I've been running in the Nimbus for many, many years. I was somewhat nervous to order the 20's after reading the reviews. But I took a chance and ordered my usual size. The reviews were right, they do run SMALLER...I had to exchange to go up a half size from my previous pairs. I do LOVE these sneakers, they feel great and they're much cuter than my Nimbus 18's. I run long distances, usually training for half marathons...I need good cushioning, otherwise my knees pay the price, and these have always been the best sneakers for me. I'll probably order a few pairs (like I usually do) so I don't have to stress buying new sneakers again for a while. Happy running!

Asics are a good fit for me. This shoe is near perfect what with my foot issues. I have broken most of my toes and the last one healed poorly, even so I am able to wear this shoe with less discomfort than others I have. I even attempted changing out the inner sole with one of Dr Scholl's 'custom fit' orthotic type of insert and find the shoe performs better with it's own insert. I like the dark blue color with jeans as well - went to dinner with slacks and a blazer and wasn't self conscious about wearing sneakers rather than a dressier shoe. Some of my Asics are over 10 years old and I can't part with them for outdoor use on dusty mountain trails. I've returned other brands such as NuBalance with a very wide toe box and still use a pair of Nikes just because but never if I'm going to be on my feet for hours. I just wish they had a line of 'dressier' shoes for business or an evening out.
I'd also recommend:
I can't, but casual slip on that works for me is Clark's.

I have bought so many models of these shoes. They work great with orthotics. Highly recommend.

These are great walking shoes... I have a large, narrow foot, and am so glad ASICS makes women’s tennis shoes in a 13 Narrow. They hug my feet just right and give proper support for long walks with the dogs. Yet they aren’t heavy and cumbersome. Good combination of comfort and support. Not a bad price, either.

Great sneaker! I had the Asics Nimbus 18 and loved the comfort and style. The only problem I have had in the past was the toe pops through the material. It looks like on the Nimbus 20 they have given the toe a little more support so I am hoping this will not happen. These are very comfortable. I ordered the light gray, black with pink and the indigo blue. I am returning the light gray as they will get dirty quickly, but I love the black with pink and the blue.

These sneakers fit as expected with the added advantage of plenty of support. I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis for a few months and this helps to keep me walking my daily 4 miles. I would definitely recommend this style of ASICS.

I have been running in the Asics Gel Nimbus for many, many years. The 17 was my last cushy favorite, the 18 was almost as good, the 19 I had to go up a half size for the toe box not to be too tight, but the rest was okay. I went for the half size larger in the 20 and I am glad I did. I haven’t run in them yet but they feel comparable to the 18’s in toe box width and overall feel. My 18’s were 6 1/2, I went to 7 for 19 and 20. Before the Nimbus I ran in the Cumulus when my mileage was lower. I have a wide forefoot, narrow heal and wear custom orthotics and the Nimbus meets my needs of 25-30 miles per week.

These run about 1/2 size small, according to Asics. I agree. I wear an 8 1/2 usually and ordered a 9 medium. They are perfect. I prefer this particular top of the line style (Nimbus) but it is usually quite expensive. I have tried less expensive styles and have been sorry--my feet are 68 years old. I am a very active person and deal with plantar fascitis every now and then, and hip problems. I believe the lesser styles of Asics are still better than most shoes on the market, without regard to price--but the Nimbus is simply my favorite. I purchased two pairs and am very glad I did. The toe box is a bit narrower than in earlier model years, but it is still quite comfortable for my old feet that refuse to stop working out daily and getting in those 10,000 steps each day. Happy feet means a happy me!

I ordered an 8 when I normally wear a 7.5 in my other ASICS. It fit perfect. The 7.5 was too small.

I switched over to these shoes after dealing with shin issues from having an overall too arch-supported shoe. Though initially anxious about the switch over, with this shoe I experienced just the right amount of support as well as weight. More supportive shoes can at times slow a person down during longer runs, but I'm happy to say that with these shoes, a medium between supportive and light-weight was found. The only complaint I could have about these shoes is standard-- they are already becoming a bit ragged and worn around the edges.

They were a little snug but better once I wore them for 2 days. I love them and order another pair of them.

I have been looking for my replacement to the Nimbus 18 for a while. I tried another type of ASIC and it fell short. I didn't like the feel of the Nimbus 19 and was hesitant to buy the 20. I finally ordered the 20s and love them! They are not as foamy as the 18s, but just as comfortable in your run! They were comfortable on the very first run and a few weeks later, I'm still in love!

I love the Nimbus line. I have tried so many other shoes (including different Asic models) and come back to it every time. If you have a higher arch, this is the shoe for you. I do have to go a half size bigger; I usually wear a 10, I order this in a 10.5. The toe box is not tight, there is plenty of room for my wide foot. I also love the colors of this one!

Asics 2A shoes have always been my go-to running shoes... I noticed last year that same styles were being cut differently, resulting in being too short. I finally ordered a pair 1/2 size larger, and they fit perfectly! now if I can get over the idea of wearing size 11.5 shoes...!

I was aprehensive about ordering shoes on-line because I have foot problems. I was so pleased because the shoes arrived early and the fit was exactly what I'd hoped for.
