Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

I have worn previous versions of this shoe and have never had any problems with fit. I was disappointed that the 18 fit smaller than my other pairs. Will order a half size larger next time.

These ASICS ran very small and snug I was not able to get a sock on with them. I have been a true size 10 for many years now and the ASICS I have been wearing fit fine. Very surprised that the same model and same size do not fit at all.

These are the shoes I buy over and over again ~ every 6 months. I do a lot of walking and want to be sure that I have enough cushion. The old pair become my garden shoes. The color was not my favorite, as I wanted one that was the GEL-Nimbus 19, but the newest model costs about $60 more, so last year's model works fine for me. Next time the 19 will be less expensive and I will buy them. I wear orthotics and they fit perfectly in these shoes. Also, thanks Zappos for ALWAYS getting these to me THE NEXT DAY!

This is an EXCELLENT shoe for comfort and support. I had to order a half size up for a true fit. I payed the price of not heeding others advice and had to return the first pair - don't make the same mistake l did - order a half size larger. I have flat, wide feet & always balked at higher priced shoes...no more! You get what you pay for. These shoes changed my life. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I have narrow feet. The owner of a local shoe store specializes in recommendations and special ordering athletic shoes for the local high school kids or teams. He does the same for the community college athletic teams. So I went to him to to get the best recommendation for my narrow feet. After asking what I would be using them for he specially ordered in an asics nimbus in 2A width. I have worn this shoe ever since. I order a new pair every year for the last 8 yrs. I love them.

These are so comfortable. I faithfully wore the my Nimbus 16s until they had holes in them. I ordered these as a replacement and couldn't be happier. I wear them solely for working out (walking, aerobics, treadmill etc) and they are great. I also love that the color is not in your face obnoxious

I'm an ASICS ONLY girl for years and years because they fit so well in my heel and I need wide offerings. But I agree with some of the other reviews, they run small compared to other Asics running shoes I've owned. I'm exchanging my usual 10.5 wide for an 11 wide. These 10s are much smaller in length and a little bit smaller in width than the usual Gel Fortitude or GT 3000s. (I had to try a new model, as my heel strike has become more supinated over the years) The toe box is also considerably shallower than previous ASICs models I've owned. Hope the bigger size fits better. I'm not giving up!!

Great shoe. My Feet stop hurting great support. Toe box a little narrow.

Very tight shoe box. Normally wear 9 1/2 2A and ordered a 10 2A based on reviews. Still very tight. So tight, I feel relieved to take off. Unfortunately my medium width Asics feel a bit wide so I will be going to other brand names for narrow.

Love these fun and hip Asics. I am usually a size 8.5 - 9 but Asics do run small and I ended up with a 9.5! They fit perfectly. The gel cushioning is terrific and lasts. I run 4 times a week and I've had my first pair for 7months now and they still have great cushioning. I love them so much I ordered another pair in the sale.

I like these. I have been wearing Kayano's but their toe box is creating issues for me wanting to buy them anymore. I ordered these one size up like others stated and they are very comfortable. I'll be interested in seeing what the cushion feels like after wearing them a couple months. I wear them for high intensity classes and normal gym cardio machines.

These shoes are wonderful. Very comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and these alleviates most of my pain. I typically only wear asics and these are even better than some of the others I have bought. Comfy toe box too.

I am so bummed. I have worn gel Cumulus before, and it seems like they have changed the shoe mold; these are much more narrow and feel smaller than the previous models I have worn; and I have come across this with 2-3 other asic models I have ordered.

This shoe is fantastic. Very comfortable.

If you need a shoe for a neutral step, this is it. I've been a runner for years, and this was my go to shoe. Now my seventh grade daughter is getting into running, so she tried them out. She tried on other shoes by Brooks, Nike, and a different style Asics. When she slipped on this shoe, she couldn't believe how well they fit. She is loving them. In my opinion, this is the perfect blend of support and cushion for the neutral stride.

As I get older, I find I need more support in my walking shoes, so I splurged and spent $120 on these Asics. The support is good, but I would prefer more muted color choices. I usually wear an 11D but it was not available in this shoe, so I purchased 10.5D. It fits well although I can feel my big toe at the very end of the shoe. It does not bother me, so I would say this shoe is true to size. Zappos is the best, btw. I have a military post office box, and not only do they ship to me for free, it still gets here very fast and returns are free, too. I love this company!

I get compliments on these all the time. They fit true to the size. Once again thanks Zappos for great customer service!! I love the next day shipping!

The gel nimbus provides a great combination of support and cushioning.

I love this sneaker but it dose not love me back. It has great cushioning but it makes my toes numb and throb

As always the Nimbus is very comfortable. Great for running and walking- has removable insert so I can wear my orthotics. I buy a new pair every year! Recommended to me by my orthopedic surgeon.

I absolutely love the asic nimbus 18. They fit my feet like a glove and I feel like I'm walking on marsh mellows ! I'm a nurse and I will never buy anything else . In love ??

Asics is driving me crazy with their inconsistent sizing. I normally wear 7.5 but I did up to size 8--it is still a bit too snug. However, except for their sizing, this is a great shoe--great support, amazing cushioning. I run approx. 25 miles a week & this shoe never gives me sore feet--other running shoes have. Great colors & fairly lightweight. If Asics Nimbus could get their sizing down, I would give it a 5 star.

Asics does it again! I've run in Asics for over 10 years, and have never had a bad experience. I've always been a size 8, and was a little nervous reading some of the reviews saying to go up half-a-size, but I spoke to some fellow runners who said to go with my usual size, so I did, and they fit perfectly! As always, they were super comfortable to wear right out of the box, no break-in period required. These are definitely meant for running or walking, not for weight lifting or exercises that require a lot of lateral movements or quick pivots. I typically wear a slightly thinner sock with these, and they don't feel too tight. I also have some thicker socks that I've worn, and my only issue with those is they tend to get pushed up around my heel because of the "padding" inside the shoe, but it's not uncomfortable or too tight-feeling, just a little annoying feeling the bunch up around my heel. I got the titanium/white/turquoise color combo and it's nice and bright!
