ASICS has finally corrected the toe box on the Gel-Nimbus. I had to buy a size up for the last 3 pairs and I’ve never needed to do that with other shoes.
The Nimbus 22 fit very well in the toe-I saw this on reviews and was able to go back back down to my correct size.

I have very high arches and, historically, Asics has always provided me the support I need. I love the fit (length/width) and the super fun colors these shoes provide and, as supinator, i love the balance support. But they provide me none of the arch support I’ve come to expect of Asics shoes. I’ve needed to input arch supports, which then affect the fit of the shoe, so I’m a little disappointed.

I really wanted to like these shoes, but they just didn’t work out for me. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal and they were still too small and narrow. I would have needed to add my own inserts because there was minimal arch support with the ones that came with the shoes. They also didn’t feel very soft or well cushioned.

I’ve had these shoes for almost 4 months. They are cute and comfortable but the material does not hold up well. I wouldn’t recommend.

Great product so far that has so much cushion for running on city streets.

Fit and size were good. I like the support it provides, helpful in my plantar fascitis.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis for over 2+ years and was unable to walk without pain. This is the ONLY shoe that gave me relief. I am walking again! Highly recommend!

These shoes are just perfect!! I never believe that some shoes were good for Plantar fasciitis, but now that this is happening to me I was desperate to find the best shoe to help me relieve my pain. I try Nike, Adidas, etc and so far this is the shoe that helps me the best with my Plantar fasciitis..

ASICS are my brand! This must be my 10th pair. I walk about 25 miles a week and these are my comfy walking shoes. I am usually an 8 in a regular shoes but I wear a 91/2 in ASICS. Sounds strange but it’s true. I have always heard that you should go up a size or so when buying a walking shoe. I guess it’s true. They are also very stylish. I get lots of compliments. I also own these in the army green so I can trade off.

They're great! Normally
I wear a Different brand of shoes for running and my shins start hurting if I run too far. I got these because of my high arch and have been running daily and have no pain!

I’ve worn Asics Cumulus for years but I read on the Asics website that the Nimbus were good for neutral runners that wanted cushioning. I’m so glad I made the switch. These shoes felt perfect right out of the box. They have just the right amount of stability, support and cushioning that I feel comfortable running on pavement and trails. I can highly recommend them

Have worn ASICS for a number of years, recently purchased a pair of Gel-Cumulus instead of the Nimbus and I was a bit disappointed....so when this new pair arrived I was so happy to have that cushy, supportive yet stylish shoe I’d grown to love! Wore them around the house and no “break-in” was needed, will wear them tomorrow for my walk.

I always buy an 8.5 instead of an 8, the size I usually wear. The gel nimbus gives me the support and stability I need a fitness instructor. I have narrow feet and they work well for me.

Yessss!! I’ve been an ASICS Nimbus wearer for 20 years and these might be the best version to date! I usually get the previous year’s model on sale but the reviews were so good for these I splurged. Lots of cushion, perfect amount of room in toe box, fit like a glove out of the box! A small amount of break-in required, like with most shoes, but my feet weren’t numb after the first run like normal. I wear a half size up from my street shoe and these were a perfect fit. 4 stars for style because I’m not crazy about the color options. Going to stock up when these go on sale!

This is my first pair of ASICS, and the size and fit is perfect and comfortable! I’m a size 6 (women) regular width. I’ve been a Nike loyalist for years, but after developing tight and painful arch and heel pain since returning to lite running on a more consistent basis, (I diagnosed myself with plantar fasciitis), I decided to do some online research to find the best running shoes with my suspected condition, and this pair frequently came up with excellent reviews! These ASICS provided great support for both my heel and high arch. After taking it for a spin for the first time, my feet did not feel as sore and/or achy from my 3-mile run. Although on the pricey side, I’m very happy so far with these sneakers! ASICS are typically not my style of shoe. I usually choose running shoes that are more streamlined. At first, they looked clunky on my feet, making my feet look big (that is why I gave it 3-stars for style); however, if you’re looking for comfort over style this is the pair for you. Thank you so much Zappos for your fast and speedy shipping! I’m a loyal Zappos customer, and I trusted that if I had any reservations about my purchase that I wouldn’t have any issues with returns. I purchased these online on a Wed afternoon and literally received them the next day before noon. No time for buyers remorse-LOL.

ASICS has been running small for quite some time. I have a slightly wide foot and wear a 5.5/6 in street shoes. I wear a 7 W I. ASICS. Nimbus is a bit heavy but provides great cushioning for my three - five mile runs.

FINALLY! Asics listened and fixed the issues with the previous versions of the Gel Nimbus. I have the 17 and for years had to switch to a different brand, because like other reviewers said those versions had major issues. However, these fit and feel exactly like my old pair, I love them. They arrived yesterday and I've already gone on a run and am wearing them all the time. I did have to order a half size up though, which is not a big deal.

I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis and these shoes were recommended as one of the best to help deal with that. I've now taken them for several long walks and I am so happy I invested in these. I plan to get back into more intensive workouts soon, and can tell these will keep my feet feeling good. They are very supportive and feel great on my foot. I feel like they also help my posture somehow because they keep my foot in the correct position and I'm not trying to compensate for any sort of foot pain by shifting my body weight around.

Everything awesome about this shoe. Just a little to powerful on the pink for me ... loved the gray and light pink of the Nimbus 20. The Watershed Rose/Rose Gold is a better color this time around.
