Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

Love running in a shoe with so much cushion. After running in a Nike shoe for about a year I've returned to Asics. Sorry Nike my feet love Asics.

This is my second pair of Gel-Nimbus and they are my go to shoe. They have great support and padding, comfortable for running, gym workouts and everyday use. The quality is much better than other comparable athletic shoes.

Shoe was very stiff and uncomfortable.

These are the most comfortable athletic shoes that I have ever bought.

I'm a Nimbus lover for about five years now. The 18 is awesome, as expected, I just wish sometimes there were better color combinations. Worth every penny, though, even better when discounted! Tidbit: Nimbus runners can be a little cult-ish. Other wearers have commented on my shoes in restaurants, etc.

Definitely my favorite. I got a D width to make sure I had a big enough toe box and ordered one size up and they fit perfectly...like walking on a cloud!!!

The only shoe I can wear. Just not like the "17" style.

Gel-Nimbus is my favorite running shoe. Great cushion, high arch feels like walking on a cloud. I get the new version every year when mine wears out. Been waiting for this awesome design to go on sale.

Finally found a great shoe again that doesn't look obnoxious! I used to easily find go-to walk/jogging shoes. New Balance, Asics, Saucony, done. I also never had to size up. Then all of a sudden, sneakers in stores were hideous, colors got out of control. Then functionally they all became socks or parkour shoes or shoes for spinning. I want cushiony, bouncy shoes for pavement that don't look hideous. I've bought and returned more than five pair of shoes in the past three months because I've given up on finding them in a store, and I've finally found the sweet spot. I DID have to size up on this shoe, and it fits perfectly. Just the right cushion, a nice ankle that grabs your heel so you don't slide around and get blisters - and gives you some support. I don't need a high top but these low cut spinning shoes are worthless for ankle support. I've read some reviews that these aren't as comfortable as their predecessors, but for me they were light years more comfortable than anything I've tried on in a year. I will say that they actually got MORE comfortable the longer I walked around in them. They molded to my feet. Give them a chance before you return them and see. I'm so tempted to buy 10 of these because so many brands finally have a great thing and then discontinue it. This one is a winner - finally.

Love this shoe! It has lots of cushion around the ankle. It is my second pair of gel-nimbus and they cannot be beat.

Love these Asics Nimbus shoes for running! They never disappoint!

This is my fourth pair of Gel-Nimbus. I've tried other Asics styles but always come back to Gel-Nimbus. I have narrow feet and Asics is one of the few sneakers I can find in narrow widths. Shoes are comfortable and stylish. Highly recommend. And Zappos - they are the best. I had a problem with a different style of Asics a while back and Zappos fixed me right up. I rarely shop anywhere else for shoes!

I've been running is the Nimbus since the 15's and this is my second pair of 18's. I love them and so do my feet. I would however recommend ordering a half size up. I normally wear an 8 but the 8.5 felt like a better fit for my normal width feet.

Best pair of Gel-Nimbus I have ever owned. They were comfy as soon as I put them on. Very durable--I wear them 14+ hours daily.

I usually wear a 7/7.5, but for these I got an 8 because a friend said they run about a half size smaller. They're so comfortable and it feels like walking on clouds. They don't provide enough arch support for my flat feet and I am a bit worried that my new insoles won't fit in them, but I haven't gotten any pains walking in them so far (haven't tried out a run yet). Overall, a beautiful shoe!

great comfortable shoes! In my opinion, Asics tend to run narrow and small. For example, in a reebok shoes I wear an 11 regular.... in Asics shoes I wear a 12 wide.

I always love my Asics--I just feel like these really make my size 10 feet look three sizes bigger. They are so comfortable, so I am working to overlook the bulkiness...

I have a pair of these from last year and so was just looking to replace them. I tried many other Adidas, including the newer Gel-Nimbus-19 (it's like a completely different, utterly redesigned shoe!) I found them all to be too narrow in the toe box. I even tried a wide width to no avail. I ended up keeping these is a crazy color that still had my size. I did size up a half size but these are just SO incredibly comfortable that there was no comparison. Roomy toe box, good arch support, well-cushioned heel back area – no need to "break them in" these shoes are ready out of the box!

So excited to find these back in stock and so I quickly purchased them! These are the most comfortable running shoes ever and I can't wait for them to show up. They are like running on clouds and look stunning with all the bright colors and pattern. I have the NYC ones and get asked all the time where I got them and I proudly say, Zappos!!!! If you're on the fence about the Gel-Nimbus, buy them because you won't be sorry.

My earlier two pairs of Gel Nimbus 17 finally wore out, and I was very disappointed that I could not find them again. However when I found these, the gel Nimbus 18, they are just as good or better! Absolutely love them, bought two pair

I did not buy these from Zappos. I bought them at a running shoe store where they were recommended to me because of the way I walk. Normally I have to wear orthotics, but I don't with these! They are super comfortable. I tell people it feels like I'm walking on clouds. Usually with running shoes I notice this effect goes away after they're worn in, but I've had these for about 6 months now and they are still as comfortable as ever! I have wide feet and they fit very well. My only wish was that they came in more neutral colors instead of these really bright ones.

Comfortable and stylish! These shoes did not disappoint!

Love these shoes. Second pair! Comfortable and fun.

These are a little bright. I like them but I got the thumbs down from the family. I wear athletic shoes almost all the time for support so I need them to go with multiple outfits. The heels feel a little too squishy too.
