These shoes run very small. I usually order 8 and I need a 9. Otherwise they are great!

Great running shoe that provides ample cushioning for cross country runners.
Like the purplish color even more in person.

I've worn Asics Gel Nimbus for years. Some years have been better than others. I was very reluctant to spend this kind of money, but I can honestly say these are worth it. Best Gel Nimbus line in many years. Like others, I suggest getting half a size bigger.

I love Asics shoes and have multiple pair. However, I had to go a full size up with the Nimbus 19. I usually wear size 8 and had to go to a 9

I've been wearing Gel Nimbus shoes since the Gel Nimbus 7. I'm a heavier, older jogger: 66 yrs. old and 205 lbs. There isn't any more highly cushioned shoe on the market and I've tried all of the other brands at one time or another and I always come back to the Gel Nymbus. I've always bought size 11s in the Nimbus and the size 11 in the 19 fit perfectly like the others. So people who are complaining about the smaller size are just recognizing the size differences among the various brands. It's a great shoe and they wear like iron. I usually retire them after 400 miles but I continue to wear them as knockaround shoes for years after. I'm sure I could get 600-700 miles out of them if I wanted or needed to. There's no better shoe out there for the money!

These shoes are great, although they seem to run 1/2 size small. Asics are usually my go to brand, but it has been getting more difficult to find them in the right fit/support, they keep changing things for some reason! And these come in a really nice light grey color, a pleasant option to all the other ridiculous colors out these days. Finally, after ordering 3-4 pair, these are the ones! And with a bunion on one of my feet, these have no material that rubs or hurts that area! Very happy with them.

I ran 1000 km with my Nimbus 15 and loved every one, so when it was time to replace them, and having gone through other brands, I knew I was going for new Nimbus. Bought the 19 and they are just as good if not better.
I honestly don't get all the complaints and bad reviews. For me, it was a matter of buying a slightly bigger shoe than my usual size, and they fit perfectly.

These run a size smaller than regular shoes. But a great shoe - they don't have that super push-back padding in the toe, so are very comfortable on neuromas, plantar fascitis, etc.

I have been wearing ASICS GEL sneakers for years - they are, by far, the most comfortable shoe to wear for walking, running, biking and working out. I was getting tired of the funky color choices and was psyched to see that the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 19 came in some plainer colors. I got the gray/white and they are awesome. I have always worn a 9.5 in ASICS (which is 1/2 a size bigger than other sneakers) and I stayed in that size. They fit just as well as all my other ASICS and are just as comfortable. I do have a narrow foot, but I did not notice any difference in the feel of the 19's versus the 18's. All around, they are a great shoe.

comfortable, runs narrow and short. I have a AA foot but had to get regular B width because it runs so narrow.

Omg I ordered 2 pairs of asics. This kind and the cumulus. I have never ordered narrow before bc there was never an option at most places. For the first time I ordered narrow, and this style is brand new for me as I always get asics for running and usually cumulus or other kind that's a Lil cheaper. This is the best pair I have ever ordered. It's like I'm walking on pillows with great support. Also, I finally feel I can get my gait back!! Woo hoo!! Also, the shoe laces aren't 2 yards extra long for once. Thank u zappos and thank u asics. I can go on and on but it's definitely worth the money and I will be ordering this style from now on. These are also great for walking bc I power walk as well.

Great shoe. Does run smaller than all other asics gel nimbus I have owned. I have gel15,16,17&now 18. 18 is the only shoe I had to get a 9 in(all others8.5)...not sure if shoe just cut smaller or if more cushion. Still great shoe and will continue to buy.

I love the Nimbus 19. I agree with another reviewer that it feels smaller or maybe just tighter around my toes. I was going to send them back but my toes weren't touching the top of the shoe, so I kept them. They are really comfortable and look great with the majority of my active wear - lots of grey and black.
Recommend buying two sizes with one a half size larger and keeping the right fit!

I've always sought out Asics because they fit me so well but recently their color choices have been atrocious! I have literally held out for over a year waiting for them to see the light and make a shoe that is not two combined shades of neon! Finally they figured it out and came out with an understated shoe that I can wear to work out or to travel/run around town in. It is PERFECT!! My 21 year old fashionista daughter commented on what a good looking shoe it is. But the best part is the comfort. This may be the most comfortable running shoe I have ever worn. I have a slightly narrow foot and it fits perfectly. I am not slopping around inside the shoe. Not good if you have a wide foot but for anyone normal to narrow I highly recommend.

Amazing comfort!! Order a half size up, runs small. A little heavier than a traditional running shoe but worth the extra comfort.

I have been wearing Nimbus for several years now, I'm disappointed in the sizing but still love the shoe. I have high arches and under pronate, these are the best shoes I've ever owned.
That being said I do think the fit is getting extremely tight, I loved my Nimbus 17 and their fit was right on. For the Nimbus 19 I had to go up a half size (a whole size up from my dress shoe size) and get wide (D). I would highly recommend if possible to go to a store and try them on for sizing.
