Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

Got these for my wife to train for a Disney run. She says they are the best she's had.

This is probably the most comfortable shoe I've ever tried on. The width was a little snug so i am returning and ordering a larger size.

Wearing this shoe is like walking on a cloud, your feet say ahhh. I had to return them because the medium were a little narrow for one of my feet. I could have gone to a wide, but didn't want to risk another return, so I bought my standard Cumulus.

This athletic shoe is the best fit I have found for my narrow foot and heel. I work out on eleptical machine, tread mill, and do aeoribic exercies during which my feet feel snug and well supported in these shoes.

Good substitute for Kayano model that has changed the toe box. Toebox and arch support are perfect (not too roomy like Brooks for my foot). Ankle support is excellent (not too shallow like Saucony for me). Got 1/2 size bigger than my usual dress shoe size for running. Outstanding service, Zappos!

This shoe runs short had to go up 1/2 size. cushion does not seem to be that good had to add orthotics for better support. Style is ok what I wanted was sold out.

Asics lovers will not be disappointed. My daughter is a college student and lives in these shoes. She has worn Asics for years and she is very happy with her new pair! She is a 71/2 m and these fit perfectly!

First, I cannot believe how fast I received these shoes! Second, they are like clouds. Holy cow. I now see what all the other reviewers were talking about. I bought these to replace an older pair and they are simply fantastic. I cannot wait to wear them on my run tomorrow. I put them on to check for size/comfort when I received about 2 hours ago and haven't been able to bring myself to take them off. They look ridiculous with what I am wearing but they are so beyond comfortable that I don't care. :) I'm just hanging out at the house anyway. Excellent shoe in terms of comfort and style. I can only imagine how good they will feel on my run. I am a size 8 but I always go up a bit in running shoes to protect my toes. These are an 8.5 and are perfect.

Love this shoe. Very soft yet supportive. Ordered a narrow instead of medium and it feels a little short but able to wear comfortably.

I always wear Asics for walking and running. I love the Nimbus. Its great if you need a neutral shoe as far as the fit goes. Wearing these is like walking on a cloud. So much cushion. I wear an 81/2 in other types of shoes but I buy a size 9 in these.

Thank goodness for Zappos and its extensive offering of extended sizes. The Gel Nimbus 18 is the only shoe that works for me. I do a lot of running (not fast) and walking. They aren't too narrow up around my toes like another Asics style. This is my 5th pair. I put on a lot of miles on these babies. Cushy. Durable. As far as tennis shoes go, cute color combinations.

I decided to try the Nimbus model after years of wearing Brooks Adrenaline running shoes. As much as I wanted to keep them because I loved the colors and the look,I returned them--I have a high arch and found the Brooks had more support. I also did not like how "soft" the soles felt compared to brooks.

A family member swears by Gel Nimbus so thought I would treat myself to a pair of Nimbus 18. My feet are in heaven with the super-cushioned support. I ordered a D width since I typically look for athletic shoe brands with a wider toe box. I wear size 8.5 or 9 in regular shoes, but always buy 9.5 in athletic shoes and found the 9.5 D-width fit perfectly. This model is designed for supinators (under pronators) like myself and provide the ultimate amount of foot protection. Expect to pay full price for this model, as they are superior and as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for." I'm not a runner anymore, but my shoes are literally my transportation in the high walk-score neighborhood where I live and work. Money should not be spared when it comes to protecting our feet, especially for those of us who are runners or who walk A LOT!

I have worn the Aspics Gel Nimbus for years. When one pair wears out, I get the next model. I have tried other brands of running shoes, as well as other models of the Aspics brand, but haven't found any that I like as well as these. They come in so many colors that I can always find a pair that I like.

I'm overweight and found these too smooshy -- my foot sank down more than I wanted it to each time I took a step. (But if you're a skinny little thing, these could be great for you!) I found the Asics Cumulus to provide a better degree of cushioning for my frame. I'm disappointed they didn't work out for me, since they look pretty good as women's sneakers go -- no pink!

I have narrow, size 10 feet with Plantar Fasciitis. Now that's a hard shoe to find! It's hands down this shoe! The most comfort I have experienced in a very long time.

If you are hard to fit---size 12--narrow--Try to find someplace help to give you a true fit and width.. Believe me, I've looked. Because my granddaughter-15--6ft. tall gets her shows here that's why I tried.. Won't bother going any place else. .

Bright color is fun. Very comfortable.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes. I bought them for work, I will never buy another kind again. A little pricey but believe me well worth it

I needed a wide shoe with a good base due to bunions and ankle issues. I wear a 9 wide in an athletic shoe and these fit perfectly. This shoe hit the mark dead on. I returned three other pairs which were different styles and brands, trying to save some money, and as always, came back to Asics. This particular style was the most expensive, but is the best for me. It has a wide front base and no stitching that runs across the sides where my bunions are. No stitching there is a real plus for people with bunions. I wore a whole through my last pair right where my bunion is on my right foot. Also, the other styles and brands I ordered in a wide were too wide all over and my heel slipped out. This shoe is wide in the front and holds my heel in the back nicely. It gives a lot of support and I absolutely would order them agiain. I just wish they weren't so expensive at $150.

THESE SHOES ARE LIKE WALKING ON CLOUDS, AWESOME, FIT ALL THE WAY AROUND.

I ordered both this Gel-Nimbus 18 and the Gel-Kayano 22 at the same time. When they arrived, I had on an older pair of ASICS in my normal size, which I have always worn, but both these shoes were definitely shorter, with the Gel-Nimbus 18 being the shorter of the two. I called Zappos customer service for advice, as I always wear the same size so was not sure if I should go 1/2 size up, or a full size up. I ended up with the Gel-Kayano 22 a 1/2 size up, and this Gel-Nimbus 18 a full size up and now both fit PERFECTLY!

I find this particular brand and style fit my orthodics the best. I have been wearing the gel-nimbus for several years.
