Finally! 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.

Best shoes ever. I am a heavy runner on pavement and I get about three to four months use before the support/cushioning deteriorates.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 I’ve only run one five miler so far. Up around the ankle seem a little loose.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 it’s 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.

A great shoe. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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 $$$.

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.

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.
