Such a massive improvement over the Nimbus 13! The toe box is wider and roomier, plenty of room for orthotics, and super light! I've been through the progression of Nimbus models over the past 3 years, run 2 marathons and 8 half marathons, and these are the best. The 13s were so tight in the toes, they almost felt too short, but the 14s got it right! Happy running!

Best athletic brand ever! I only wear Asics and this Gel-Nimbus does not disappoint. I suffer from Plantar fasciitis and lower back pain, these are the only shoes I can wear that don't aggravate either. Plus, when running, feels like your running on a cloud.

These are nice shoes. I love the colors-blue/purple. But they are too soft to run. I decide to walk in them before I run. So I just power walked six miles and my feet hurt! I try to break them in by walking, the shoes have poor stability. I will go back to my favorite brand Brooks are the best! I can run more than 10 miles in my brooks.

These are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever had! I went into a specialty running shoes store, and they recommended the Asics Fortitude, which I bought. I felt like I was running with lead weights tied to my feet! I didn't want to spend even more on shoes, but I knew I couldn't run in those. After doing some research and reading reviews, I ordered the Asics Gel Nimbus 14. I'm so glad I did, and they are well worth the money. They are so comfortable! I feel like I'm running with little pillows in my shoes and they are much lighter than the other shoes. Right now I have a little pain in the ball of my foot, and the gel cushioning really helps. The colors are great too. I really, really love these shoes!

These are a major improvement from the Nimbus 13. I have been running in Asics for the past dive years. The Nimbus 13 was horrible, the toe box was narrower than the 11 and the 12 (mind you I am a consistent size 8). I ran a half marathon in the 13 and ended up with toe blisters, I had no problem with the 12. Too bad as I have only had the 13 less than five months.

Having a flat foot has always made finding a stable running shoe very difficult. The Asics gel nimbus give me enough support and mold to my feet perfectly. I find Asics always reliable products from the sneaker to apparel, and the sneakers always run true to size.

These do not quite have the room or cushioning that I had with previous Nimbus 12. The toe box was snug. I had to return them as they rubbed my toes. This is the first time that I was disappointed with Asics shoes.

I have worn Asics for over 15 years. I ordered the Nimbus 13 wide and it was too narrow and I had to return it so I bought the 14 hoping it would be more like the previous styles...it is not, I ordered a wide and it is still narrow in the toe box. Alas, back they go!

Love these shoes. I don't pronate or supinate my foot and I have a decent arch (not flat footed). Been running in these for several years. My teenage daughters have run cross country and track and have tried several other brands of running shoes and even a couple of other styles of Asics. One kid is flat footed and is a pronator. The other one has a morton's neuroma. They both came back to this shoe and have stuck to it. Some of you might want to look at purchasing the Powestep Protech full length orthotic support (which one of the family members got through a podiatrist for her foot issues) and then I purchased them for a couple of other family members via Amazon which was significantly cheaper and you don't need a prescription. Both the kids and the spouse use them and find them very helpful for their foot issues. You can even get metatarsal pads and out them on your foot beds/orthotic support if you have a morton's neuroma. Make sure you get the shoes with enough room in the toe box so you don't bang your toes against the front of your shoe. I wear a size 9.5 in street shoes and wear a 10.5 in running shoes.

This is my 6th pair of Asics and I am very happy with this shoe! Love the color. The fit is true to size for my foot (I have a slightly narrow foot).

I have high arches and have become a Gel Nimbus fan over the last several years. I especially like #14 how it fits to my heel better and broke in only after a couple of good runs. The bright colors liven up any workout!

These are potentially the best running shoes I've ever owned. After doing a little research, I made the switch from Nike running shoes, and what a great decision that turned out to be. I'm a college student and am always running around and these shoes with their gel footbeds are so comfortable. I have high arches and these shoes do a great job of supporting them. I did order a half size up, like I do with most running shoes, and it worked out great!

These are the best running shoes I have ever worn! They have the most support and cushion of any shoe out there while still being lightweight. I highly recommend them.

Actually, for me, these are more comfortable than the Cumulus. They have more soft support, more gel support. I had these on today at a running shoe store. The reason I have not ordered these is because I have previous silver Nimbus shoes and these look too similar. The other two colors will not work for me. And also, I have been wearing Cumulus shoes the majority of the time so I am quite used to them. They are fantastic shoes, though. If you want a step up from the Cumulus, these are the ones. They are for the neutral feet. They fit true to size in every way.

These are super comfy, can really feel the gel cushioning on these shoes. Hot pink - Wow - I get a lot of compliments. Good light, supportive, hot shoe. Very cute. Nice wider toe box, fits my feet like a glove.

The Gel Nimbus is back! I had worn the 12s for months when the 13s came out. I tried them on at Dick's and they were so small that I bought 2 more pairs of 12s on Zappos! I held off until the 14s came out and I couldn't resist. They are simply the most comfortable shoes and I can run 6 miles out of the box without a blister or pain anywhere from poorly fitting shoes. I am so happy! Worth every penny for this runner!

Comfy, but mine are too big to wear. I already tried them out or would have returned them. VERY bright.

I've gotten these shoes for years, but on this pair the toe box is noticeably smaller and the material seems a bit flimsy. If you plan to get them, order a size larger than your normal. I'm sending mine back.

I've owned over a dozen pairs of Asics. This is the first model that felt extremely tight at the widest part of my foot.

Minimal support. My feet burn. Laces extend too far into the toe of the shoe and shoes break across my toes. Too wide in toe area. Very uncomfortable! Bring back Nimbus 12! They were perfect.

I ordered 3 pr of Brooks but too short & too wide.

I absolutely love my shoes! I have touchy, sensitive feet that need serious arch support, and Asics are the only shoes that I can wear out of the box without messing around with inserts or arch supports or having to buy a half-size larger to accommodate that stuff. They are comfortable and they gently correct my habit of pronating and they are pretty! What is not to like?

Love Zappos, always super fast delivery. The shoe is brighter than the picture. I ordered the shoe a size bigger. I got this shoe for a walking shoe after surgery and to help with recovery. This shoe provides the support I need and the cushion I deserve. Have not been able to do any long distance in them yet. However, they feel great right out of the box and I can see no problem with them.
