Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs SmallRuns Large
Poor SupportGreat Support
I've had 3pairs of the nimbus's in the past and all lasted and all were true to size. This time around asics has seemed to changed their sizing. I had to go with a half size bigger. If you're in market for running shoes asic nimbus are great but go up half size or even full size with the 19s

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
