I have just ordered my 8th and 9th pair of thee athletic shoes. My podiatrist recommended them and they relieve my back and foot pain. the insole is removable for putting in an orthotic which I sometimes use.
The shoes clean up well if they get soiled and I wear them daily. There is lots of room for toes and they do not slip on my heel. They are truly comfortable.
I'd also recommend:
I wouldn't buy any other brand

I bought my first pair of Asics in 1988 when I began running. Now I have arthritis in my knees, feet and spine, so require a lot of support just walking and standing. Asics still fit the bill. I wear my tennis shoes everywhere and replace them often. These feel amazing. I treat myself to a new color every few months. Expensive, yes, but worth every penny for the quality of life I seek to maintain despite my disabilities. :-)

Very comfortable. True to size. Blue was a little brighter than I expected.

So glad I tried the 20's after hating and returning the 19's. These are like the comfort cushion and support of the 17 and 18 nimbus models with nice toe box room.

Sadly, I had to retire my 16s a few weeks ago.They were my favorite walking and running shoe. I loved the style, comfort, and color! Yeah. It was a sad day, when I had to chunk the 16s in the trash. I searched for the latest in the same line and color and came across the 20s. Now, initially I was not impressed with the style change... possibly because I was obsessed with my 16s. So for my birthday, I decided to go ahead and treat myself. Arrived as soon as expected. I tried them on, and booyah!!! They were cute, hot and spicy. Yeah. Took them out for a 5K, straight out the box ....a few days later....and to my surprise ...experienced a better cruise control! Same comfort and support. I am happy with my purchase. Just wish they were not so expensive, but they do last hold up. My practice is to go between other shoes, so I can hold on to my favorite pair. Other than $$$, receive excellent review. Thumbs up.

I love ASICS nimbus! I have worn them for several years. I stand all day and couldn't pick a better shoe for the comfort.

I have been wearing ASICS Nimbus since the 16s... and starting with the 19s, the sizing has been off. The 20s size is much better than the 19s, but still run small. The cushion/comfort is not like it used to be - slightly more firm than 18s and earlier. I am a nurse and am on my feet for long hours, I had to order a full size larger - 9.5W - to get the same fit I have always gotten with 8.5M. I never had to worry about the fits in years past... the price keeps going up but with lowered comfort, I am not sure I can justify the cost. I wish I had purchased multiple 18s!!

Asics has gone back to the earlier width with this shoe. Most recently, there were many complaints that the regular medium shoes had gotten more narrow and in fact, they had. These shoes are very comfortable, they do not squeeze your toes. They are a perfect fit!!

I have been an Asics fan for years. My feet over pro-nate causing severe pain in some toes. Little did I know that my shoes were causing the pain. This shoe has solved that problem. No more sore toes or feet. Used to run 10 miles per week, and now walk 15-20 miles each week. Wish Asics would stick to what they know. Seems that they change the shoe and size around a lot. The GEL Nimbus 18 was my fav! These run small and narrow. I usually wear a 7 and have to buy the 8 wide. These will last me about 6 months, however, my last pair wore out in 2 months. Not sure why.

I have the Gel Nimbus 18 and wear them on my 12hr shifts. I bought the 20 and love them as much. I wear 9, but buy 9.5 in running shoes and did notice that the Nimbus 20 is a tad bit smaller in length. Still works fine for me, but I am not using these for running. Just using the great support for my 12hr shifts to avoid pain in the ball of my foot. Works for me!

These sneakers are very comfortable! I am a nurse and I wear these to work! Perfect for long hours on your feet. Just make sure you order a size bigger. My regular shoes are size 7 and I always by my ASICS sneakers in a 7.5, these I wear an 8. I originally got a 7.5 but the toe part was very uncomfortable, I was able to exchange the sneaker for a size 8 and they are perfect! Would definitely recommend!

This is my second pair of Nimbus 20s. I've been wearing the Nimbus line since the 17 series and I won't wear another! Stiff footbed the first time they're worn but very comfortable after that

Really comfortable shoes, D width was just right for me. Pink color was feminine, but cuter color options would be nice. Will be using these mostly for walking and during international travel.

This shoe fit like my ASICS Cumulus 18s! The Cumulus 20s didn’t feel quite right - on the small side - and I hadn’t been able to wear the Nimbus 18s because the fit too snugly with lots of padding. Imagine my surprise at the switch! And this shoe in the azure/white is so pretty I bought a second pair in the same color.

Great shoe for those of us with high arch and narrow heel. You do have to order up a size. I normally wear an eight or 8 1/2 in a shoe and I ordered a 9 1/2 and have enough room in the toe box. I love that it actually has eyelets! It is easier to get on and off and my last shoes.
