 My favorite running shoe December 7, 2009
Patrick ONeil
I was a NCAA d1 college cross country and track runner and the Asics Gel Nimbus is my favorite shoe. Great cushion to prevent injury over many many miles of running on all types of surfaces. Superb fit compared to most other brands. I have run in Nikes (Pegasus, Triax) and Adidas (Supernovas) and other Asics (Kayano, Cumulus, 2-series (e.g.2140), 1-series (e.g.1080, 1120)) and the Gel Nimbus is by far my favorite shoe. However, it is more of a "cushion" shoe than a "stability" shoe, so if you have a poor footstrike (if you supinate or pronate) you may want to look for a shoe with more stability or footstrike control.
 Disappointed August 21, 2009

I wore these only three times and the heel tore. I hadn't even run in them yet. I went for a few 4 mile walks, just to break them in before running with them. The heel broke on the outside of the sneaker underneath the "gel bubble", in between where the white part of the heel meets the black part of the sole. These white and black parts are separate, unlike some other sneakers where the entire sole is all one piece; the two parts are only held together by some glue.
These seemed like they would be a nice, lightweight upgrade from my old running shoes too. For $80 I would have liked something sturdy enough to handle WALKING 12 miles. A further inspection of the shoe made me see that the "lightweight material" is just code for "cheap and flimsy". Although the sneaker is still functional, I'll have to replace the pair in the next couple of months.
Expected much better from Asics.
Amazing Shoe! February 19, 2009

Once again I now understand why this shoe is a must for avid runners. The overall weight (compared to 993's), cushion (compared o Nike's), and the style offers the complete package for the recreational runner. My normal run time of 6-7 minute miles are easily accomplished wearing the Nimbus 9. The product that I purchased between the 8 and 9 were the Asic 2130, not even close. Once again the saying "you pay for what you get" rings true!
 Gel Nimbus review February 9, 2009

Very good shoes. Just a touch stiffer than I would prefer, but that may mean that I prefer inappropriate shoes. great cushion.

These are great shoes. I am a 45 year old male in moderate to good health and these shoes helped me train for and compete in a half iron-man. I typically am a back of the pack finisher, but my goal is to have a better finish in this year's triathlon.
The shoes provide great support, are light, and have performed well even in rainy weather.
