Awesome!!
I have a 12 N foot ; Brooks and New Balance run too short and too wide.
These are much cuter in person

I received an earlier shipment of Asics Gel-Nimbus 18 in narrow width and the fit was great. However, when I reordered the same size about 8 months later, the fit has changed. The footbed doesn't have as much padding, the length was shorter, arch support is almost non-existent & the toe box seems narrower. The Gel-Nimbus has been a great shoe for my narrow foot over the years but unfortunately the changes in this model won't allow me to keep it.

I feel like I am walking on air! I usually wear Brooks (which I like too) but wanted to try something different. I wear a size 10 (these shoes run true to my size) so, these are a perfect fit! I wear them for walking and durning my training sessions. They help maintain stability and comfort. I am 65 and have worn many different shoes over the years! These are definitely ranked in my top 5.

I own the Gel Nimbus 17 in the regular width and love them. I ended up with "D" width in the 18. It fits fine but the regular width was too narrow. The color is a bit bright but I care more about the comfort. Zappos is great!

They were comfortable from the very first run (and actually a lot more comfortable than my 16s, which I could never run in for more than 3 miles without knee pain). Nice cushioning, and I like the darker color.

These are my 2nd pair of Nimbus 18. The sneakers are comfortable, great cushion and support. I love the fit. I switched to these sneakers after the Cumulus 17 switched their style. The heal was not snug which I didn't like.
So far, the Nimbus 18's have given me all the support I need. I am sticking with these because I am worried the new 19's will have a switch in style. I am actually going to buy a 2nd pair of Nimbus 18's to have as backup.

My fav yet! For some reason the nimbus 17 felt a bit sloppy but the nimbus 18 is great! Lightweight and supportive.

I love this shoe and am considering buying a second pair soon. The support is firm but yet I can feel the gel cushion while running and walking. Fantastic athletic shoe!!!

Love the shoes...I'm a big fan of Asics. This shoe seems a little less bulky looking and I really like that. I'm a walker...4 miles daily and for comfort you can't beat the Gel Nimbus.
I normally go for the brighter colors; but, this navy, aqua, lavender combo is a good look. As always, the Zappos service is spot on!

I read all reviews on this shoe, so ordered a wider width and a half size larger than usual-the width was fine, but the shoe was still too short! What's odd is that they don't look small. By the time I got a decent fitting size, it would look like I was wearing clown shoes. Too bad, because they were very well cushioned. I wish Asics would stop changing the sizing with each new generation of style.

These shoes are horrible! I ordered them a size larger than normal because of it being a new to me brand. They were way too small and ungodly uncomfortable. I have never been more disappointed by a pair of shoes. I will never buy this brand again!

I have a narrow foot and most athletic shoes, although narrow in the heel, are too wide in the foot bed. These are narrow throughout the show and extremely comfortable.

I ordered the same size I always do, and they feel a bit smaller. Love these shoes for their narrow sizing. This feels true to size. The back is very Coushy, but too high; it's giving me blisters!

I use these shoes daily for running and crossfit, and they have been heaven since the minute I put them on. Plenty of cushion and ample room in the toe box. These seem to fit more for wide feet. Go up a half size on the length for sure. So far my favorite pair of Asics .

I think these shoes are great. They are really comfortable. I like the padding around the heel to keep from slipping. Feels like walking on a cloud.

I recently started running again and developed plantar fasciitis. I quickly purchased these shoes at my podiatrist's and trainer's recommendations and they have been wonderful so far. I also like the pink/guava color compared to many of the other Asics color combinations -- great support compared to my Nikes and Adidas. After trying these shoes out, I'll definitely stick to wearing these for running!

These shoes felt great. I do a lot of walking and the bottoms of my feet would always feel sore with my old nikes so I got these instead. Unfortunately they started falling apart rather quickly inside and out. After 2 months the bottom of the sole looked like it was melted off and the inside had gigantic holes near the back and side of my ankles. Despite this, I liked them so much I returned them and bought another pair thinking it was just a one off. Not the case. Same thing happened so once again I returned them and will be purchasing a different brand that's overall more durable.

I have been running in Gel Nimbus since number 12. I actually had the 18 in the turquoise/iris/methyl and surprisingly those actually felt more comfortable than this color. However, this shoe is still comfortable, has lots of cushion, and strong durability. The colors on these are fun and overall, these are a good running shoe.
