Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 20

I bought these a few days ago due to fact they're a "neutral" running shoe, and these are hands down 5 stars in all compartments. First day I spent just walking around parks, but after the break in, I began running 5-10kms without any hot spots, lots of springy cushion for every step taken, and they look great + they're a great bang for your buck ! I can't quite comment on the durability just yet, but I'm sure due to the long track record of the previous Asics shoes, they'll hold up just fine :) !

I work as a letter carrier and they lasted about 4 months, that's on my feet walking/etc 8+ hrs a day ~800miles. I am about 75 pounds overweight and my feet never hurt with this shoe. Zero blisters. You get what you pay for! Its worth your health. All black model is great when work requires all black shoes. Just purchased a second pair!

With my arthritis starting to limit my walking distance because of increasing pain in my hip and knee, what I needed was a cushioned and comfortable running shoe that would take the impact shock out of my leg joints. This running shoe is by far the most comfortable and cushioned shoe I've ever worn. I don't expect a shoe to heal or cure joint pain but a good shoe can be like a medicine and this one is. My painless walking distance has easily doubled within two weeks of wearing these. They are light weight, particularly supportive at the heel but without rolling your feet forward and offer stable lateral support. I myself use them only for walking but have comfortably covered ten kilometres at a time. I can only imagine that distance runners will find these to be their favourite shoe in no time at all.

I am a 60+ year old, heavy guy who puts a lot of stress on flat, wide feet. These Asics sneakers provide comfort and cushion for my chronic sore feet that I have not experienced in other sneakers. They have my unconditional, positive vote!!

Awesome Shoe! Very comfortable and great cushion and arch support

I bought this shoe the other day was have been very impressed with the fitment and cushioning.

I love the extra wides. I am on my feet for long hours and these are the best!

I'm a big guy (300lbs) so I have to have comfortable shoes. The Nimbus 20 is the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Thank you Asics!

Having had 17's (great fit), 18's (great fit), 19's (very bad fit, way too narrow), and now the 20's, I am happy to note that they are really wide again! Can we please have bright colors also in the 4E models?

These shoes have great forefoot and heel cushion, which is important for underpronators and neutral runners. Lining is soft and fits like a sock. I also like the heel not being too high. Adidas Supernova I had before them had the heel too high and lacked good forefoot cushion, both of which could lead to injuries. I like the style and the availability of the all-black color option. Important comment of the accuracy of sizing: Some reviewers have claimed that these shoes are too small for their given size. This is absolutely not true. Their sizing is actually extremely accurate. Therefore, do not buy an oversized shoe based on these reviews. They are exactly the same size as my Adidas Supernova shoes, which are known to be of accurate size. My guess is that these reviewers are used to oversized shoes. If you buy an oversize shoe, it could lead the injuries just as an undersized shoe could. If you are not sure, try them in the store. Simple rule of thumb: If the shoe feels tight, it's too tight. If the shoe feels loose, it's too lose. It should not feel tight at all or loose at all. If it feels tight or loose, use the next size. Don't attempt to correct a loose shoe by overtightening the laces. Also, don't rely on artificial rules saying there should be an inch or more gap in front of your toe etc., which could lead you to buy the wrong size. Athletic shoes need to be the perfect size -- neither loose nor tight.

Nicely cushioned shoes for those long runs. Its like running on pillows.

Always consistently GREAT! Will continue to keep buying ASICS.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I only wish they made the wide sizes in more colors. I would buy more!!!

Incredibly pleased with the GEL-Nimbus 20. I was anxious to see how the improved fit of the 20's would work for me and they are perfect. I have about 50 miles on mine and I just love them! Amazing support structure and comfort. Well done!

Purchased at Road Runner Sports in Albany, CA to wear as my daily commuters. Fantastic running shoes. Wide enough for my wide feet w/big arches. I do think that the toe box is a tiny bit narrow for Asics, but it's fine for me! I'd buy them again.

After I weared down my Nimbus 16 totaly purchased this #20. Excellent running shoe. Good investment

You need more 4Es and something other than Black would be nice. This is the only Shoe I buy and you are always out of them and you only have One Color...if you are always out of them, don't you think you need more. Please make more 4Es.
