Ordered the D size because I needed it; unfortunately it wasn't a true D as agreed by my orthotist. Sending back -

The shoes are very uncomfortable. I had the nimbus 19 and they were amazing. This shoe is not made the same as that one. Change it back to what it use to be.

ASICS just aren't what they used to be. Shoes don't last long and support is lacking

The shoe box toe is made much narrower than prior. Even in a wide width and going a size bigger still not comfortable in the toe. I will be returning. I had read other reviews stating the same thing but decided to try since my feet are narrow.

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. I had previously purchased a pair of the Nimbus 20s and I had left them a little over six months ago and I absolutely loved them. My workout routine is daily burn every day and this new pair is stiff and actually kind of uncomfortable. The inside where your foot should be cushion on the bottom is rather hard and it's really kind of narrow in the heel. I know I bought the correct size and I know I've purchased the correct width. I am overall kind of disappointed and I think I'm gonna be looking for another brand of sneaker.

The Asics sizing seems to have changed. I am now having to go 2 sizes up to get them long enough, but now the arches don't line up. I've been in Asics 20 years, but now I'm going to have to find another shoe.

I ordered this shoe in the size that I always order in asics, and they are too tight all the way around. They make my feet tingle because they will not loossen up even with wear. Dissappointed.

Cushioning did not compare in the least to an exact looking model I bought at a retail store IN Baxter. Returned for refund.

No cushion compared to the same shoe I bought a year ago.

I am a staunch fan of Asics running shoes and have worn several styles over the years-Kayano, GT-2000, Cumulus and several Nimbus versions. Recently I purchased the Nimbus 20. I was very disappointed. The heel padding and cup were lacking in cushion/comfort, the shoe was short in size and narrow through the toe box. I wore them in my home on the carpet for an hour(which I like to do with new shoes) to determine lace adjustment, etc. My feet and toes were cramped and tingly. I have returned the shoes and am hoping the Kayano 25 style will be better.
FYI-My favorite Nimbus shoe I have ever worn was the 16 version.

I love the Gel Nimbus 20 for it's cushy-ness and that it comes in Wide BUT I wish the toe box was wider. The shoe felt Great the first day - but the 2nd, 3rd and 4th -- not so good - seems the toe box isn't as wide as I need. So - I can wear them a bit - but not for long. I'm hoping they work out a bit because I really do love them and they aren't inexpensive. Sad they were SO GOOD the first day - but outside on the street - not so good. Too tight in the toes!

I bought these shoes a few weeks ago, I have had many pairs of ASICS in the past and loved them. These do not measure up. They are not comfortable and are already worn around the lace eyelets. The quality is not what I expect from ASICS. I'm disappointed because I invested in a pair that wasn't on sale hoping to have a great experience. I am looking for another pair of shoes so I don't have to wear these. I have worn them so cannot return. May look at other brands.

I purchased this shoe in hopes it would be more comfortable for my long runs. This shoe is too heavy and uncomfortable.

I have been wearing Asics for over 15 years and have always worn a size 10, this shoe is definitely a half size smaller or narrower, my toes and ball of foot go numb and are crowded. Cute show though:)

I purchased this, however, I had to return it as it was too tight for my foot.

I should have listened to the other reviews. I ordered my usual size, 9W and the toe box was much too narrow and shallow. A size up might help. too bad, 'cause I really like the color choices.

Very comfortable when trying on in the store, but very uncomfortable for wearing 12 hours while at work! My back was hurting so bad by the end of my 12 hour shift that I was in tears. I’ll definitely be sticking with my Brooks from now on.

i wanted to like this shoe so very much that i bought and returned several sizes. I usually take a 6.5 medium width but actually went as high as a 7.5 wide width and it still didn't fit properly. Very short and very narrow. Shoe didn't seem to fit over my instep.

I’ve worn Asics for over 25 years and I’ve never had a problem before, but these are just awful. There’s about a half inch of foam on the inside of the heel which makes them feel terribly cramped and small, plus it pushes the toes too deeply into the toe box, throwing off the entire fit. It also made my heel slip far too much. This shoe is a pretty, but the fit makes it a total loser.

I'm unendingly frustrated with my normal new balance so I thought I'd try these, especially since there are so few shoes for underpronation. Unfortunately they run extremely narrow. Even in the wide width. Disappointed.

I usually love Gel Nimbus shoes. The gel nimbus 20 that i ordered looked great but there. The problem was no cushion in the sole. They also felt at least half size small. Will have to try on in the store to find correct size and then order from Zappos. Previous Gel nimbus shoes always fit when I ordered an 8 1/2. I don't understand why Asics felt they had to change a good shoe.

Attractive looking shoe but Asics have really changed for the worse over the years - poor quality shoe overall, my feet hurt after 10 minutes in a Les Mills Body Attack class; had to change shoes during class - it is a very small, very narrow shoe and I have a fairly narrow foot - I was looking for a well cushioned shoe, these are fairly stiff and hard so back they go!

I was very disappointed with this shoe fit (the color/look were good). I bought and returned two different sizes, trying to find one that fit. I am a natural size 5 and have been in prior Asics shoes. After reading the reviews that said to order larger, I ordered a 5.5. That one was far too tight in every direction - it would barely close over the top of my foot and my toes were at the very end. I returned and ordered a size 6. While the toe box did feel right, I laced them up and within 5 minutes my feet were tingly/numb due to the tightness at the top. I've been a big Asics Gel Nimbus fan for years, but will be finding a new shoe.
