I use these shoes daily for running and crossfit, and they have been heaven since the minute I put them on. Plenty of cushion and ample room in the toe box. These seem to fit more for wide feet. Go up a half size on the length for sure. So far my favorite pair of Asics .

I think these shoes are great. They are really comfortable. I like the padding around the heel to keep from slipping. Feels like walking on a cloud.

I recently started running again and developed plantar fasciitis. I quickly purchased these shoes at my podiatrist's and trainer's recommendations and they have been wonderful so far. I also like the pink/guava color compared to many of the other Asics color combinations -- great support compared to my Nikes and Adidas. After trying these shoes out, I'll definitely stick to wearing these for running!

Nice shoe but 12 2N is too wide in the heel for me. Unfortunately it is also too short, but only figured that out after wearing them for 6 hours so definitely not in "new" condition so unable to return.

My wife struggles to find shoes that are narrow enough in her size. ASICS always seem to do the trick and she loves the Gel-Nimbus 18.

These shoes are so comfortable!! Like walking on a cloud!! I wear them at work for long hours on my feet and they don't hurt at the end of the day! Go a half size up in this number they run small.

I've been wearing Asics for many, many years. I've gone through a few different styles and the Gel-Nimbus is hands down my favorite. It has so much cushion that it truly feels like I'm running and walking on clouds - but extremely stable clouds. My only complaint is that starting with the Nimbus 15, they changed the design slightly, and the toe box is now a little too narrow. I solved the problem by going up a size, but it's disappointing that they changed - that was one of the best parts. A roomy toe box and amazing cushion.

Great shoes! These run a little wide/big but are comfortable, especially after running. Reasonable support, but not too clunky. As a (quite) amateur runner, these feel great.

I have found these to be one of the most comfortable athletic shoes that I have owned. I've tried a variety of athletic shoes and none compare. I've also done a variety of exercises and sports in these shoes and stood on my feet in them for several hours on end and found these shoes to be very comfortable. Just like with any shoe, if you are on your feet for several hours on end your feet are going to start to hurt, but I find that when I am in these shoes they help and my feet are more sore than in pain. I like that Zappos has a pretty wide variety of sizes and styles. I generally wear a size 9 in my every day shoes but go up to a size 10 in boots and athletic shoes. I have neutral to slight under pronation so these shoes are perfect for me. I also have falling arches. It's extremely important to know your feet so that you can find an athletic shoe that fits your needs. I have three pairs of these shoes and just ordered a fourth. One is the previous generation (the 17th) which is slightly different than the 18th generation as far as the interior build is concerned. Unfortunately, these shoes are made in Indonesia rather than the US.

The most amazing fit and comfortable athletic shoe Ive tried in a long time. I found this brand and style through a google search of top reviewed running shoes through runner's world and found my size and decent price on Zappos. Received these next day and have been wearing now for a few months for walking and jogging and still love! Fit a bit small, I am a sz 8, but Purchased 8.5. Perfect!

I have worn these shoes for years! They have yet to disappoint. I have larger feet and they are some of the only shoes that consistently fit.

Beautiful shoe, but am returning as there is not quite enough cushion on the forefoot of shoes. (Though I have foot issues) & if you don't, I'd highly recommend trying them!

I first started wearing ASICS Gel-Nimbus in previous generations for running and loved them. I'm not able to run anymore but still have days that require me to walk long distances. I tried other shoes for those days but found myself gravitating back to my old ASICS even if they were worn. I just spent most of the day walking in my new ASICS Gel-Nimbus 18s and feel great! I wear some shoes in a 6 and some in a 6.5. In these a 6.5 is the better fit.

I've been a runner for over 20 years and have tried every brand of running shoes there is. The Asics Gel Nimbus is my absolute favorite and I've been buying this model for probably 10 years now. I like this number 18 - it pretty much feels like all the others to me with only very minor differences. I've always had to go up a full size with this shoe. I am a heavy runner (not weight-wise but how hard I step) so I need a lot of cushioning or my knees/ankles will hurt - these are PERFECT for those needing extra cushion. The posieden/flash coral color is AWESOME! Highly recommend.

This is my 3rd pair of the Nimbus 18 and my 12th pair of Asics Nimbus starting from the 12 series. I really love this shoe. Very comfy and great arch support. I have worn these for years and after I had lower back surgery I thought I would have to buy an orthopedic shoe or have to wear special inserts because it wouldn't feel the same. Happily I am still able to wear the Gel Nimbus shoe without any modification. I am very happy with the shoe even though I didn't buy any from the 17 series because I didn't like the design. I have seen the 19 version and also not too please with the design of the shoe.It looks like an animal print to me.

I have been in search for a comfortable, supportive shoe that I could wear for my 10 hour shifts in a hospital. I have tried numerous shoes over the past 12 years and none have compared to the instant comfort my Asics Gel Nimbus 18 have! I even asked Santa for another pair! Your feet will thank you for buying these shoes!
