Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

I liked these but they were too short and my toes hit the front. I have 5 pair of ASICS-Gel shoes and only these seem too short. Nice cushioning, however. I wish they had fit but the 11 is the largest and my feet are too narrow for men's shoes.

What's wrong with Asics? There shoes are getting shorter and shorter. They feel ok, but they are way too short and I ordered a 1/2 size up. I've given up on Asics.

I have worn Asics for many years... these shoes seem very narrow in the toe region and I don't recall my other asics having this problem. I recently started wearing Brooks Ghost shoes the past two years and they seem to have more room in the toe region. I will try giving asics another try in a wider width or just covert over to Brooks

Afraid this shoes smaller toe box is gonna be a problem for me. 7 1/2 usually fits in running shoes, Widhth not good enough in toes so I went for a size 8 which I found is way too large for me.

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.

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!

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 wore these new shows around my home. I have worn the Asics Nimbus for several years and this did not fit the same. The left shoe was definitely smaller than the right one.

I ordered this first in an 11. It was almost perfect; one of the few shoes that will stay on my heel without slipping - but I thought it was too short. (I have been the same size for many years.) The problem with this shoe is the distance between the floor and top of the shoe is too narrow. Or my big toe has gotten too fat. Sadly, I have to send it back.

The shoe felt true to size everywhere except in the toe area. It is narrow and short tipped and bunch the toes up.

Prefer the Cumulus, but since they started making them more narrow I decided to try the Nimbus. Still more narrow than stated and the cushion support was not there once I walked for a long period of time. Please make a shoe true to what you state or just state that they are narrow.

I'm a loyal Aspics wearer, but this is my 1st pair of Nimbus. The shoe is comfortable, but the toe book seems a little on the small side. After a full day's wear my toes are always a little sore. I thought they just needed to be broken in, but after 2+ months I still have trouble wearing for a full day. Expected better for the price I paid.

Very disappointed. I've worn Asics for many years but this shoe has so much padding at the back of the heel that it pushes my foot forward ahead of the heel cup, which puts the arch support in the wrong place and my toes against the front of the shoe. The extra (or too high?) padding made my achilles ache. Will have to return.

I really wanted these to work out. I am an 8.5 in street shoes with a slightly narrow medium width foot. I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 in running shoes but in this shoe the 9 was slightly short and the 9.5 was too big and felt sloppy.

Felt too tight in the toe box. My toes were feeling numb. I don't have a wide foot, usually order regular in a size 8; tried a size 8.5 and still felt tight in the toe box.

I wanted to keep these SO VERY MUCH, but they are too short/ tight in the toe box. So cushy and comfortable. I will try the next size up, but suspect they will be too long and cause my heel to slip. I'm marking it 3 stars because the size is incorrect.

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.

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.

I was a firm supporter of Asics - but these shoes actually made parts of my feet go numb - absolutely no arch support - working 12 hr shifts / must have a good supportive shoe - these are definitely not it - VERY disappointed

for years I've run in Asics but this year I tried both the Kayano and the Nimbus with no luck. The Nimbus 18 feels super cushiony at first but there is little to no support, especially in the heel (which seems to squish down too far). The sizing is also a little short. Maybe on other feet they would work great but unfortunately they didn't work for me.

Sadly I must return these good looking shoe. I ordered a 91/2 wide and it is just to tight on my bunion. The toe box also seemed a little skimpy in the height as I could see the tops of my toes on the top of the shoe. I know if I kept them I would have issues in. few weeks and for the price I was not going to take that chance. So the search continues. Thank goodness for Zappos wonderful shipping and return policy.

Very disappointed in these shoes. I have worn Asics in the past, particularly the Nimbus. I purchased two different pair of Asics four months ago and alternate between the two pair. I run about 7 miles once a week and walk in these shoes about 15 miles a week. The rubber on the soles is so soft, it is already worn down. Would not purchase again. Not until they change the soles.

Wore in the house for a few hours and felt good. I have a hammertoe and thought all was good so decided to wear out. Shoes have a lot of front/tongue padding as well as heel padding. Irritated the hammertoe as well as my heel on other foot. Padding in back of shoe (heel) is quite generous & held tight for me. I have a shoe stretcher on the way & hope it helps. Sorry I wore them outside as I can no longer wear them as is!

Wow! Fantastic looking shoe, but what a disappointment when I tried it on. Although I ordered a wide size, it was way too narrow. Must return.

I always wear a 8.5 W shoe and sometimes even what they call Wide is not W enough for my feet. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than my normal 8.5W shoes. So the shoes I'm returning are 9W. I'm returning them because I will need to go up a full size due to the white "waves" at the toes. My big toes were rubbing especially the right shoe. I also hope they have these in an extra wide because they seem narrow even though I ordered the Wide. I will now order these in a 9.5W or WW if they have the extra wide. I do believe they are going to be very comfortable when I get the right size. I have plantar fasciitis (pain in the bottom of the heel) and these seemed to be made right for that problem. The shoe seems to wrap cozily around my feet if I just can get the sizing right! I will try to update this info after I get the 9.5W or WW. As for the look of the shoes, I am in my 60's & so is my husband and he complimented me on the turquoise colored shoes. I was afraid they were going to be a little loud, but I like blue and they turned out to be very pretty. Hope this helps.
