I run marathons and slightly underpronate. This shoe provides EXCELLENT stability, cushioning, and comfort for miles. My go-to running shoe is the ASICS gel nimbus.

I am on my 6th pair of Asics Gel-Nimbus sneakers. I purchased my first pair after I broke my foot and was just ready to start exercising again. When I came out of my boot cast I was still really nervous about injuring my foot again. I put on a pair new Nike's that I had purchased right before I broke my foot. I put them on and walked around and they had absolutely no support. There was no way I was wearing them to run or exercise. I went shopped around and tried on at least 30 pairs of sneakers of different styles and price ranges. When I first put this sneaker on I knew they were the right ones for me. They offer full support for your entire foot. Moving around they keep your foot securely in place and to me they feel like your foot is resting on a cloud. The reason I took the time to write this review is because I just happily received my Gel Nimbus 18's and OMG. If it is even possible they have made them even more comfortable. The photos of the sneakers don't do them justice. The style is by far the sharpest pair I have owned. Asics has done some minor modifications to the design that makes them much cooler than the earlier versions. I have only been wearing them for a week and receive compliments every time I wear them. I highly recommend these sneakers!!!

Like this shoe very much, put them on and did not take them off for 6-7 hrs so comfortable. Love the colors too, gotten many compliments on the color pattern.

First of all, I am a true blue Asics customer. I have worn the gel-cumulus, the gel- kayano, and now the gel-nimbus. These are by far, my favorite followed by the gel-kayano. At first, when I put them on, I thought "meh", but when I proceeded to my 4 mile run, they were actually heavenly. Don't let first try discourage you--give these gems a chance. They had been expensive (yet well-worth it) but I was lucky to find a deal here on Zappos.com.

I'm a big ASICS fan, and I purchased these ASICS Gel Nimbus 18s to replace my Gel Landreths, which were discontinued a while back. I LOVE these Nimbus 18s. Absolutely no complaints at all. Very cushy and responsive; perform very well straight out of the box. And the turquoise ones are gorgeous to look at as well! The only thing you need to keep in mind is the sizing--In regular shoes, I normally wear an 8 wide or an 8.5 medium. I sized up to a 9 and made sure I was getting a wide. The 9 Wides are a perfect fit. My advice is to size up a whole number size, and if your foot is even a little wide, then purchase the wides and not the mediums. I have a high instep, high arch, and my foot is significantly wide at the ball of the foot behind my toes.

This Gel-Nimbus 18 fits very well and is super comfortable. I usually wear a 12 in other shoes but for sneakers I need a 13. The other styles I ordered this time actually felt smaller than usual and this was the only one that fit me properly. I have only been able to wear Asics for the past 9 years.

Great full support running shoe. I've stayed with Asics for the past several years, easily putting 400 miles on a pair. As with any shoe, they take a handful of runs before not feeling tight around my midfoot. Overall, love them!

I am a big Asics fan! I saw the Gel-Nimbus 18 online and I really wanted them however, not for $150.00. They remained on my wish list until they went on sale. I absolutely love these shoes! For me, a perfect fit with support and cushion. I chose the torquoise color which is bright and gorgeous... I can't say enough good things about Zappos! Best customer service ever....

So comfortable, it's like walking on air! My only complaint is that the front does not come up as high as I would like on the bridge of my foot but its a fair trade off.

Great athletic shoes! Purchased for daughter that usually has a difficult time finding a comfortable instep. These were a perfect fit. Stylish, supportive, and comfortable

True to size. I love this sneaker. I haven't worked out in them as yet. But they felt comfortable when I tried them on. And they are super cute! If they are uncomfortable during my workout I'll write another review.

Feel a bit snug, but true to size. Wider at the toes which is perfect for running. Great design goes good with jeans too.

As usual the Gel-Nimbus delivers!!! So comfortable. It has the ultimate cushion. I have been buying this same shoe for years for running. I don't run much now but its great for walking as well. I always buy what they call a "neutral" shoe. So these are good for that.

These shoes are so awesome. I just began running again and it was tough going until I ran with these new shoes on. There was no breaking in period, they fit perfectly and I feel like I am running on a cloud. I used to wear Saucony, then Brooks, and now have compared both, new in the store, one on each foot to Asics, and Asics are far superior. I wear a wide and ordered these in wide and they are just dreamy. Thank you Asics and Zappos!

This shoe is AMAZING! I've tried other ASICS and other brands such as Nike and keep coming back to this one. I suffer from horrible plantar fasciitis. When I wore other shoes besides this one I could barely walk. But when I wear this shoe I feel no pain whatsoever. I've bought this shoe 3 times already because it is just that amazing! I love all the colors and get compliments all the time. If you have bad feet like I do you must try this shoe. It is like walking on a cloud. I can't say enough good things about this shoe!!
