushion. I have found the cushioning and support I needed in this shoe! I did order a half size larger and narrower to get the correct size. Previously I had been wearing Brooks Gel and did really like this shoe but it didn't fit as well as the Asics Gel-Nimbus 15. Due to Zappos excellent delivery and return policy, I was able to purchase the shoe I wanted and get the proper fit...thanks Zappos!

I love these shoes!! I have a heel spur and it has just the right amount of cushion. I always wear Asics, so if you're new to them, go 1/2 size up. I normally wear an 8 otherwise, but with this brand it's always 8 1/2.

The Asics Gel-Nimbus 15 is comfortable, light weight and true to size. My last pair of Asics was the Gel-Kayano. The Nimbus feels a little cushier and looks slightly larger on the foot. The mint and pink are true to the Zappos picture. I love these shoes and I am sure, like most Asics, they will last a long time.

Very comfortable shoe! I have plantar fascitis and problems with bunions. These shoes are very supportive and my orthotics work great in them. Love the colors too!

I always buy Saucony or Asics but usually don't spend this much but after reading the other reviews, I decided to try these shoes. They are wonderful! My only complaint is they are a little loose in the heel for my foot. I do a lot of plyometrics as part of my workouts so I need a well-padded supportive shoe. These work beautifully. And I was able to go for a long run immediately - no break in time.

Was ready to give up on finding the right gel again but read the review where they said they got it right. THANK YOU these are perfect and no pain right out of the box-gel from heel to toe. Asics do tend to run 1/2 size short on me.

My feet are med width , narrow heels. I usually buy NB. These are the best fitting sneakers I've ever bought. In terms of style, I had been looking to update my plain whites but found many others too bright or wasn't happy with the color combination. These sneakers provide the best of both worlds. I get a lot of compliments on them. Not bad for a size 10.5!
