Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 18

I normally would buy a wide shoe, but his one fits perfectly. Generously sized toe box. Pure comfort for walking. My only request from ASICS is that they would repeat some of their previous, more adventurous color combos.

I've been wearing the nimbus line for 9 years after I was diagnosed with plantars faciitis and have never been disappointed. I have prescription orthotics and they work great with them and provide excellent arch support for my flat feet. I'm very active in the gym so I use them for cross training, running, cardio machines, HITT training and step classes. My only complaint this time is I didn't get my first preference for color due to my size being out of stock.

Wonderful shoe good cushion I walk and run and they felt good the first time out.

Don't usually write reviews, but my experience with ZAPPOS was so exceptional that I wanted to share with others. I have injured both knees and doctor advised to wear shoes that will support and relieve pressure on the joints. These gel nimbus 18 Asics do the job. The fit and support more than met the requirements. Also purchased 2 pairs of skechers on the go and a pair of cloudsteppers by clark. All shoes were of highest quality I will be buying from ZAPPOS again. Try ZAPPOS and enjoy high quality products and superior customer service.

I have been wearing Asics Nimbus for many generations and still like this one better than any other shoe although I agree that it seems a little more narrow than previous incarnations. My foot is wide-ish so that was one reason I liked the Nimbus. Also, I am somewhat of a larger runner and feel this shoe provides great cushioning for me. I recommend it.

Ordered these because I was having knee pain when running and I'm never going back to anything else. Perfect shoe for a neutral running who needs the shock absorption this shoes provides. Feels like your foot is sinking into memory foam!

I usually wear a size 12 in athletic shoes, however this shoe felt too short. I ordered 1/2 size larger, thank goodness it was in stock. I plan to use this shoe for walking. They are very comfortable

My new favorite running shoes...these feel like I'm running on a cloud. I run about 30 miles per week and these shoes have held up beautifully. Unlike other running shoes I've used, the insole that comes in these is a good enough quality to use, rather than the usual replacements I've had to purchase with other brands. As with all running shoes, it is recommended to size up a half to full size. I normally wear a size 6 1/2 - 7 shoe and I use these in size 7 1/2. I highly recommend these.

I have plantar fasciitis and have found the gel nimbus to be a supportive shoe. Good arch support!

Have finally found a sneaker with a lot of cushion to it. I am on my feet for 6 or more hours a day in a workplace with cement floors. These are the most comfortable shoes I have found. I was wearing Brooks but these are working better for me although the Brooks feel more stable.

This shoe is very comfortable due to the gel made inside the shoe. The toe box is wide. I bought a half size larger to place custom orthotics in my shoe for intense workouts to alleviate bruised toenails from my toe hitting the top of the shoe. I switched over to this brand from New Balance. I plan to buy another pair soon. I highly recommend this shoe.

I've been wearing the Keyanos for the last year & was amazed by how much more comfortable the Nimbus are! They feel like memory foam insoles, very nice! When I first put them on, the heel cushion and tongue of the shoe felt a little bulky, but after wearing them for awhile, I barely noticed. I'm a nurse & on my feet for long periods of time & would highly recommend these shoes!

These sneakers are great. I order the same ones every time they wear out and I love them. The colors are fun also!

The Gel Nimbus is the only shoe that I can wear to run in. It is super comfortable and helps with my over pronation. You literally feel like you are running on cushions (in a good way, of course!) Asics tend to run small, so I always purchase a 1/2 size up. I am in love with the turq/iris color of these shoes too! They make me happy. I should also mention that the purple striping has a little bit of purple shimmer in it. You can't see that on the computer screen. :)

I've worn the basics Nimbus for running for several years now. I have a high arch, so I put an insert with a firm arch support in, and I'm good to go. These fit true to size and are very comfortable.

I wore these shoes today for the 1st time & I can't say enough about them. I run about 3-6 miles 4-5 times a week on blacktop & concrete (I just started running last June so I'm working my way up). I have been having lots of trouble with blisters, sore knees and bruised heels (I run hard on my heels) but today was like running on a cloud! I was so excited that I finally found a good shoe for me. I've used other Asics & Nike & none of them have felt like today! I will be ordering more of these (especially from Zappos cause you can't beat the super fast delivery!!!)

Asics Nimbus lower than 19 are excellent. Best shoe I have for comfort and wearabiliy. Asics Nimbus 19 are stiffer, narrower and not nearly as comfortable. OK by me because the later series are generally cheaper.

Very comfortable and help support the arch of my foot where it hurts while doing a cardio workout.

Great cushion and support for my funky running style with the foot strike on the outside of my foot. I was wearing the cumulus before and I find these to much more comfortable.

I was looking for a comfortable pair of shoes to help alleviate my plantar fasciitis. I found them! Wearing these is like walking on a cloud. They are true to size and a little wider than the high stability Asics I tried and returned.

I used to always run in the cumulus Asics but decided to try something new. I'm glad I did because I think these are bouncier and a little more comfortable for distance running. I bought the ones with the vintage comic book design and they are super cute!! I definitely recommend these!

Amazing shoe! I used to wear the old 2100 Series and loved it! After they changed it I found the Nimbus which is the most similar I've found. Great support! Feels like running on clouds. Buy a half size bigger than you might normally.

Another great pair of shoes. I only wear ASICS. They are the best

This is my 2nd pair of Gel- Nimbus 18's. They are highly recommended for plantar fasciitis and I can tell why. They provide great support and cushioning. I love these shoes! Zappos shipping and customer service are better than anyone else's!

It has been a while since I have bought good shoes for walking and running. I am running a 5K in July, so thought it was time. I have Achilles Tendinitis and am very particular about the shoe I wear. These were very comfortable and help with the pain I was feeling previous when walking and running. Highly recommend.
