Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 19

I would recommend trying these on in store prior to purchasing. Asics seems to be making this line smaller and smaller. I was a size 8 in the gel nimbus 16, size 9 in the gel nimbus 18, and now size 9.5 in the gel nimbus 19. Typically I wear a size 8 in all other types of shoes (non running) purchased. A bit disappointed with the toe box....I was hoping they would bring back more space like the 16s. My foot is narrow so the wide version fits well in the toe box but is too loose in the arch. I have yet to try these for a run, but am hoping my toes don't fall asleep with the updated version.

Brought his show 2 months ago, I have tried and tried but it is way to narrow. Totally disappointed as i have brought ASIC shoes for years.

I bought these about three months ago and they are not nearly as conformable as the 18. Very hard bottom and not as giving.

I have owned every series of the gel nimbus back to the 12 series. The 19 is the worst one ever made. Too small, too narrow, and just not as comfortable. The 20 is much improved more like the 18 felt. Personally I like the older series, around 16 or so, they are a little heavier but more cushion and more durable.

I wear a 11.5 and bought 11.5 and they were too tight. I sent them back and am ordering a 12.

I have always bought Asics Nimbus in a 10.5. I thought nothing of it, so I put them on for work and they are a lot smaller then before. I wore them, so I'm stuck with them.

Buy a half size bigger because these run smaller than the usual Asics.

I bought the 19 hoping it would be like all of the ASICS I've worn. Shoe is tight in the toe and the mesh stuff around the shoe makes it uncomfortable to wear. It seems like their intent was to make it rigid. Not a big fan.

This was my first purchase of ASIC running shoes, and I bought these shoes to help with my subpronation. It does help some with my foot problems, but I found them to be a tighter fit compared to other running shoe styles and a lot less "cushy". Very disappointed in the compfort.

Nearly not as much cushion as my old Gel Nimbus 9. Also rus somewhat small in the toe box, not comfortable.

I was wearing the Gel Cumulus, this is a much cushier ride than the GC. I run about 20 miles a week on concrete and if I could exchange for the GC I would

I have been a loyal GEL-Nimbus customer for the past 6 years. The 19 model is somewhere between a half and a full size smaller than past models. I had heard this and purchased a pair that was a half size larger than previous pairs. On the first couple of runs, I thought they were a little tighter than usual but that they would work. However, they just are too tight for the long runs...very frustrating as they are not cheap.

This is my 4th pair of Nimbus and I've been an Asics wearer for countless years. I ordered my normal running size which is 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size. The shoes are too small as well as the toe box is definitely more narrow now. My feet actually go numb if I wear them too long. If running then consider buying at least a full size larger.

I would have loved it if the size 15 were the same size as the Kayano. Nimbus for sure looked great.

I love asics shoes. This was the second pair I had bought. However, this shoe didn't even make six months. I am moderately active and run usually 3 times a week. I still expect shoes to last longer. The sides have almost broken through and the traction on the bottom is already bare.

Any style in the 19 has been to narrow. ASICS dropped the ball that year

I've bought the Nimbus for years, but the 19s were the first revision that I definitely felt a difference. Either the pair I got is defective, or they've changed for the worse. These shoes didn't have the same "running on a cloud" feel to them like their predecessors. I cloud feel the impact of every step in my ankles and joints. This is the first time I have to seriously think about an alternative road shoe

I bought these about 2 weeks ago and have worn them 1/2 day at work. I am a nurse and I'm on my feet all day. These shoes were so tight and uncomfortable. Now I own a pair of shoes that I will never wear again. I have always worn size 8.5 and they have always been a perfect fit.

I've bought previous releases of the Gel Nimbus and I always love the way they look and feel. Typically I experience a little pain breaking in new sneakers, but for some reason these shoes have caused me more pain than usual and have not stopped. Whether I'm walking or running, my feet go numb and the numbness turns into sharp pains around my Metatarsal bones and the pad of my foot. Sadly I've resorted back to my old sneakers. If I can return or exchange age these, I'd like to.

I wore out an older version of the nimbus. Super comfortable and the best show I've ever owned. The new version fits tight and narrow, very disappointing.

I have gotten Nimbus lite shows for years. Only shoe I would wear. But now they are so narrow it is painful. I am to the point of almost hating to run and I definitely regret wearing them if I forget and go about my day. Why does Asics change what is working?!

These shoes are the same size as every other shoe in my closet but they absolutely kill my feet. Way too tight and narrow. I've tried stretching them out with water bottles in the freezer and I keep towels stuffed in them when I'm not wearing them but it hasn't really helped. If I wear them all day, I have to take them off periodically. I feel like they cut off the circulation to my toes. It's very unfortunate because the sole is the most cushioned sole I've ever had.

GEL-Nimbus 19 is so uncomfortable around top of foot. Much less room than the GEL-Nimbus 18. I can't wait to take them off after my workout. I'll never purchase 19 again. Might even switch brands if 18 becomes unavailable...
