Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 20

I usually wear a 9.5, but ordered a 10 as it recommended on the description since it ran a half size small. The size 10 fit perfect so I am happy it suggested half size bigger. I wear a B width and it felt comfortable. Haven't run/walk in them yet due to weather, but hopefully will try them out tomorrow.

Love these Nimbus 20! Was having back issues and leg problems... These took care of it all.... I walk almost daily and these are great. Do not hesitate to purchase.

Easy transition from my Nimbus 19's to these 20's. Very high quality IMHO. Side by side comparison seems very similar. EU 45 is my go-to size for either W/M. First few runs were a treadmill 5K and a few asphalt six milers. I love 'em as much as my 19's, two pair of Cumulus 15's, a pair Flux 3's and GT-2000-BR's. I also swap in a set of PowerStep Pinnacle insoles, so that helps make them all feel & run about the same. Gotta keep these out of the slush and pretty til spring (Michigan).

Comfortable and supportive. Light weight. I ordered the 7.5 wide and 8 wide. Went with the 7.5 wide. They feel great!

I have autoimmune arthritis in 4 toes, both knees and one hip. If it weren’t for the cushioning in these, I would not be able to workout 5 days a week like I do. Exercise is really important to me because I know my physical abilities could get worse. I am so thankful to be able to workout. That is the impact of these shoes in my life. No other sneaker is as comfortable to me as these. Unfortunately some years this style runs more narrow than others and this particular year was a narrower year. I have to buy the wide width but otherwise these are true to size. They are expensive but so worth it. I bought a pair for my mom and she couldn’t believe how comfortable they were.

Great running shoe

Recommend ordering up a half size. Asics seems to have "shrunk" their toe box a bit with this model.

I had worn Asics for years, then the sizing seemed all wrong. I decided to give these shoes a try at a half size larger and am thrilled with the fit and look. After buying one pair a few weeks ago, I ordered another to make sure I'll have a replacement if they are no longer sold.

As time goes on, my feet continue to grow. I've been a 10.5 in athletic shoes for awhile now and these fit as a 10.5 as well. For the first time ever, I purchased a wide shoe (D) with this as it felt better in the toe bed. The shoe works great and does not slip on the heal at all and is comfortable throughout. My feet feel very supported and the top half of the shoe is more firm/stiff/less flexible than a Nike, for example, which keeps the foot from over-flexing. I tried on a ton of different athletic shoes and brands this time around (thank you Zappos!) as I have been having more pain in my big toes from what seems to be arthritis, and found this the best for me and am very happy with my purchase. I got the one with pink accents and love it!

Comfortable - good for gym or walking. Nice roomy toe box. This is my second pair.

Unfortunately I have a very narrow foot. ASICS Kayano’s 25 toe box was too wide. This is second pair of Nimbus 20. They have worn well, fit my foot and I receive compliments on the color and style. I wish ASICS would make more color options in their narrow shoes.

Unlike other reviews who said size up a half size, I found this not to be the case. I ordered my 9.5 as usual and it fit perfect in fact I even had a little extra room in the toe box. Gel Nimbus is by far the best pair of running, walking, whatever shoes I have owned. I run on average about 35 miles a week and highly recommend these running shoes. Don’t wait, buy them!! You won’t regret it!!

I love these! I switched from Asics a few years ago because my size 11.5 N didn't fit well in the toes anymore. (I see that's a common complaint.) I tried ordering a 12 N but the toe area was much too large. I'm glad I gave them a try again. They feel just like my old Asics! I'm also thrilled with the indigo. Usually those of us with unusual shoe sizes don't have many color options.

I originally bought these in a size 9 and I have to admit, they felt okay. But if I wore a thicker sock they definitely felt snug. I decided to exchange them for a 9.5 and I’m so glad I did. They fit great and feel great. I have plantar fasciitis, bunions, and just general foot pain from 18 years of ballet and standing on my feet for makeup artist work for many years as well. I just started to start running, as I’ve been more of a “power walker” for a long time because of different ailments including sciatica (yes, dance and working on my feet did a number on me). These shoes are definitely going to be a positive addition to my work out routine. My feet feel supported and comfortable without the shoe feeling clunky or heavy, which is a huge bonus. They definitely make you feel like it’s easier to spring into a fast walk or run. I’ve worn Nikes and Saucony in the past, which were fine but all my runner friends and family have always pushed ASICS on me. I am so glad I listened this time. It’s my first pair of ASICS and definitely won’t be my last. And, I got them on sale! Thanks Zappos, you’re the best!

Recommended by my podiatrist to help with heel pain. They are named after a cloud for a reason.

I've been wearing Asics Gel shoes for years. I always order 1 size larger than I wear in a regular street shoe. Comfy. I am a walker and they hold up well. Not sure how they will hold up if you are a runner.

I have a wide foot, and bought the wide width, to replace last years model.... they fit better than last years model, even during my first run.... highly recommend

Fit was true to size and very comfortable. Walked 3 miles the first time worn and they did not hurt my bunion or need to be ‘broken in’. Absolutely thrilled with these shoes.

I love, love, love ASICS Gel Nimbus shoes! The #19 version was a little tight in the toe box. Maybe they were made in a different factory? These shoes, the #20 were perfect. Roomy toe box and snug heel.

Great for long distances!! Trust me I have been bouncing around from all brans and not one bran or shoe feels like "home" for my feet.

I just received this shoe today. I have been wearing Asics for years and have like them. I was so happy that these felt good the moment I put them on. They are a little stiff but I can tell they will loosen up as I wear them. I totally agree with everyone that they are a 1/2 size to small. I did order up from a 7 to 7 1/2. I never wear a 7 1/2 but glad I did it. Thanks to those that suggested it.

This shoe is recommended for people who have problems with their Achilles tendon because of the differential and they allowed me to continue running while my injury healed. Great shoe!

In regular shoes I'M a size 11 .....in sneakers 12
