Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

Great shoes. Comfortable. My girlfriend loves them. Thanks

Great shoe, I want a different color

Hello ASICS - you're my fave now! I've tried so many shoes since my old go-to shoes wore out and were no longer made properly. I have been trying different shoes for over a year now only to be disappointed. I have a couple of foot issues, and I was having trouble finding a shoe that addressed them all. Some were too hard, some too soft, some too much arch, some not enough, or some without any support of the foot or too much squishiness in the soles causing my ankles & feet to go everywhere. But - like Goldilocks, I have found this shoe is JUST RIGHT. It supports my foot without being too hard. It doesn't have a super high arch that hurts. I have a normal arch & one that is a lower arch so I had to find shoes that work for both feet. I had plantar fasciitis in one foot & stress fracture in the other. With all these issues (not to mention I have Sciatica and have to wear a properly cushioned shoe) this shoe is great. And as if I didn't have enough problems - sizing always seems to be a problem with some companies. Well ASICS is the BEST! Half sizes, extended sizes. And the icing on the cake - the colors are gorgeous. Even my husband commented on how pretty they look (since he's seen some of my past awful color choices in my size). These are true to size and true to width. I didn't need to size up as I used to do in brooks. Bravo ASICS! I will be buying another pair today.

AWESOME. The color really pops. Very comfortable.

This is probably my 5th pair of Asics, recommended by a pedorthist because of chronic plantar fasciitis. I mistakenly ordered the wrong size this time around and tried to wear them. When it became clear they weren't going to work out, I contacted Zappos about getting a discount on ordering the right size. They were very kind and allowed me to exchange the shoes - even though they had been used - for the right size because I've been a loyal customer. I love the shoe and am very grateful to Zappos for being so understanding. Great customer service.

I have very narrow heels and bunions on both feet. I ordered the narrow to accommodate my heels, but they rubbed the bunions terribly and were painful after a few minutes. I called Zappos customer service to get any suggestions of other brands and they suggested I try the mediam, It worked!! Is well padded and comfortable. I use it just for walking. By the way, customer service even called back to check up!!

The Gel-Nimbus 18 is my favorite shoe. These shoes are so comfortable, with so much cushioning in the heel. I love these so much that I have them in several different colors. They are fabulous.

I love these shoes although I was disappointed that the sizing changed drastically from the Nimbus 17's. I normally wear a size 7 (casual shoe), but go up one size in an athletic shoe (size 8). With these, I had to return the size 8's and get an 8.5 before they felt comfortable. If you order these, definitely go up a size or more.... it's a hit or miss with these. Zappos customer support is on point.. easy return/exchange! LOVE Zappos!!!!!

As always excellent service and quick shipping . Shoes fit fantastic and are the most comfortable asics I own

I am so glad I returned the first pair and got a second. The first pair were so uncomfortable. The tongue sat on the bone on the side of my inner foot, and I had a deep indentation there from wearing for just a few minutes. I was really bummed b/c they were so cushiony and comfortable. I am not a runner, but I like wearing running shoes b/c they are comfortable. I ordered a second pair in hopes that it was a fluke or a bad pair, and it was... Long story short, Great shoe and so comfortable.

Great shoe. Lots of cushion, great shoe just like their nimbus 17. The nimbus 18 seems slightly smaller, consider 1/2 size larger if you think that will be an issue. Very comfortable and the back of this shoe comes up slightly higher in the back Achilles area than previous shoes but not a problem for me. Overall another great shoe from asics.

Love these shoes! So comfortable. Bought them 2 weeks before a half marathon and they felt amazing during the race! I'm sticking with the nimbus for running.

Very comfortable shoe. Fast delivery.

I love this shoe. I've had a Nimbus before, which was fine, but this newer model is more cushioned and comfortable. Nice wide toe box, which I need. And the colors work with my gym wear.

Love these shoes so much! They make my plantar fasciitis unnoticeable while wearing them! I am glad I read the reviews and went with the wide for the larger toe box!! Highly recommended!!

I'm a nurse I work long hours,great fit and support,no break in period,however I have a difficult time finding my size 11wide,I would like to purchase more in this style,would like to purchase other colors,please notify me when more arrive.

Theses shoes are true to size and very comfortable. The colors are so vibrant, I love them.

Super comfortable. Lots of cushion without being overly squishy. Great color to boot!

This is a very comfortable shoe with all necessary gel and arch support for running or walking; a bit pricey, however, quality is there for important support for a safe exercise experience. Colors are nice but I care more about the quality of materials which are excellent in this shoe. Size and fit was just the same as the last pair purchased in a walk-in store.

I have tried New Balance, Asics Gel, Nike & Brooks brands looking for a running/training shoe that relieves my recent metatarsal/ball of foot discomfort. Doctor said I need a "neutral" shoe with optimal cushioning at ball of foot, suitable for orthotics. I have a narrow foot & prefer a wide toe box with some wiggle room for toes but a close fit in the balance of the shoe. The Asics Gel Nimbus 18 Narrow is perfect on ALL counts except one. The toe box is narrow & my usual size had to increase by 1/2 size. It is the ultimate cushioning & I've been able to ditch the metatarsal pads and orthotics for everyday & reserve those for high impact activity. A keeper. But order 1/2 size up. Wish they made black. If it doesn't work for you, try New Balance Fresh Foam 1080V6. It's not quite as cushioned, sometimes a good thing, but has a nice wide toe box -- I own 2 pairs.

These are fantastic but run VERY small. I have been running is ASICS for years but have always worn an entire size smaller. I had to return the first part and order the the next whole size up. Other than that they are great long distance running shoes.

As an OR nurse, these shoes are amazing at keeping my feet from hurting after 12-18 hour shifts! This is my 3rd pair of Asics gel Nimbus and no other shoes on the market make my feet feel this good!

Great support; amazing for walking. I wear these to work where I am standing in place on a concrete floor for 8-12 hours a day, and I noticed a huge improvement in how my feet feel during and after work. They used to hurt so badly that I left work limping and was still in pain the following day, but now there's only some discomfort. Highly recommend!

Asics is my go to sneaker. I have very narrow feet and this brand comes closest to accommodating my feet. I have tried other brands and find I always come back to Zappos. If your feet are as narrow as mine this is the show for you. Annette
