A decent color combo in my favorite shoes - As an athlete with big feet, it has always been such a bummer to have to wear huge shoes that are always some combination of bright white and orange with a purple swoosh. Ya always look like Bozo coming down the street. At last I can enjoy the comfort and support of my favorite running shoes all day long because they finally come in colors that you want to put on and wear with street clothes, including black and silver. Excellent support, they accommodate orthotics nicely and feel great running or walking. They only last about three months and the price is ridiculous for such a fleeting comfort, but, if you have to have the best on your feet, this is it. 2008-01-29 10:17:09 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: from Manassas, VA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Best shoes ever. I am a heavy runner on pavement and I get about three to four months use before the support/cushioning deteriorates. 2008-01-19 06:14:07 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Dave from SC Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Waste of Money - I run approximately 30 miles/week. My last three pairs of shoes were NB 991, 992 and 992. I thought I might try these Asics, but I was disappointed. On the first runs I wore them on, my right foot went numb about 1 ½ miles into a 6 mile run, my left foot was fine, but not as comfortable as when I wore NB 992s. I thought they just might need to be broken in better. I continued to wear them for approximately six 6 mile runs. My right foot continued to go numb each time I got about 1 ½ miles into the run. It was the most annoying feeling ever; I simply could not have a good run with my right foot completely numb. I tried re-lacing the shoe over and over, looser, tighter, in-between...did not work. Thank goodness my wife bought me a new pair of NB 992s. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: New Balance 992 2008-01-08 07:41:02 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Lois from Haddonfield, N.J. Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Running shoe - I purchased these Asics for my 22 year old daughter, and now she is an Asics fan. She had previously worn Nike, and she now realizes that there is no comparison. They felt wonderful immediately, and she is impressed with the quality, comfort, and performance.

Perfect arch support and cushioning. 2007-12-22 05:52:48 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: from Iraq Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe - This is the second pair of Asics I've owned. This is a great shoe, very comfortable and looks even better than the picture showed. 2007-12-05 05:12:40 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from Buenos Aires, AR Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe - A Fantastic Shoe. I have worn nimbuses now for a few years, and I have been happy with all of them. I have now had two pairs of the 9's, and they have both been fantastic. I bought the first pair and ran a 15k in them fresh out of the box (which I know is dumb) but they felt like I had been wearing them for years. They feel true to size based on other asics (that is, as in most sneakers and other asics, I wear a size larger than my street shoes.) Anyway, I would highly recommend them. 2007-12-04 06:53:47 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Rfs from Laguna Niguel, California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Good treadmill shoe for me - I needed a new pair for the treadmill and I tried these on in a local store first then I bought them from Zappos. I replaced the inner sole with Superfeet. I'm ready for my morning torture on the treadmill now. 2007-10-30 17:12:10 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Billd from Connecticut Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Better Then the Version VIII's - I can't believe some people are saying buy ½ a size larger. This is the first pair in years that I should go back ½ a size. And they seem to fit very well. Did seem tight at first, but just had to lace up for my foot. Overall, a good shoe I think. No blisters as some people are saying. But Ive only run one five miler so far. Up around the ankle seem a little loose. 2007-10-25 11:59:24 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Awesome shoe. Great shoe. It seemed just a hair snug at first, but after an hour or two it really fit perfectly. Excellent arch support and cushioning. My favorite of the Asics line so far. 2007-10-24 07:46:14 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from NY, NY Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Not as good as last version - For some reason I keep getting blisters on this one, unlike my last Asics Nimbus...went out to buy much tighter fitting socks today, hopefully that will take care of it but never had this problem on my old pair. Also the gel cushioning feels less giving than the old. 2007-10-24 06:51:47 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from Chicago, Illinois Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support So far, so good but shouldn't it be that way for the price? I am a 6'3" 200lb runner with a size 14 foot. I suponate or underpronate when I run and was looking for a shoe that had max cushion and black hardened rubber on the outside of the forefoot to withstand the pounding. It's a good shoe, but not a great shoe for the money. I think the Asics Cumulus line is better because it holds up as well and feels more cushioned. 2007-10-20 01:00:19 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from San Francisco, CA area Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Mediocre - These shoes are not early as nice as the Adidas EQT series, which are more comfortable and less expensive. I will be sending these back under Zappos generous return policy. If you do want a pair, consider ordering the extra wide if you have a foot of average width. I ordered in the average width and if I wanted the shoes, I would reorder in the extra wide as the regular width is very tight. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Adidas EQT series (order 1 or 1.5 sizes larger than usual). 2007-10-17 14:05:47 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from Chicago, IL Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Awesome Shoes! Awesome Service!! I have been buying ASICS for my avid running boyfriend and he absolutely loves the feel of these running shoes. He is a size 14, runs seven miles a day and its so hard to find comfortable shoes and this is it! Although I would love for them to have more colors I am still very satisfied with them and the Zappos service. Best service I have ever had. Thanks Zappos.

I am not sure how and or why some reviewers say go a 1/2 size up. Do they mean ½ size from your street/dress shoe? DO NOT GO up a ½ size from your athletic/running shoes as they will be way too large. 2007-10-15 09:52:23 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Bpd173 from Biloxi, MS Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe! I'm a heavy runner and have a hard time controlling my breathing due to that. I ordered the Gel-Nimbus 9 after reading it was designed for runners that do not absorb shock naturally. These shoes are great. Granted they won't make you feel like an Olympic runner, but I can definitely tell a difference over any other brand that I have tried. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone needing a shoe with good support and shock absorbing. And just as promised Zappos got them to me next day, thanks!

I just ran my first marathon in these shoes and they felt amazing. This is my second pair. Very light weight and plenty of support! I highly recommend them! Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I only wear Asics! Can't go wrong at all! 2007-10-03 06:08:42 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Mike from Kansas City, KS Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoe - After years of just picking my shoes by what was on sale I finally decided to do some research and buy the correct shoes for my feet. It makes me sick to think that all these years of uncomfortable shoes could have been avoided. The Gel-Nimbus 9 shoes are extremely cushiony and the memory foam around the opening provides a snug secure fit without being too tight. My workouts are much more enjoyable. 2007-09-19 15:28:36 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from Jacksonville, NC Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great shoes - Order half size larger than your normal size. Great shoes to run in for long or short distances. Lightweight compared to the Nimbus VII. 2007-09-19 08:48:54 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great shoe! I find these shoes to be very easy on the knees after a good seven mile run. Thumbs up. 2007-09-04 07:29:40 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from California Overall: Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Buy 1/2 size larger than your regular shoe size - Excellent running shoe. Tremendous cushioning. I recommend buying 1/2 size larger than your normal shoe size to allow for a little room in front of your toes. 2007-08-23 08:41:17 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Pulpvcious from Alexandria, Virginia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfort that Goes the Distance - Excellent support and comfort for running the distance. I got these to replace my Mizuno Wave Rider 9's. These are much more comfortable and pain free than the Mizunos. I supinate a little bit and these shoes seem to make my landings where it should be. I like the design and color but I prefer the Orange pair of the Nimbus VIII's. Looks and feels like a well built running shoe. This is my 1st. pair of Asics and I hope I get a lot miles out of them compared to the Mizunos. One minor thing I wish it came with a slightly longer pair of laces. Other than that I still give this pair a 5 star rating. Definitely worth the $$$.

Their service is second to none. I love their no hassle return. The Asics shoes are the best. Both my grandchildren would wear nothing else. Thank you Zappos. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Uggs 2007-08-20 14:20:33 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Anonymous from Florence, Alabama Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Asics Gel Nimbus 9 - This is a wonderful shoe. It broke in quick and is very cushioning. It has great arch support as well. The only problem I have had is as you walk or run it will get tighter around the midfoot and looser towards your ankle. A little irritating but otherwise a great shoe. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Other Asics, Adidas 2007-08-17 14:23:47 ASICS Gel-Nimbus® 9 Reviewer: Kevin from Madison, WI Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Amazing shoes - First of all, they came in about 1 day and right out of the box they fit great. A really cool thing about them is that as you walk, you can feel cool air at the top of your foot coming through the mesh of the shoe. This keeps your feet from getting too hot. The cushioning is amazing as well and they are extremely lightweight. Overall, these shoes are well worth your money for running, walking, or just regular lifestyle.
