I have worn a version of this running shoe for over 5 years and love them. Like that you can order width as well.

I have worn asics gel kayanos for years and years for running... but I just can't pay the exorbitant price for kayanos anymore so I have switched to gel nimbus and they are just as good if not better than the gel kayanos at less money! Gel nimbus fits well and gives me the same padding and support I got use to with the gel kayanos! Thank you!

Very comfortable shoe. I did order a half size larger than I regularly wear in Asics. Color is pretty and fun.

These are the shoes I buy over and over again ~ every 6 months. I do a lot of walking and want to be sure that I have enough cushion. The old pair become my garden shoes. The color was not my favorite, as I wanted one that was the GEL-Nimbus 19, but the newest model costs about $60 more, so last year's model works fine for me. Next time the 19 will be less expensive and I will buy them. I wear orthotics and they fit perfectly in these shoes. Also, thanks Zappos for ALWAYS getting these to me THE NEXT DAY!

I have narrow feet. The owner of a local shoe store specializes in recommendations and special ordering athletic shoes for the local high school kids or teams. He does the same for the community college athletic teams. So I went to him to to get the best recommendation for my narrow feet. After asking what I would be using them for he specially ordered in an asics nimbus in 2A width. I have worn this shoe ever since. I order a new pair every year for the last 8 yrs. I love them.

These are so comfortable. I faithfully wore the my Nimbus 16s until they had holes in them. I ordered these as a replacement and couldn't be happier. I wear them solely for working out (walking, aerobics, treadmill etc) and they are great. I also love that the color is not in your face obnoxious

Love these fun and hip Asics. I am usually a size 8.5 - 9 but Asics do run small and I ended up with a 9.5! They fit perfectly. The gel cushioning is terrific and lasts. I run 4 times a week and I've had my first pair for 7months now and they still have great cushioning. I love them so much I ordered another pair in the sale.

Best show I've bought in a while! My feet don't hurt after my 12 hour shifts. I was wearing the asics gel Kayano but they were leaving unable to walk after a 12. I have planatar fasciitis so wearing comfortable shoes is a must!

These shoes are wonderful. Very comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and these alleviates most of my pain. I typically only wear asics and these are even better than some of the others I have bought. Comfy toe box too.

If you need a shoe for a neutral step, this is it. I've been a runner for years, and this was my go to shoe. Now my seventh grade daughter is getting into running, so she tried them out. She tried on other shoes by Brooks, Nike, and a different style Asics. When she slipped on this shoe, she couldn't believe how well they fit. She is loving them. In my opinion, this is the perfect blend of support and cushion for the neutral stride.

As I get older, I find I need more support in my walking shoes, so I splurged and spent $120 on these Asics. The support is good, but I would prefer more muted color choices. I usually wear an 11D but it was not available in this shoe, so I purchased 10.5D. It fits well although I can feel my big toe at the very end of the shoe. It does not bother me, so I would say this shoe is true to size. Zappos is the best, btw. I have a military post office box, and not only do they ship to me for free, it still gets here very fast and returns are free, too. I love this company!

As always the Nimbus is very comfortable. Great for running and walking- has removable insert so I can wear my orthotics. I buy a new pair every year! Recommended to me by my orthopedic surgeon.

Asics does it again! I've run in Asics for over 10 years, and have never had a bad experience. I've always been a size 8, and was a little nervous reading some of the reviews saying to go up half-a-size, but I spoke to some fellow runners who said to go with my usual size, so I did, and they fit perfectly! As always, they were super comfortable to wear right out of the box, no break-in period required. These are definitely meant for running or walking, not for weight lifting or exercises that require a lot of lateral movements or quick pivots. I typically wear a slightly thinner sock with these, and they don't feel too tight. I also have some thicker socks that I've worn, and my only issue with those is they tend to get pushed up around my heel because of the "padding" inside the shoe, but it's not uncomfortable or too tight-feeling, just a little annoying feeling the bunch up around my heel. I got the titanium/white/turquoise color combo and it's nice and bright!

Love the colors and style. Was unsure about at first, felt the back of the ankle was think. Have come to like that and are very comfortable.

I've tried other brands of running shoes, but always come back to Asics Gel Nimbus. These are very comfortable and I can run for many miles. I do have to size up a full size.

ASICS Gel-Nimbus are my go-to shoes for impact activities...running, plyo workouts, HIIT training. I've tried many other shoes, but I keep coming back to these. They have the perfect amount of support and cushioning, and they have saved me from achilles tendonitis.
