Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

I have flat feet & bunions on each foot. Yeah!! These are great shoes! Provide the support & cushioning I need for intense hour long workouts. Feet did not feel tired. I wear an 8w. Felt true to size.

The Nimbus has been the most comfortable pair of asics I've tried as far as cushioning. Unfortunately I can't find a with that fits. I ordered a half size up, as usual, and wide, but the toe box had no room. I ordered another pair, a full size bigger in the standard size and that felt roomy, but it shoe slipped out. Sadly this shoe didn't work for me.

Let me start out by saying I NEVER write reviews (I always read them but never write them)... however, these shoes deserve one! I have been running in Nikes for the past few years. I decided I needed a change - I didn't feel like the Nikes were giving me the support I need for 4 mile+ runs. After looking at different reviews on running shoes, I settled for these Asics. THEY ARE LIKE RUNNING ON CLOUDS!!!! I can run longer distances just because of the comfort and support itself. I will never go back to a pair of Nikes again. I wear a 7 in most shoes, but ordered a 7.5 in these and they fit perfectly.

Comfortable and supportive.

Loved how these shoes looked but they just weren't as comfortable for me as compared to some other asics I've tried. Could just be my feet!

The last few pairs of Asics I have received have greatly lacked in quality. After about 6 weeks, they are already starting to get a hole in the toe! I just had to buy another pair and they feel cheap as well. I have had many pairs of Asics and these are not up to par with any of the others. My daughter even asked me if I bought a super cheap pair because they don't even compare to the pairs I have bought in the past. They also feel cheap. I think I am sadly going to have to steer clear of Asics from now on.

These are super cushiony in the sole. Their sizing is so different this year, however. Had to go up from 7.5 to 8, which feels long, but the 7.5 is too short. There is a big difference between the two sizes. Am returning these as they are too short.

I've been wearing every version of the Nimbus since the 14, I always size up a 1/2 a size in running shoes and these still felt a bit too short, and the toe box is definitely more narrow that ever before. I have high arches and they don't feel quite as supportive as they have in the past. I'm going to keep them and see how they feel once they're broken in, I really do love the Cockatoo pattern, it's adorable, I get so many compliments!!

Super comfortable running shoe with lots of cushioning. I have high arches and wide, sensitive feet. Love the fit, style, and titanium/white/turquoise color!

i'm an asics running girl. i usually wear a 7. but these i need 7.5. i'm a neutral runner so these work very well.

I have narrow feet, so finding shoes in general and trainers specifically is always a trial. ASICS has been a reliable source for shoes that fit me and are comfortable for exercise. These Gel-Nimbus 18's (in 2A width) have been great so far and I appreciate ASICs making shoes for people like me.

Based on reviews I ordered half size larger and shoe was too large for me

More expensive than I like to pay for a tennis shoe, but one of the most comfortable I have ever worn. I wear .5-1 size bigger in tennis shoes than other shoes and this was the case here. Normally wear a 6 in most shoes and took a 7 in this. I liked the titanium grey/turquoise color.

Super springy. Sizing is difficult. 6 was too short in the toe and 6.5 was too wide in the foot pad but about the same in length. Cute tho!

Beautiful color, more vibrant in person! Super comfy, I'm 9.5 months pregnant.

I'm a busy nurse and on my feet all day. These have such great support my knees and back feel great at the end of my shift. My coworkers love them as well!

I have plantar fasciitis and supinate my feet. These shoes are wonderful! I was able to put my inserts in them and wear them right out the door. Very good heel support and really help the supination. I would definitely buy again

Reliable as always! I normally wear 8-8.5, but always wear 9 in these.

I love the look of these shoes and want to love them entirely! However, it seems Asics has changed the fit of the Gel Nimbus 18. I have worn Asics Gel-Nimbus shoes for years. I buy 2 pairs a year for working out. I have to say I am truly disappointed with the updated Gel Nimbus 18. The toe area is way narrower than previous models. I made the mistake of assuming the shoes would fit out the box as my other pairs have in the past. I use an Abeo cushion insert inside of the shoes as I have plantar fascitis. I threw away the original footbed that came with the shoes without testing the shoes first. I discovered the new fit during my first work out. I have only wore these a handful of times but they make my toes go numb. Unfortunately I can't return them due to my mistake of throwing out the original Asics footbed. Lesson learned to make sure shoes are comfortable before discarding anyting. Expensive lesson and very disappointed. Looking for another brand now.

Nice looking but too tight, now true wide as ordered.

I already own this shoe and was happy to get a new pair. Was upset by the fact that I ordered this one and the blue version and got a 7.5 size shoe instead of my size 8.. Really really upset.. But these pair were fine. I just can't give the original 5* because my order was wrong.

I was VERY upset when I received the two shoes I ordered. I ordered this color and the grey one because I own the grey already and they are perfect for me. But I was super excited to get this blue one! Only they sent me a size 8 box and a 7.5 shoe... Really really not happy. The only reason I don't ask for a full refund is because they fit my mother so I gave them to her. But I am so angry to have spent the $200 with this store to get one pair of shoes out of it. I'm not shopping here again.

After wearing these around the house for a solid 90 minutes, I'm posting an updated review. I ordered these in 9D because I have a somewhat wide toe area and narrow ankles and reviewers said the shoes run small. I wanted to love these because I'm sick of how much slippage I get with NB wides. Note: my feet measure a smidge bigger than a size 8. Unfortunately, ASICS no longer seems to understand the concept of wide sneakers and these are narrower than regular sneakers from other companies I've worn. Plus, these sneakers also are a full size smaller than they should be. It's inconceivable that a size 9 does not fit a foot that measures approx. size 8. The sneakers have a good cushy feel for those with narrow feet. But that's about where it ends. I tried to get used to how snug they were, but even with the laces at their loosest, they were too narrow. I am returning these and very disappointed.

Ordered my usual B width, but these shoes felt too snug, almost tight. I exchanged them for a D width. They fit like what I'm used to (in my usual B width shoes), however the toe box still feels cramped, definitely not enough to go up 1/2 size, but I'm not loving them like I'd hoped. On the plus side, they look good & are very supportive & bouncy.
