Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

I love these shoes. I wear nothing else for running and working out. I have plantar fasciitis and the arch support and cushion in the heal is fantastic. It really helps to cushion my heal and reduces the pain I feel. I do think these shoes run a full size small. I typically wear a size 6 shoe but in most all Asics I wear a size 7. I highly recommend these shoes.

Great shoe. Fits perfectly and has great support.

I love these shoes! Very cushioned with awesome heel support. I'm on my feet a lot at work(nurse) and good heel support helps keep my back from hurting after a 12 hour shift. Asics needs to keep the colors less neon, bright and crazy. Still have a dress code at work.

Great shoe! Comfortable and just what I wanted.

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable. I love the color. So cute. But best of all, my orthotics fit in them. This is my second pair.

Very comfortable, and true to size. I have this same pair in the "lite" model and I believe I like those a little better!

I had previously bought the Gel Nimbus 18 shoe in poseidon, flash coral/black at another store. I was so very impressed with this shoe that I decided to get a second pair, the black/silver/carbon, for its more conservative look. The original shoe feels better and better the more I wear it, so I was happy to have the second pair. I don't have 'problem' feet but I did have surgery on my left foot and wear orthotics. I chose shoes 1/2 size larger to account for these. The shoes are perfect for me. I'm so happy I found them.

These are by far the most comfortable running shoes I have ever owned. The colors are great and they look good with everything!

Completely satisfied with my new asics. Look and feel great. I run 5 miles at least 3 times a week and can say these shoes have never given me any type of issues. I think they do run a tiny bit big, but once you figure out your size it's all good.

Love Asics and this shoe is very comfortable. My only complaint is when I walk long distances, the bottoms of my feet tingle. Must be from the gel. Nonetheless, these are shoes provide good support and comfort.

I have recently had a problem with plantar fasciitis. I did some research on line and found this shoe to be highly recommended. It has definitely helped. There is a lot of cushion, and my heel pain is significantly less when I wear these as opposed to the Sauconys I'd worn for years.

I've always worn Aisics. Love the cushion and the support they give. And the colors are always fun.

I typically run is Saucony's (Triumph ISO 2's) but am not thrilled with the styling. I tried these on a whim and have to say they are comparable but more up to date in looks. I like a wider toe box and a narrow heel. Fortunately, these fit the bill for that. The heel does come up higher on the back of my foot--kind of cradles my achilles. I was nervous about it bothering my tendon (have had trouble in the past) but so far, so good. It comes up high but is very cushioned. On my first run, the ball of my foot did go numb after 1 mile. But on subsequent runs, loosening the shoelaces across the ball of my foot eliminated that problem. Only time will tell for sure, but so far I'm pleased with these sneakers. Thanks zappos!

Asics always run a tad small, but these are otherwise great shoes. They last a lot more miles than many other brands, and this has really good neutral fit.

Excellent shoe, but it felt very slightly short and narrow-by perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 size.

Love these shoes, perfect fit!

Love, love, love these new sneakers. So comfortable and great looking. Get so many compliments.

Normally wear a 9 in any shoe, but ordered a 9.5W after reading several reviews. So glad I sized up a half-size as suggested and went with the wider size! Wonderfully cushioned, which I prefer on a run. Beautiful, bright colors--I got the turquoise/iris ones!

ordered normal size but had to go a half size higher

Very cushioned shoe with moderate arch. True to size. Moderate lateral support. Good for running and cross training.

I have always enjoyed running in the Gel Nimbus line. I find it to be one of the most comfortable shoes, next to the Saucony Iso2 triumph. They can get pretty pricey but they are worth every cent. Make sure to get a full size larger - I get a full size and a half larger. This is a neutral running shoe. If you want something more cushioned, I would go with the Gel Kayano; however, keep in mind that the Kayano is more bulky. This is my fifth pair of Gel Nimbus shoes so you can say that I am pretty happy with the style. The toe box of this version is more narrow compared to the Gel Nimbus 17. However, it is not something that personally bothers me.

I love these shoes! I recently purchased some Ryka shoes, and while I like them for other types of exercise they were not comfortable for walking. These Asics are so comfortable, they have great support and stability. They have a lot more cushion, my feet no longer feel like they're slapping the pavement. And the color (I purchased the turquoise) are so bright and pretty!
