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

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 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.

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.

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...

I am running with Asics shoes since Nimbus 13. I am running 25-30 miles a week and was very happy with the Nimbus 13to 17. I tried the Cumulus 17 and changed 3 pairs. The Nimbus 19 is too narrow at the top so you need to take one size bigger than you used to. In addition, it is not as soft as the previous models.

The shoes are much more narrow than my Nbus 18. I had to unlace them and re-lace them to get them to a point where I could even walk in them. I'm not very pleased with the fit at all; I do, however, love the look of them.

Let me start by saying I've been running with angel Nimbus shoes now for 7 years and every iteration since version 12. I bough this shoe a month ago and so far not impressed, hoping they break in soon because if not I'll be trying to get a replacement pair. They're the same size as my last several pairs but are very tight and are hurting the soles of my feet. So far these have not been a good update for the line.

I have been buying this particular shoe for ten years. They no longer have the support for me. They changed the designed considerably. I have a 16 and they STILL have more support than the 19. I will have to start looking for another brand that can hold up.

They last two Nimbus styles don't fit like they use to. I'm so disappointed and don't know what other shoe to buy now. They ended up giving me blisters.

The GEL-Nimbus 18 saved me from the curse of plantar fasciitis. After just a few months though, there were big holes in them, and I can't find another pair left anywhere. After switching to the 19 in the same size, my plantar fasciitis returned after just a few days. I'm back to wearing my very holey 18s and will until they fall off my feet. Also, these cause numbness in the toes.
