Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

Another great pair of shoes. I only wear ASICS. They are the best

This is my 2nd pair of Gel- Nimbus 18's. They are highly recommended for plantar fasciitis and I can tell why. They provide great support and cushioning. I love these shoes! Zappos shipping and customer service are better than anyone else's!

The toe box is too narrow and I don't have a particularly wide foot. The cushioning was comfortable but the narrow toe is a deal breaker. I ordered the next half size up and even it was still an issue. I traded them back in for Mizunos.

This was my first time buying Asics. I wear a 9-1/2 and for athletic shoes typically order 1/2 size bigger. I was surprised that I needed to return the shoes I ordered for a full size larger. I was more surprised that I would need to order another 1/2 size larger if I wanted to wear my Nike cushioned socks in these shoes. I have tried and they do not accommodate bulky socks. I had to buy little no-show socks for these shoes (which was fine, as I needed some anyway). Overall the show is very cushy and I love walking in them as compared to the Asics Gel-Venture I bought at the same time. I bought these for walking my dog a couple of miles every day. For that purpose they work great.

It has been a while since I have bought good shoes for walking and running. I am running a 5K in July, so thought it was time. I have Achilles Tendinitis and am very particular about the shoe I wear. These were very comfortable and help with the pain I was feeling previous when walking and running. Highly recommend.

These are great sneakers. I have terrible feet and exercise almost every day. The cushioning and wide toe box are the reasons I always buy this model

LOve this sneaker!!!!!! Great cushion bottom Runs small like a whole size!

Best running shoes out of all the brands I've tried. Great support, and can also be used for cross training. They have decent lateral stability as well.The color is fun, and actually looks great with a wide variety of outfits.

Have ran in Asics before but recently decided to try some other brands. Came back to my trusty Asics and won't leave again. My shoe size is 10, but I ordered a 10.5 since these are running shoes and they were a perfect fit. Yes, these are definitely a little on the clunky side, but the cushioning is worth the weight.

Have worn Gel Nimbus for many years. Amazing cushion. I don't always wear a narrow but have noticed some slippage in the heel in the medium so tried the narrow. This one allows me to wear a thinner sock and still have excellent fit. Long lasting quality shoe.

Love this shoe, I wish they were still making this one, helps my feet a lot.

This is my 4th pair of Asics gel nimbus. I need a wide width so it can be challenging to find. For the first 1/2 dozen runs, it feels tight across my toe box (even with the wide width) but it eventually stretches and becomes very comfortable. I have a narrower heel and these are great for that. My foot doesn't slip. The offer ample cushioning for a heavier runner. They are expensive but I feel worth it for the fit and cushioning I need. It is a reliable shoe and I would recommend for runners with a heavy but neutral stride.

If I loved these any more I'd make out with them. I'm on my feet all day and these are great. I love them so much I bought two pairs (actually I bought 3 and gave one to my mom), so I could have one for work and one for actual running. Great in both contexts! The back is a little heigher than other shoes I've owned, but with ankle socks or those socks with the little tabby guys on the back, no problem.

I ordered these as they were rated as being excellent for foot pain. I always wear a 6 1/2 D. These were MUCH too narrow. I thought I might just try a larger size, but doubt that would have helped, so they are going back. Disappointing. Back to New Balance which offers a Wide width that is really a wide.

These were tight on my wide feet. I usually wear a D, but these in D seemed tighter than I like.

This is my first pair of the Gel-Cumulus and they feel wider than the Gel-Nimbus that I am use to wearing. I also had to order an 11.5 Narrow whereas before I have been fine with the 11 Narrow. They are comfy but I wish all the colors came in narrow sizes. But thanks for making the half sizes for those of us that have long skinny feet!

This is one of the best tennis shoes I've ever worn. These are SO comfortable and cushy! They are perfect for all the walking I do at work on hard concrete/tile. I will be buying more when I need to replace these.

I really like these sneakers. I have a Morton's neuroma on my left foot so cushioning in the ball of foot is necessary. I also have big feet complex so I gravitate towards shoes that don't make my feet look like boats at the bottom of my legs. I also ordered a wide size. Unfortunately, I ordered a size 9 which is my regular size but when I put these on, they were just too tight. I'm not going to bother ordering a half size larger. I'm ordering a 10 -- a full one size larger -- and hoping they won't be too big. I'll update my review.

These shoes are incredible! My feet are awful and my podiatrist recommended I wear these shoes all day, everyday. I have wide feet, and these are very comfortable with a D width. They also weigh next to nothing...feels like I'm walking on clouds. Will order another pair so I have a pair for every day, and one for gym. Maybe even a pair for work. Definitely recommend.

Finally! an attractive athletic shoe that fits my super wide feet. Have been wearing men's shoes to get the width and they never fit correctly. My other women's shoes are size 9, which was extremely short in the ASICS. Exchanged for an 11 and they are about right.

Recently purchased my 1st pair of Nimbus 18 and I love the comfort. I had to buy a 1/2 size larger because the toe are is narrow. They are very comfortable shoe, I love them.

Runs extremely small!

This shoe was a hassle to figure out my size. Sizing is a bit off from previous model. But when I felt the cushion I had to figure out what worked. Zappos helped with their awesome return policy. I have major foot pain. Knee pain and hip pain that has knocked me down for a while. I've been in my nimbus 18's all day and have been pain free for the First time since I can remember. Thank you Zappos for helping me get my fit right. Snag up the 18's while you can because in my opinion the 19's have no cushion at all. Those hurt my heels immediately. I'm already worried about not being able to repurchase my 18's when they wear out :(

Like walking & running on clouds, I love these shoes. I also need shoes to look good, and these fit the bill.
