This was my first pair of Asics and I couldn't be happier. The cushioning is excellent and my feet do not hurt when I wear them.

I have worn Asics for many years... these shoes seem very narrow in the toe region and I don't recall my other asics having this problem. I recently started wearing Brooks Ghost shoes the past two years and they seem to have more room in the toe region. I will try giving asics another try in a wider width or just covert over to Brooks

These shoes are very cute and Asics is not joking when they say these shoes are for underpronators. I bought them for looks even though I'm an overpronator, thinking the pronation thing is a bunch of hooey to sell more shoes but now I'm a believer. I feel a little silly writing this but am doing so anyway in case there's another silly-head out there like me. I'm rating them 5 stars because I could TELL that they were forcing my feet to land in ways I did not like -- I'm sure they'd be perfect for an underpronator.

A great shoe but the Nimbus 18 runs smaller than the 17. Need 1 whole size larger.

Bought these shoes for rehabilitation and support after my foot surgery. I was not disappointed! They are extremely comfortable. This shoe gives me excellent support and I have no pain at all when wearing these. The tongue is padded and is comfortable on my scar. The dr rebuilt my arch and I find that these shoes give me excellent support. I could not be happier.

Afraid this shoes smaller toe box is gonna be a problem for me. 7 1/2 usually fits in running shoes, Widhth not good enough in toes so I went for a size 8 which I found is way too large for me.

I love these shoes. They're the only ones that feel comfortable and don't crowd my toes. I replace the insert with a comfort one to make them fit even better.

I have been running in Asics Nimbus shoes for about 4 years and they never disappoint! I was excited to finally get a black pair, mainly for when they are transitioned into everyday shoes after I run in them!

These are my go-to running shoes. The comfort is unbeatable; I can easily go the extra mile (or two) in these shoes compared to my cheaper pair of running shoes. Moreover, with this particular model, ASICS has styles that aren't too flashy, and the usually popular flashy styles. The high price might scare some people off, but to me, this is an investment for your feet and your health. Since I wear these shoes almost every day, the invest for near-daily comfort and prevention of running injuries (also attributing to my improving mile times) is easily worth it. Most recommend replacing running shoes after 6 months or so, but I have gone more than a year without troubles or signs of deterioration. Furthermore, many great running shoes fail to accommodate runners with wide feet, so I appreciate the hard-to-find Size 13.5 4E Nimbus 18s. Overall, this is the king of running shoes (at least for my wide feet)

I have three pairs of these. They are amazing. They have a lot of soft cushion and feel really good on my foot. They do not feel cheap.

I ordered these for hit training. I have very high arches and suffer from plantar fascitis. I like that you can remove the insoles and put your own orthotics in. The sneakers are very supportive and have lot of cushion. Also like the laces stay put when ties. My only complaint is that the toe box is kind of narrow Otherwise a very good sneaker. Only wish toebox was roomier

The shoe is nice and comfortable. I orders a size 6 in a wide width. I find that the width does not make that much of a difference, but does help a little bit. I love the cushion that the sneaker has and it makes my feet feel great when working, going to school, or just going for a walk. All around the sneaker is nice, the blue is kind of bright, but not a bad color.

Absolutely LOVE these shoes for running. Very cushiony and always comfortable. I have had issues with varicose veins and these shoes paired with my compression socks ease the discomfort. Will continue to purchase as long as they make them!!

I've been wearing Gel Nimbus for years. Can always rely on size 8 (med width) fitting perfectly. Unfortunately that's not the case with Nimbus 18. They're were much smaller than they normally are. My toes were jammed up front! Had to exchange for 8 1/2 which is more true to normal fit. Other than this, these shoes continue to meet expects.
