I have worn Asics throughout my years in high school and the Marine Corps. I have been surprised they have taken so long to feel natural to my feet. Initially, these shoes actually caused my feet and ankles to hurt. I did attempt to return the shoes previously, although, since I had already worn them they could not be returned. Overall, still a great shoe although I think I need to contact Asics directly and see if they can help with this pair. Honestly, I think this particular pair is likely the one out of thousands that may have something wrong with it. No one can know definitely until someone buys it and wears them at many times.

Great running shoe! Comfortable right out of the box, I have not had to break them in at all, no blisters or hot spots. Much more versatile than I thought they would be. Though I use them mostly for road running and that's where they are best, I have had them out in a variety of terrain and conditions and was pleasantly surprised.

They do pretty well on the more mellow and packed trails, but lack the stability and rock protection for looser/rockier trails, not a knock as its not their intended use just thought it was worth mentioning.

I have had them out in snowy/Icy conditions on a few of my road runs as well and they did well in those conditions grip wise, though they are not waterproof so try not to run through any puddles or you'll have wet feet.

As others have noted they do run small so go up a a half size from your typical size for the best fit.

The Nimbus 19 is a softer feel than previous models. I have always worn a 11 in the Nimbus line but on these I had to go 1/2 size up and could have gone a full size up. That being said I love the softer ride these shoes have.

As any asics shoes, great looking and confortable, perfect to walk or run

this is the second pair I have bought my husband and he loves them he has gout so he loves to wear them everyday

I bought my oldest son his first pair of asics gels and he loves them he wears them everyday.

These shoes are so good and comfortable this is the third pair I have bought my son

I got these for my dad who averages about 70 mi per week. It is like clockwork that every few months he gets another pair of the gel nimbus. Use, rinse, & repeat.

If you don't like to think about or feel like you are running when you hit the road, this is the shoe for you. It is so soft and cushiony that your body doesn't feel the wear and tear of running. ***RUN'S A HALF SIZE SMALL*** Order a half size bigger than you normally would and you will be stoked with the fit.
