Shoes are very comfortable. They give me maxium support. My feet don't hurt as bad.

I really like these shoes but I have really narrow feet. It may be helpful to mention that the shoe is a bit wide for other narrow feet buyers.

I like these shoes except the soles are now made out of soft foam and don't last long

This is my 2nd pair of this model. I've been wearing this style of Asics for over 10 years and can't fine any other brand or style that support my feet, knees and body as well.

The cushioning is much better in my old ones that are five years old. I still use them for gardening & love them, but no tread left for running. The tread is also much softer & wears much faster.

Great running shoe. Runs a bit small. Had to order a 1/2 size up and them was almost too big and have to have them tied just right.

I love my shoes. I only gave 4 stares because the fit is off for the 21.

Feels A bit less supportive than previous styles of this particular shoe. In general though it's a great model!

I wear them everyday. I have had horrible plantar fasciitis for the past 6+ years so I always need really good shoes. I've bought these shoes before in a different color. They're good, hard support which is what plantar fasciitis needs. I have noticed that if the shoe isn't tied super tight, my plantar fasciitis flares up but for the most part, the shoe gives me and my feet the support I need on a daily basis!! (Also I typically walk about 6-10 miles a day and these shoes last me a couple months).

I love these for running on the road/sidewalk. They take a few days to break in but offer plenty of stability for over-pronation & firm, comfortable cushioning. If they were lighter & more breatheable I'd give them 5 stars.

The shoes are supportive, but I sometimes the back of the shoe makes my Achilles' tendon sore. I love the reflective fabric on the back of the heel and the soles have excellent traction.

I bought these shoes hoping to have a higher heel lift than they have, but I have supplemented them with an insert. I have Achilles tendonitis and a higher heel relieves the discomfort.

Fantastic running shoes with all the right supports. My only complaint is the tightness for those of us with wide feet. I tend to lose a little circulation, but I trust this will get better in time. Great looking shoe, too!

For some reason, I preferred the nimbus 20. All around that shoe was comfy from outer cover to sole. The new nimbus needs a bit more breaking in.

They are a perfect fit...I have a high arch! Love Asics! Only complaint so far, they are a little heavy.

Seems to be helping me not get the shin splints but it does rub blisters on my Achilles. Overall I would recommend if you are having shin splints and that is the main concern. I'm hoping after a few more runs I can break them in and the blisters stop.

I love Ascics but their medium width is more like a regular width. Wish I'd ordered wide width

These are very cushioned. I wanted them specifically because they were recommended for plantar fasciitis. They are extremely cushioned but I've found a chunky heel with a rocker bottom style has made all the difference. These were good, but did not take the pressure off my heel fully.

I bought one pair of shoes and they started to fall apart on the right foot, so I bought another pair and the same thing is happing, on the same foot, same place. I have notified customer service, so we will see.

They were recommended by a friend. I found they ran small. I bought an 8 but second time around 8.5 I'm very happy with the sneakers. I changed brands!
