New Space Trusstic System had added ridges for improved midfoot support. Newly updated Biomorphic Fit upper gives superior fit and function. PHF.

A great training shoe. As an Ironman athlete who recently suffered a knee injury, I had to cut back on my training volume until I tried this shoe. Great cushioning and support -- a good training shoe for the high mileage runner.

After having much success with the VI, I thought the VIIs would be just as good. They seem heavier on my feet but they are still much better than the Asics 2100s.

A great cushioning shoe. Cradles the foot and is pretty stable.

Shoe provides great support for me (6'3", 210 lbs.). However I agree that the size in the Nimbus VII runs big. Go down a 1/2 size when ordering. This shoe runs bigger than the Nimbus VI.

Tue, May 30,2006:
I had previously run in the Asics Nimbus VI, which fit me very well. I got the VII's a few weeks ago and am sending them back - I had an 8.5 in the VI's, and that same size was too big in the VII's. The VII's also rubbed my little toe on my right foot only (defective shoe or design problem - I don...

Many people have complained about the fit of this shoe and heel pain and/or blistering. All I can say is that I've had no problems whatsoever. I think the key is sizing down a 1/2 size from what you normally wear. I usually run in 12 1/2 but had to get a 12 in these for the fit to be right. Also...

I've been running for 23 years, and this is the first shoe I've owned that felt perfect from right out of the box. Snug in the heal, but roomy in the toe box, super cushioning. Great for those who do lots of running on the road.

Thu, May 11,2006:
I'm very sorry to report that these shoes gave me blisters under my large toe knuckles (ball of the foot). I've never blistered before (been running for >25 years) and am very disappointed that the Nimbus VII didn't work for me, but I think it must be the larger toebox. I've been buying shoes with ...

I've blistered in the heels with these shoes. Haven't done that before.

Awesome shoes...buying my 5th or 6th pair...wide toebox with mesh all across the top relieved a big-toe hotspot with other shoes. Will run 3rd marathon later this month with these! Nervous though that Asics' website talks about the GEL Nimbus VIII coming out in Fall '06...I hate it when companies ...

Blistered like crazy in heel ares. Terrible shoes.

Mon, May 01,2006:
I've worn Nimbus for years and have been quite satisfied until I purchased my first pair of VIIs. I bought the same size as I always had but now the toebox is wider and the shoe is a bit longer than previous years' models (buying mail order can be a risk). Going down a half size from what I used to ...

These shoes are wonderful! I trained for my half marathon in them and they held up beautifully.

I'm a high school runner and spend lots of miles in my running shoes. I discovered the Nimbus early last season. After an a stress fracture in my ankle. I'm on my second pair now and just love them! Thank you Nimbus, youre so sweet to my feet!

Excellent shoe! I tried the NB1060 but continued to have metatarsel pain. The wide toe box and excellent gel cushion in the Nimbus are excellent. A new winner!!

Got these a month ago after I started getting knee trouble with the N 992. These are great, very flexible in the toe. Cushioning is great; they can really take a beating. I.m 5'9 185 pounds with mid arches. When running my foot dose not move around inside at all, very secure. I have not gotten any b...

Love these shoes right out of the box they were perfect. I'm medium build with high arch and need a flexible shoe.

Not since 1998 have I been able to find a shoe I loved so much (the old Reebok DMX 10 pods!) I bought these shoes Wed. and raced in them out of the box for a Turkey Trot the next day and had my bext time in a 5K since running again. When those wore down I bought an identical pair (after a terrible b...

I love these shoes i'm on my second pair and looking to buy my third. I love the looks of them and they fit great are comfortable, and i have never had any pain running with these shoes.

I've ran and walked in Kayano's for years before moving on to the new Nimbus VII. I'm a heavy person at 230 lbs. and find that I'm having problems with soreness on the balls of my feet after walking 3 to 4 miles. Great fit with plenty of custion in the heals. Going back to Kayanos!

I love these shoes. I usally require a wide (4E) shoe, but these just mold to my feet and feel great. The cushioning makes it feel like you are running on air. I can't say enough good things about these shoes.

Sat, March 25,2006:
Excellent shoe! I have run in Kayanos and Hurricanes, for the price this one ranks right up there with them , but less expensive. Great soft ,support from heal to toe. I have turned 2 of my friends on to these and they love them also. Highly Recomended!

Mon, March 20,2006:
I have been running in Nimbus shoes for the past four years until these replaced the VIs. Cushion is overbearing and makes the shoe feel loose and the fit (toebox) is now too wide for my liking.

Had my first run in these today. Very nice fit, excellent ride, and pain free.
