Been running in these for a few weeks now. Very comfortable shoe. I have ran in ASICS for years. Only shoe my HS cross country coach ever recommended. I have high arches so I went with this shoe due to its reviews and fit. Very sharp looking shoe; I have the black pair.

I got these at Christmas time for myself and I absolutely love them. I did not like the way that the 18 felt. **Got men's Nimbus 19 because I am a women's 12 which they rarely carry at the outlet near me**

Bought them about a month ago after trying out a pair of Brooks, Hoka, & Adidas running line and these are by far more comfortable no matter the distance. Would recommend going a half size up.

This is my first Asics pair, I specifically wanted one for running. Looking at reviews, it felt that Nimbus was a classic choice for runners, though many reviews complain that Nimbus 19 are too tight or narrow. Since I also figured sizes of Asics shoes are weird, I first went to a store and found any Asics shoes to try on, just to understand what size I am. But actually, the website feature of "your true fit" was exactly right, I ended up buying the size they recommended. I really love how supportive these shoes are, but when they just arrived they felt too tight at the toes. I decided to just wear them in the house for a couple of hours to see if they are indeed too narrow, but they loosened up, and now they feel much better. If I run longer distances (after about 4th mile for me), my feet swell a bit, and I can feel shoes fitting tighter, but it's not necessarily bad, because this also when I want more support, which my other running shoes didn't provide being too soft and stretchy around the toes.

I'm a big fan of ASICS gel nimbus. I wasn't disappointed this time around. I love the cushion and colors. I ran multiple marathons over 7 years wearing gel nimbus and never had issues. This model, however, runs a bit tight. I would recommend to buy a bigger size than usual. Happy feet = happy customer.

I my normal size is women's 9N. I go up to to size 10 in this shoe. This is my 3rd pair. Perfect fit, amazing comfort!Too bad ASICS don't make more styles in narrow.

I'm a PE coach and stand ALL day. This is the best athletic shoe that I've found so far that gives me the support and cushion I need for the job.

The Gel-Nimbus 19 is such a comfortable, supportive, great fitting running shoe. It's the 3rd pair I've had. I hope Asics keeps making the Nimbus

The changes made to the 19 over the 18 are remarkable. Very comfortable and durable.

I haven't wore them as if yet. I always purchase a new pair when they are on sale. Very comfortable, but not affordable until they are in my price range.

This model 19 has gotten a lot of bad reviews but I think it's the best edition in many, many years! I had to break in the past several Nimbus models but this one fit and felt great right away. I guess every user is different. I always go up one full size in the Nimbus. I hope Asics doesn't change a thing!

I've been wearing my Nimbus 16s for far too long. These 19s are really great; well cushioned, stable and supportive. I have a high arch and narrow foot so these fit me perfectly. I have to say I'm a little nervous to hear that the 20s have a wider toe box, that won't be good for my fit profile. Another word about fit; I wear a size 11.5 in my Nimbus 16s and Nike running shoes, however, I needed to go up a size to a 12; this is a first but the fit is perfect. They're a very comfortable shoe. Style wise they're a little subdued in the Lite-Show colorway. The iridescent trim is somewhat noticeable in the gym, I'll have to see outside. They're a great looking, highly comfortable and well fitting shoe; what more can I ask for? Buy them!

I have really bad plantar fasciitis and these shoes make working out possible. Is it a magic cure? No, but it does delay pain onset and they do help lessen what discomfort there is. Before these I was wearing flyknits, and even on a recumbent bike I was dying. Now in these nimbus 19s I can actually run again.

I have 3 pair of this model, but this pair was too short and tight all over. I needed a half size larger. Otherwise they were beautiful, but not purple as stated on the website either, very blue. I had to send back for a different size.

It took me three tries with this shoe to get the right size. I normally wear a 10.5 B width in Asics, but the Kayano's that I normally buy we're really narrow through the toe box so I decided to try Nimbus. I had the same problem. I had to go up to an 11 D width to get a shoe that fit right. I've never needed a wide width or a size 11 before. I love these! They're comfortable for my classes at the gym. I just wish the shoes could be left alone. Our feet didn't just grow bigger. If it's not broken don't fix it!

Absolutely love these. I only wear asics tennis shoes. I only buy the higher quality ones. These are sooo amazing. Best asics I’ve ever had. At first they felt small and stiff but after a few minutes walking around the house, they molded to my feet and have been heaven since!!!!

Im a huge fan of NIMBUS. I love the colors and comfort, but most of all the CUSHIONING. The best shoes for a long distance, is like run on the clouds!
