  • Excellent quality, very comfortable
This is my 4th pair of Asics shoes and these are by far my favorite. The gel cushioned sole is soft but also supportive. You can feel the cushioning with every step! I was hesitant to buy them at first, because of the cost, but they're definitely worth it. They have excellent arch support and ankle support. And, most important for me, is the great shock absorption when I'm walking/running. The cushion helps to minimize stress to my knees, hips, and lower back. The fabric is stretchy and made from breathable fabric. Very stylish. Sometimes, I wear "W" (wide) shoes, but these are standard width and fit perfect! ... show more

  • Good product
Works really well. Good comfort while running or walking 5k. It recovers quickly so it can be used the next day. Does help alleviate aggressive sciatica and knee pains with excellent cushioning.

  • The most comfortable shoes I have ever worn in my life!
Size: 9 Color: Stillwater/Cream
I love these so much they are my standard against what I measure every other shoe now. They are like walking on gently bouncing clouds with every step. About me & foot conditions: I’m a 5’4” woman and I’m not a skinny gal at all, and I hold most of my weight in my hips and thighs. I have wide feet, fallen arches/flat feet, and my big toe turns inward in a hallux valgus/bunions way. Where you land on your foot when walking or running: I’m a heel striker when walking and forefoot/midfoot when I’m going downstairs. I don’t feel a bit of impact either way. Toebox: roomy vertical and horizontal so toes can spread and wiggle. Cushioning: Fluffy foamy goodness! But it doesn’t make the shoes feel heavy. The midfoot cushioning is a teensy bit less than the heel. It’s also what gives you the energy return; a nice little rebound with each step nothing crazy but it sure feels good. The heel cushioning is around 40mm and that is a marshmallowy thing of beauty. You do not feel impact on your bones and muscles when moving. Heel drop is 8mm and feels great to me. Cost: I haven’t bought sneakers or athletic shoes in over a decade and apparently more squishy, comfortable support, the higher the price may run. So it may seem like a lot, it feels like the new normal. Arch support: lovely for flat feet and or small arches. It says it’s good for higher arches but they weren’t too high for me. They hug your ankle and provide stability but it’s not over done. Just enough keep you going Quality: I’ve had them for a few weeks now and they haven’t gotten dirty and held up well. It’s my first pair of ASICS but it certainly won’t be my last. If they fall apart on me I’ll update. ... show more

  • Max comfort athletic shoe, I never want to take off
The Nimbus is my absolute go-to athletic shoe. Over the years, I have rolled both ankles in sports, broke a heel, and torn ligaments in both knees, and back pain. I require a neutral running shoe with maximum cushioning and the Nimbus is the retreat my feet require. Cloud-like cushion for the day-to-day and plenty of bounce for walking and running. I always buy a half size larger than my actual size to allow for socks or for days I need an insert. The toe box in this shoe is for premium comfort--allows my toes to spread and land properly without rubbing. The tongue is sewn in place, so it never moves or wads up. Pulling the shoe on is so easy due to the max comfort sock-like rear pull. All of these options make this shoe so easy and comfortable to pull on. The flat laces stay in place and do not roll up or cause pain points. The Nimbus is the very best. I'll admit, I look forward to putting them on in the morning because they are clouds for my feet. And I look forward to keeping them on all day. It's the only shoe I can wear all day without pain. The only other brand/model I trust for my needs, would be the Brooks Ghost, but that's only if I must pick a second choice. ... show more

  • a great shoe, but i would size down.
Size: 7 Wide Color: Black/Lake Grey
I’ve had three knee surgeries in the last year and a half, so i have been on the look out for a pair of shoes that provide enough cushion for my walks ( provides the shock absorption ) and provides stability. This was one of the shoes i was very pleased with they have just the right amount of cushion and stability. The fit was a little loose for me and so didnt work out, but would definitely try and size down. ... show more

  • Worth the money
I purchased these after being diagnosed with bone spurs under my big toe & in my heel. This definitely relieved the pain I felt when I walked. They fit perfectly. While they are not the prettiest pair of shoes, it gets the job done. Very pleased with these shoes.

  • I Accidentally Became a Running Shoe Scientist
I am normally a size 8, and I have not bought new tennis shoes in about five years, which explains why my current pair (Saucony Ride 13s) are basically emotional support animals at this point. They’ve been with me through errands, chaos, and my very convincing “I’ll work out tomorrow” era. But now I’m officially doing more walking, running-ish attempts, treadmill sessions, AND I just acquired a new job where I’ll be standing on my feet all day, so it was time to enter the Running Shoes Thunderdome. After doing my first round of research on a very trustworthy source—aka TikTok, I found a runner giving shoe advice, who said with full confidence, that you must size up a full size on your running shoes because your feet will swell. So naturally, I listened to her because she looks like she owns electrolytes. I ordered a size 9. These Gel Nimbus: Easily the most comfortable of the five pairs I ordered. They’re like walking on warm mashed potatoes. Soft, cushy, forgiving, zero arch poking me like a judgmental Pilates instructor. The other shoes I tried and immediately sent back to their creators were: • Hoka Clifton 10 (my feet said “ma’am, why?”) • Saucony Guide 18 (firm like my mother’s opinions) • Brooks Glycerin Max (had feelings about my arch) • New Balance 1080 (also had feelings about my arch) This whole process taught me a valuable truth: I prefer a neutral shoe with no arch drama. If the shoe tries to “correct” me, guide me, or offer unsolicited arch support? Absolutely not. Now, about sizing: The size 9 Nimbus don’t feel too big at all… but they do look like I borrowed my husband’s shoes. So I ordered the 8.5 too, because at this point I’m performing a full PhD dissertation on cushioning versus toe room. In the photos, you can see the size 9 Nimbus on one foot and my ancient Saucony Ride 13s (size 8) on the other foot. One foot is ready for a marathon, the other is ready for a Target run. And because I’m going all-in on this foot-comfort journey, I also ordered Feetures Elite Ultra-Light Cushion ankle socks. (Which I have on in the attached pictures.) If we’re committing to luxury, I refuse to let a crusty old sock ruin the experience. For Round Two of the Tournament, I’ve also ordered: • Brooks Ghost Max 3 • Hoka Bondi 9 • Saucony Triumph 22 • Nike Vomero Plus (loved the Vomero 18s in store) • On Cloudrunner 2 I will report back with my findings once my living room becomes a certified Running Shoe Testing Lab. But for now: Gel Nimbus is the reigning champion of Comfortland. If you love soft shoes, hate intrusive arch support, and want something that can handle walking, jogging, treadmill-ing, and existing—these might be your soulmate. *************** Update 12/2/25 **** One pair from round 2 came in yesterday that made me change my mind about the asics… the asics have moved to second place against the Brooks Ghost max 3. IN LOVE!!! (Keep reading… this change of opinion was short lived.) Today the saucony triumph 22s came in, which I ordered a 7.5 due to a review saying to size DOWN in those, HOWEVER I wish I would have only sized “down” to my actual size of a size 8. The 7.5 fit, but an 8 would have been better. However, I will not be repurchasing them in an 8 to experiment because I already know I don’t like them as much as the brooks ghost max 3 (shown in last pictures with asics and by themselves. Ordered in coconut, size 9- as a true size 8, the size 9 in the brooks ghost max 3 is perfection.) ***update 12/4/25 I spoke too soon about the Books taking first place. I was excited. They were cute. Cuter than the asics for sure. But after wearing them for a few hours, I did start to become aware of the inner arch support. They aren’t as comfy as the asics. Better looking, yes. And if you’re looking for a shoe that’s a little springier with a light arch support, the Brooks ghost max might be for you. Still very comfy, but apparently the mid foot structure help isn’t needed for my feet because it becomes uncomfortable after a while. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but with the asics it has been nothing but comfort. The other shoes in my testing experiment arrived as well. I did get the asics in an 8.5, which I do like better than the 9. So if you’re going to size up, I’d recommend only a half size. Compared against the Nike vomero plus- the Nikes are more stylish/better looking. Bouncier, also very comfortable, more responsive, and a very good competition. I had to put a Nike on one foot and ASICS on the other and walk around to really decide. As far as comfort- asics won again. Compared to the On Cloudrunner 2- not a competition. ASICS is more comfortable hands down. But the cloudrunners were super cute. Compared to the Hoka Bondi 9- again no comparison. The Bondis hurt my ankle bones almost immediately. Instant reject. These ASICS beat out every other shoe I tried in my experiment to find the best for me. Hope this helps. ... show more

  • Comfy but be aware - very different in person
Super soft and cushiony, nice wide toe box, comfortable as can be. They don’t have the side to side stability in the base that some shoes have so they aren’t the best if you are older and heavy like me where you’ve had lots of athletic injuries and even get a little lightheaded sometimes and you want that stability for knees, ankles, etc. However, if you are just going by pure comfort under the foot, from back to front, these can’t be beat. I’ve been walking along different surfaces in the house, carpet, hardwood, slippery steps, thresholds, tile, because I don’t wanna take them outside yet until I’m adjusted to them. I think they’ll be my new every day all day shoes when I’m inside the house but for the outside, I might want more side to side stability that comes from a slightly wider base at the bottom, such as I get with some Brooks models. The particular motion of this shoe is more of a front to back motion and the thick heel might help you move forward a little bit but not protect you from falling off the narrowness of your foot, sideways, if that makes sense. The reason I only gave them three stars might seem strange when I love them and that’s because I really bought these particular ones for the colors of orange and pink, I was surprised and very disappointed to see that they’re just white with a little bit of pale pink, and the orange is so pale it is not visible at all. The photos are extremely misleading. I don’t know if I got a pair that just wasn’t colored properly, but I would never have bought these for their coloration if I had seen them in the store. Again, these are the white ones with the pink and orange and they just don’t have that look in person that they do online. Super disappointed in that because orange is a color that makes me happy and pink makes me feel Upbeat and girly and these are just white shoes with a very pale tiny bit of pink on them. So they don’t have the same emotional impact that I had wanted or anything like the feeling that I got from the photo. If I had known that these would be just white with a tiny bit of pale pink I would’ve gone with a different coloration. As far as size goes, I’m a true eight and sometimes even wear a 7 1/2 but I got these in an 8 1/2 and I’m very glad I did, I believe that it’s best to size up half a size with running shoes, but these don’t feel like half a size too big at all, they feel perfect. But when you buy a shoe for the way it looks and it doesn’t look at all like it’s supposed to, That’s not a good thing. EDIT: I can’t blame Amazon for the color problems, when I went to take a picture for you of my shoe, my on screen picture showed bright orange and pink, and they were very cute in my photo, but that’s not at all the way they look online in real life, I wonder if it’s artificial screens that are altering the colors! I don’t know what it is, but I can tell you that the photo that I took and the onscreen photo match, but they look nothing in the photo or online like they do in person. Weird how these particular two colors translate as brighter and prettier on screens! ... show more
