Just recently received these. Thank you for changing the fitting. More true to ASICS old school feel....

I am a Asics only shoe person. Every time I have tried something else; I always go back to Asics. The only disappointment I have with the Nimbus is I prefer more cushion at the front of my foot; the Nimbus doesn't have as much I some of the other Asic shoes.

Here are the issues: more color choices other than black for people that require width of 4E would be great. Wish it has more arch support and more cushion for the feet. I have the previous version, which unfortunately came only in black, has been given me a lot foot pain. This version is a slight improvement. I have been a long time of buyer of Asics shoes, I hope you guys improve on the next version.

I have Good Feet inserts for my shoe. The new 20's have a squeak when I walk in them. I have an older pair of 19 Asics an they don't squeak with the inserts. Is there away to oil the new ones? (Ha, Ha.)
Also while I am at it:
My wife would like for me to have an all back pair, more formal, not a black and white pair that look like running shoes. I have thought that a large Sharpie might do the trick but have not tried it yet.
I am not giving these up because they are comfortable!

The shoe is wide, but not extra wide, so if you have a real wide foot, be aware of that. It is real soft. That great! But the arch support is almost non-existent. I had to buy insoles to go in them to help with the arch. I find my feet still hurts some after standing for long periods of time.

The shoes feel really good on my feet, but there is something in the heel of the left shoe that "pops" every step I take. This is annoying and the only reason I would not rate the shoe with 5 stars.

This was my second pair in the last 4 months. I bought exactly the same size shoe and found the new pair does not fit very well. I decided to run in them and see if they loosened up. After a 20+ miles I still have a painful right foot. I saw that the return policy was unused.I don't know why the fit is different.Overall this is my 5th pair of nimbus shoes.my advice is to not rely on the stated size

I only wear Asics Nimbus and buy 3 pairs a year. This pair is going to be tougher to break in, so I will wait until the 21 model yo buy my second two pairs..

I bought this a monthy ago, there shoes are not as cushy as the Gel Nimbus 18's I last purchased. Those felt like I was running / walking oin clouds, these ... not suo much. Hope they do the job though even if they are not immeditely as seemingly as comfortable or supportive.

I buy Asics all the time but this is the first time I bought this style. I wanted more structure at the toe. These definitely have that. They are a lot less comfortable than other style Asics that I've bought. They also feel about 1/2 size smaller than the other Asics I've purchased.

Fit's OK, but not the same sole as on the pair I had previously: thinner. Had planned to order a second pair, but now I'm not sure....

Been with Asics for 10+ years and they have changed their sizing. Had to move up at least a 1/2 size.

I had hoped that the toe box size had returned to version 15, but they are still making this shoe narrower

Not worth the money. Other reviews about sizing accurate. This should be a $50 shoe

I bought them two weeks ago and I'm still having problems with right insole not fitting right at the arch. I only buy the nimbus's and have never had this issue. Maybe it just wasn't cut right.

This shoe is MUCH narrower than marked width (10 4e) across the ball of the foot. Wider than the 19 but still much narrower than the 18 and before.

I order two different sizes with 2nd being a wider version. I canceled both. It appears that your shoes are now more narrow than they used to be. I order a wide version of Brooks as much more comfortable and better fit.

I have been a huge fan of this line. My last 2 pair I think were the 19s and were great.
Typically I replace my shoes when the new model arrives. I assumed these would be similarly comfortable. I was wrong. My poor big toe. Not sure exactly how to explain but these have a slightly harder material that wraps around the toe box as all of previous models did. These, for some reason extend the stiff material back over the toes towards the laces but only in a small section directly over the big toe. When I run the nail of my big toe sometimes get hung up on the material because it doesn't go back very far. Just about an inch maybe. It ends at almost the exact spot my toenail can grab the edge when I'm running. It hasn't yet bent my toenail over but felt as it would so I figured Id stop running in them and just wear them regularly to break in the stiff material a little. Worn them now for about 2 weeks straight and no better. I don't have odd toes and none of the others had this. Between feeling slightly tighter in the toebox area and this weird stiff spot only above my toe Im gonna get something else cause its not worth it. Flipping a toenail over is never fun. Im not done with asics but im done with this line for a while.

This shoe is not as well built as the v19 shoe was last year. the Mid Sole is not near as supportive. I can feel the outer sole under the ball of my foot and am having to replace the insoles due to heel pain. My v19 shoes are better built.
