Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 19

My husband shoes are wide and they fit well.very comfortable on his feet.

I love the nimbus BUT the 19 has been running on the small side and 1/2size up the shoes too big in other areas. The 18 was perfect. I hope the 20's are more loke the 18's

I first fell in love with Gel Nimbus-16 and have since bought these models as my go-to work and running shoe. The Nimbus 19 is great, but I do like the previous Nimbus 17 arch better. Either way Asics continue to provide quality shoes that my feet love.

It's a great pair of shoe. Fits perfectly. Runs a little too wide.

This is my fourth pair of Gel Nimbus.I am mainly a walker and do about 15-20 miles a week of walking including about 6-8 miles of trail walking. This time, I had to order 7.5 D to get the same fit as I previously had in 7 b. So the change in sizing I read about in other reviews is real. I have somewhat more room in the toes, but this pair is not too big. Weird. I feel that the cushioning is not quite as "cushy" as previous in previous years. The soles seem a bit more shallow as to tread. Also, after just 2 months of use the left big toe fabric is fraying. I fixed it for now with Elmer's glue. That is perennial problem in all of my pair of Gel Nimbus. Measurably, the sole is not as wide as previously. I still like the shoe but not as in love as with my first pair of 16's.

Example: I bought this a month ago and am so happy that I did...

I bought 2 pair of GEL-Nimbus 19, which are the same as my old pair, because ASICS apparently changed the footbed in the GEL-Nimbus 20. The arch of the 20 feels completely different and doesn't provide the same support for my foot. So I purchased a pair and a spare of 19s to last a little while.

Really great for long runs, mainly on the road. Order a shoe size or half size bigger than you normally do, because the toe box is tight otherwise. I added the superfeet green insoles, which make these shoes perfect for me.

I've always loved the Nimbus model and purchased 10 different editions (plus multiples of some years). I have wide feet and sometimes have to opt for the Wide option when too many changes are made to the toe box on the regular width shoes. I'd prefer more color options available in wide (since the toe box seems to be narrower than the past) or widen the regulars back to normal. Always my fav shoe!

Nimbus 19 is perfect for me. I plan on doing some light jogging this Spring and this shoe will work just fine. Great for taking daily walks too!

I wear Asics for exercising and walking ... the new Nimbus 19 feels a bit snug in the toe area, but hopefully they'll loosen up a bit with wear. General construction of the shoe looks very good!

Love these shoes but you definitely need to size up if not a half size maybe even a whole size. I typically wear a 7.5 in most other shoes and knew to order an 8 in these but they were so tight across my toes my feet were numb. I had plenty of room length wise so I was hesitant to order a whole size larger but all the cushioning in the back provides enough support that the shoe does not slip. I have a very narrow foot and would say this may not be the right shoe for you if your foot is on the wider side. Great shoe overall, just be patient and get the right fit!

I had the Nimbus 18 Lite-Show last year, and these feel similar. Plenty of cushion, and not too heavy. These shoes definitely aren't lightweight, but they are good for high-mileage training cycles such as "winter base building." The reflective elements aid a bit with peace of mind on dark evening runs. The laces are slightly elastic which feels luxurious in a way and the insole/inner portions are very smooth. I am about 50 miles into this pair and I foresee putting 500+ miles on them easily.

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???
