Unfortunately the shoe is not a true size. I ordered 9Wide. Feels like 8 1/2 and is not a wide for sure. Had to put on the shoe stretcher. So different than my last pair. Can't rate performance or comfort since I have not worn the shoe yet.

I love ASICS but this pair runs on the tight side...I wear an 11 and can't go up any higher. Was told it was due to fabric changes and sometimes fabrics fit tighter. Would like ASICS to take that into consideration for future models. Smaller feet People can always go down in size if shoes run big but people with larger feet can't always just go up to the next size.

I've use ASICS for years and years, I always buy two to have my back up just in case. The nimbus 19 is very uncomfortable for me. I've always use the nimbus. It seemed the width is smaller. I use a size 8.5 now even a size 9 seemed tight. I went to one of the stores here in Houston two weeks ago to ask and the lady in the store told me that yes the sizes are smaller this time. How can that be? How would I know? It is a very dissatisfyer for me. I wish I had bought 3 of the Nimbus 18. This is a good thing though at least you guys will know because of this review. I want to stick with Asics but if it is uncomfortable then I have to find another shoes. Thanks

I love how comfortable the shoe is, great for running and even just walking. I can tell when I haven't been wearing supportive shoes, when I put these on it feels like walking on clouds. I am however disappointed in the quality of the shoe. I've never had a pair of tennis shoes rip.. near the baby toe on the outside of the foot, the shoe started tearing after only a few uses. Unfortunate because of how comfy the shoe is

I read the reviews and ordered the D width. I usually wear a standard width in sneakers. The 10D was too narrow and also too short. I felt like my toes were at the end of the shoe. There was not an 11 available so I returned. I was very disappointed because I liked the look and the padding in the heel.

These run very small length and width. I have an older version of this shoe in 7.5. After several returns I ended up getting an 8 wide and they still feel too tight. I actually think I need the 8.5 or 8.5 wide but I already wore them outside before I realized they were rubbing. It was only once maybe I should ask to exchange again.

Runs small. I wore a 9 in my last pair of Nimbus and these were far too small. Returning.

The shoes were okay but you need to offer a wider selections my shoes are a little too narrow for a size 13

I chose this model of Asics shoe because it was recommended for knee support as well as Achilles tendonitis. The gel and design for those particular concerns is very good. However, I had to return my first pair because they were so narrow. Often, I can wear a B or C width. Asic's width tends to run narrow. Even when I received Asic's width D, it's still somewhat cramped but wearable for short to moderate length of time.

I loved the Nimbus 18 but the 19 rum very small and narrow. I usually order up a half size from my regular shoes but with this I needed a whole size larger. Haven't use it yet because I need to return it.

After reading the reviews, I ordered half a size larger. I was sooo disappointed they were still way too small. And even too narrow. I was really hoping they’d fit because I like ASICS, and I liked the colors.

Ordered the Asics Gel-Nimbus 19 on sale hoping to replace a Nimbus purchased 1 year ago (model unknown but cost $160.00). The Nimbus 19 is NOT the same shoe at all. I should have paid more attention to the reviews, but the Nimbus 19 is very small and not as cushioned as the pair that I am replacing. Nice price but not enough to keep them so they are going back.

I want to preface this by saying I Love Asics shoes. Although this is a nice shoe it runs REALLY small. much more narrow in the toe than previous nimbus versions. also the toe area is thinner cushion. I prefer the older models of the Nimbus

These shoes have a VERY narrow toe. I ordered a 9.5M which is what I've worn in ASCIS for over 5 years. There's no way these are the same shoes that I've been wearing. Returned and will have to look at a different brand.

I loved the look of these shoes. I ordered a wide and a half size larger based on the reviews and still found the shoe too narrow and the half size up was still a little tight. I'm returning them and going with Brooks.

Purchase a pair in black, 1/2 size larger as suggested, and loved them.......so I decided to purchase a pair of flash coral in the same size. They are much tighter, width wise and length wise as well. Same shoe, only different color. Zappos is great, Asics, I am not impressed. What kind of quality control is going on?

I run in the ASICS Gel- Nimbus 18 and love them. So, I was really disappointed when the Gel-Nimbus 19, arrived and I saw how different they were. The 19 is much more narrow throughout the toe-box. It also seemed to have a shorter sole when I held them side-by-side. I am going to have to search for 18s or find a new brand of running shoe.

Apparently this line run 1/2 smaller than other ASICS shoes. Maybe put that on the description to save time/return? Or just make all your shoes consistently sized?

Had the same cushion as all the Nimbus ASICS but the fit of these was very narrow, tight and short! I've been wearing these for years buy at least 4 pair a year. Hope the Nimbus 20 is better.

I wear ASICS exclusively usually the Nimbus but the 19 was not as great as the previous ones. The cushion was still fine but fit poorly.

I own 4 pairs of Nimbus 17 and love the style and fit. However, the Nimbus 19 is too tight at the toes. What has changed? I can't figure out any improvement, only frustration on my part for not being able to order a Nimbux model and have it fit perfectly as before.
I'd also recommend:
Asics is the only brand I am interested in for my aerobic workout shoes.
