Runs short. I normally wear 11.5 in this brand. The quality of this style has not been the same since the Nimbus 16. The toe box is too wide for a narrow foot.

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....

This is my first purchase of Asics Nimbus shoes. I find them to be well cushioned & comfortable. They definitely run narrow, and more available options in my size would be nice. Overall a comfortable, lightweight shoe.

I love asic shoes but why did you have to change the toe box. I can't wear them. What do I do now?

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.

I love the ASICS Kayano 21s, but the current color selection for the Kayano's is hideous. So, I tried these as an alternative (after also trying a couple pair of Brooks, which I have also liked in the past). This shoe has the great stability I have come to rely on ASICS for, but it is no where near as cushioned as the Kayano It also does not seem to have as much arch support, though that may change after I wear them in for a while. Overall, it's a great looking shoe with good stability. I will update the review after wearing 3 months. NOTE: Order AT LEAST a half size larger than you normally would in ASICS. They seem to have changed their sizing. I always wore a 6 in this brand, and I had to go up to a size 7 because the toe box was so tight.
I'd also recommend:
ASICS Kayano 23, Brooks Ravenna

Much less cushion than previous models. The gel cushion is pretty much gone under the pad of the foot. Of course there is still no room for your toes, which has been a problem for a few years. The only reason I bought these over the Brooks is that the drop is 2mm more, which I prefer. I don't see myself wearing these for long. I will repurchase the Brooks and find a different insert to raise my heal.

I do a lot of high intensity athletic training and the balls of my feet kill me so I need a shoe with lots of padding. This one delivers! I wish they had more wide width styles available in the Nimbus, but I just order a size and a half up for a good fit with the medium width.

Misleading.... Yes they are bouncy. Yes they look awesome. However.. I ordered 11 Wide. If these are Wide I can't imagine how tight the medium size is! This is in no way a wide shoe! If I did not love my Nimbus 15 I would not consider breaking these in.

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

I don't know what is going on with the sizing, but if this continues I will not be buying ASICS. They have been my favorite shoe for many years.

Most comfortable shoes I've found but my orthotics don't fit in them, too high in the heel. Wearing without orthotics, but my feet are starting to hurt a bit.

I have a really old pair of Gel Nimbus I got in Foot Locker many years ago. Most cushioned comfy, arch support sneaker I'd had in a long time. Since then, I have ordered Asics, such as this one above. Definitely smaller toe box, narrower, smaller than former size. Not nearly as comfy as the original Gel Nimbus. ASICS: Read the reviews and go back to the roomier original shoe. Your new structure is cheaper and not as hospitable. Don't like them.

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!!
