Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 19

I wore the gel nimbus 18 at the recommendation of my PT. However, I thought that my feet were swimming in the shoes and that the shoes did not provide enough support. I saw the reviews of the 19, and people said they were narrower. I did purchase a pair, and they are narrower, which is to my benefit, and they have a much more stable base 1,000 times. I like this pair and will probably buy extras, since asics tends to mess with each generation of shoes. I WISH ASICS WOULD LEARN THAT WE ADULTS DO NOT LIKE BRIGHT CARTOONish COLORS IN OUR SHOES. SWITCH TO BLACK, BLACK & GREY, or WHITE PLEASE. I am wearing my asics shoes just to run, I wear them around and the neon oranges and greens and turquoises are unattractive.

I've bought several pairs of Gel Nimbus over the past 7 years, and although they're still as cushiony as a cloud, I don't like how they feel much tighter now and shorter!! I went to a shoe store thinking my feet grew, but I'm still a 7.5-8.0. So I always run races in 8.5 for toe room, and these recent models feel like a size or two smaller???

It's the lightest Nimbus as yet. You'll feel as if you are floating. However, take one size up as the show feels bit tight.

The 2E is more narrow than the past nimbus 2E shoes. Just make sure to try them on In The house in case they don't fit. I made the mistake and now I'm trying to stretch them out.

After trying these on and testing them as compared to my previous ASIC Nimbus shoes they definitely are an improvement. They feel light and breathable. Good support and feel.

This is the 5th pair of Nimbus I have purchased. I was so sure I would love them I threw away the box before I wore them. I would have returned them otherwise. They have changed! It appears the toe box is smaller, narrower to the point of pinching. The tread appears to be thinner. The tread is how I determine I need a new pair as it wears out and becomes slippery. I walk 3-6 miles everyday. I have loosened the laces and can wear them as a casual shoe but not a walker. They are great looking!

Asics is a great product. But they consistently wear out on the TOP. Where the mesh meets my big toe springs a hole every time. (And, yes, I do keep my toenails short) I keep replacing them because they are super comfortable, but goodness, it's time to fix the lousy mesh top

I've been wearing ASICS Nimbus for many years and loved them. I needed a couple of new pairs and tried on the Nimbus 20. It was horrible and nothing like a Nimbus. The cushion is gone. I was told a better foam is being used and they are lighter. Why change something that has been one of the biggest sellers? I tried the 19 and it was, as everyone said, too small. BUT the cushion was still there. I may go a 1/2 size up and purchase. Please bring back the real Nimbus and the cushion that comes with it!

This is the second pair of Gel Nimbus 19 I have owned, I tried the 20 and returned it since it was worse than the 19. For the 19, I did have to increase my shoe size from a 8.5 to a 9.5 to get these to fit. I wish we could go back to the version 16,17, heck, even the 18, those shoes were so much more comfortable for high impact workouts. I even tried on my old 17 versions, all worn out and they still feel superior. The toe area was much better back then and the feel of the shoe was incredible. But if I can't get the older versions, I guess this version will do. I am still hoping Asics will go back to the older designs. I am starting to look at other brands.

Before purchasing I did read the reviews and still choose to go with the nimbus 19 as Asics has never let me down before. The reviews were right. The shoe does run narrower then the past styles. They still fit good in the length and they are comfortable just a little snug.

this model runs smaller than others, I bought size 8, compared to other size 8 this one is more like 7 1/2.

I have loved Asics shoes for years. This time it wasn't a good one and no a very good style since it's too narrow on the toes. First day of use and they hurt my feet.

Bought a 4(E) width and pretty disappointed. Laces are wide open and still not great.

I love the asics gel nimbus and have been buying these for years. The nimbus 19 seems to fit smaller and is more narrow than the others is why I gave it a 3 rating. The 19 still has cushion and comfort but fits smaller.
