Due to the customer reviews I ordered a half size larger and they fit well. Nice arch supportive even though they are very cushy. They feel great. It's taking a little time to get used to them since the shoes I wore before were very wore out. The area at the back of the heel at the Achilles tendon is a little high but the cushion helps. So far I really like them. If anything changes I'll update my review.

I bought a pair after reading a review a writer posted regarding their battle with Plantar Fasciiatis. I have the same problem on my left foot and a knee injury on my right side. I need support for my active life. I love that these shoes wrap around my feet offering great support. My feet do not slide around in the shoes. The shoes are snug and I like that. I wear a size 7 in ASICS and the fit perfect. If you are concerned that they may be snug, go up .5 a size.

Love the Nimbus - have ordered many times and always order this same pair. Thankfully the tight toe box issue seems to have been remedied (was an issue a couple versions back). So comfortable and feel like they are a perfect fit. However, I will say that you have to size up (or at least I do). I normally wear a 7 in everyday shoes. I am a true size 7, with a wider than normal toe box, but not super wide. In these, and in all Asics I've had, whether the Nimbus or the Kayano, I have to order an 8.5 in order for them to fit. This is a pretty big bump up in size, but I've tried the 8s and they're too small. So, highly recommend these shoes, and recommend sizing up.

Excellent shoes in every respect. If your feet feel well the rest of your body will perform well.

I always buy the Ascics gel nimbus because they are comfortable and work for me. This pair did not disappoint! I wear a 9 1/2 in this style and that was still a good fit for me! In a street shoe, I wear an 8 1/2 but I always go up a full size when buying an athletic shoe. I will say my feet tend to be on the narrow side but I get a medium width when I buy shoes. I got the grey and pink and am most happy with this color combination!

Hard as a rock!!I loved these shoes for the longest but most recently beginning with the 15's or 16', they have been getting progressively more uncomfortable. In the 20's the insole is as flat as a dollar bill and offers the same amount of cushion. The toebox is still small but ever so slightly bigger than the 18's. I quit!!

Beautiful shoe! However, the AA feels like a AAA. Returning them for a B width. The color is nice and the shoe is exceptionally light weight.

I ordered 9W and they felt a whole size smaller. There is no way that I wear a size 10.
I'm returning.

I love asics, they seem to fit my feet better than other brands. Very light, decent arch support and cushy make them perfect! Fit same as my other styles is asics so beware some reviews

Love these shoes so much I just ordered a second pair. I wear a very narrow shoe, and I find it frustrating when shopping for shoes. When I find a style I like, it usually comes in only one color combination in a narrow width. Usually it is only in a bright color combination, which draws attention to my long feet. I want something a bit more conservative.I am forever looking for something in a black or navy. I finally found something this year. Thanks.

I would like to start off by saying I am NOT a runner. However, I am a school teacher and am on my feet ALL day! About 6 months ago I began having trouble with my left hip. Pain radiating down my leg to the point that I was limping. We tried exercises, hot / cold packs and finally a shot. I then developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot, probably from limping so much because of my hip. Again, exercises, hot / cold packs and massages for my foot. Next, came tendon stress on the top of my left foot which caused hot, shooting pains, constant dull ache and swelling, sometimes from my toes to about halfway up my calf. I was then x-rayed to see if I had somehow obtained a fracture. I had not. I wore a walking boot for 3 weeks to try and stabilize the tendon and take some stress off while it hopefully healed. It didn't work. I was finally sent to Dr. Penny Lawin in Jackson, MS. She gave me a list of shoes that some of her patients recommend due to the success they achieved. The Asics Gel Nimbus 20 was on that list. I tried them on in the store and immediately loved the way they felt on my foot, very snug and secure. I have only been wearing them about a week and my pain, from my toes all the way up to my hip, is almost COMPLETELY GONE! I am telling everyone about these shoes! You don't have to be a runner to receive the benefits. Thank you for a quality product that delivers what it says! I will definitely purchase these again!

I bought these for my wife who initially balked at the price, then after trying them is very happy with them and doesn't feel the cost is prohibitive.

Super comfy and I love the colors. However, the overall shape has an exaggerated hourglass shape. I wear a size 11.5, so it may be more of an issue on the bigger sizes. The front of the foot area had a very round, wide space.

Gel Nimbus are the only shoe I can wear and they don't hurt my feet. I ordered in Wide cause of reviews saying they was too narrow. I'm glad I did wide.
