Love these so much more than the 19’s. The toe box is roomier in these. Ordered another pair because they fit so much better. Only shoe I can wear with my plantar fasciitis.

I always buy ASICS shoes, the fit is perfect and the cushioning helps protect against my knee issues.

I bought my pair in 2017. Although I seriously didn't like the 19s I REALLY LIKE THE 20!!! I wear an 8.5. I have narrow to a average width so the 20s are GREAT!! I'm really surprised at the negative reviews about the Toe Box! They definitely were too narrow in previous versions, however the 20s in my opinion are a LIFESAVER! Actually I am on the site now looking for a new pair because I've worn mine out in a year. I wear them EVERYDAY, ALL DAY!! I'm excited about the new colors! Can't wait to buy my next pair SOON!!

I've been buying ASICS for years. Excellent quality and durability. I had to order a half size up though this time. Not sure why because I've always worn 8.5.

I LOVE these sneakers! They are super cushy. I don't run since I have arthritis, but I walk enough that I don't need to wear a pedometer to see if I get in 10k steps. I normally wear a 6 1/2 in sandals and a 6 1/2 or 7 in closed toe shoes although lately I'm more of a 6 1/2 in everything. I had to get a 7 1/2 in these and I was thinking about getting an 8 since my big toe on one of my feet is so close to the front of the shoe, but I didn't want to order and have to do a return. Anyway, these fit fine and are extremely comfortable. I tried the Mizuno Wave Riders, but they looked like old lady shoes and had a weird lump under the side of my heels. I wish these didn't have the design under the overlay, but I got black/white/carbon and they just look black with white on the sole so you don't see the design on the toe.

I began wearing ASICS nimbus athletic shoes after experiencing a severe case of planter fasciitis and a broken foot. Arch support was important. I went from a nimbus 17 to 20 this year. The 20 is 1/2 size smaller and slightly narrower. Initially this show was a bit stiffer; but one it shaped to your foot is felt perfect. The gel sole is wonderful I recommend this shoe but also think you should try on many styles to find the right one for you. My son also purchased an asic runner and loved it. Said it was like walking on a cloud

These are very comfortable. I do wear orthotics and they fit comfortably with the orthotics in the the shoe (after removing the innersole). I love the color of blue. These feel like they were made for me. I ordered them in black and rose too. The toe bed is perfect in these too. Excellent shoe for comfort.

I have to experiment with a couple different sizes because my right foot is different from my left foot in size. I also have bone issues with my right foot as well. I am a registered nurse and I run an alzheimers unit with 20 residents so you know I am on my feet alot when at work. I work more than 48 hrs a week. I said all that to say this. I could not do my job if it wasn't for me discovering asics gel nimbus style shoes. Please don't ever stop selling them. The only thing I could ask is maybe improving a little more on the arch support part for people like me who have very flat feet. Other than that, the shoe is fantastic! I love the 3 pair that I recently bought. The first pair was bought at Dicks sporting store in Niles, Ohio. The black pair and the grey pair I bought from Zappos and I am extremely pleased with all 3 of them. People I work with are also converting over to asics gel shoes as well!
I'd also recommend:
ASICS.....the best!

I went from a GEL Nimbus 16 to a GEL Nimbus 20 and the difference was not that far apart except a little less cushion under the ball of the foot. I also use additional custom orthotic.

This is my 3rd pair of ASICS and couldn't be more pleased with the improved size selection and comfort. I was generally a size 10 but because the sneakers tend to run narrow and tight, I tried a 10.5 size. I have just enough extra room and I am so satisfied with the comfort and fit. I strongly suggest anyone to try the half size up if you've had problems with tightness in the toes or width.

Comfortable running shoes. I’d would recommend half size larger. Excellent arch support. Worth the money.

I bought these in the 20th Anniversary edition after having an Achilles injury. I bought them from a running store the night before my first race back from my injury. While I still had some discomfort (NOT from the shoe) I was able to complete my run and actually make amazing time coming in 4th in my age division! These have more support than any shoe I have ever worn. I have super narrow feet (between an A and a B width) and they actually fit my feet! I will be buying more in different colors!

This is the third pair of sneakers I have bought in two months and I've finally found a pair which are as comfortable as the Saucony sneakers I used to wear. I had bought at least six pairs of Sauconys in a row, but Saucony seems to have changed their shoes. The Asics Gel Nimbus 20 is supportive, has soft cushioning, and the arch support is enough without feeling that they are poking me in the arch. I wear my sneakers for walking. My feet, legs and back are much happier now! They seem true to size in every way.

I bought the Nimbus 20, and was thrilled to find that they are of the same quality, and fit of the 18's and previous years. Thank you for listening to your customers, and making the Nimbus 20 the most comfortable running shoe on the market. Please do not change the fit again. I think I'll order another pair too stock up just in case. I LOVE the blue on blue print, and black frosted rose.

I noticed there is a TON of variability in the reviews - reflecting the variability in the population and the Asics avid fan population as well. Sharing my thoughts with the intent to inform. I really love them and bought 2 pair. Details: I am 6'1 with a normal/narrow foot and high arch. Size 12. I've used this brand for over 25 years (ebbing and flowing maybe 3 times when the updates didn't suit me - e.g., the nimbus19) - The shoe is the perfect combo of comfortable (but not snug) and cushion. I can see how this shoe might not work as well if you had a super wide foot (so you might try ordering the wide width). - 100% better on cushioning, sizing, and overall quality IMO vs the 19. - quality and performance seem to be holding up well after 2 months (I tend to use the product before sharing feedback with only first impressions) - they added new colors recently The only issue I've had with my experience in the past year has nothing to do with the shoe. Someone at corporate must address the dreadful order to ship time. Order fulfillment from a global distributor should never be 3+ days with incremental time to ship. That's just archaic/barbaric in this present day economy.
