Asics® GEL-Nimbus VII®: Ultimate Cushioning, New Improved Fit.

The pillow-soft feel and flexibility are just as addictive as ever. Guidance and superb performance still rule from heel to toe. And now, new open-air mesh creates a soft, slipper-like upper that teams with four more new improvements to the fit. New Duo-Sole forefoot is durable, yet light and responsive. New Space Trusstic System had added ridges for improved midfoot support. Newly updated Biomorphic Fit upper gives superior fit and function. PHF. (Personalized Heel Fit) molds to your heel.

Best for runners with a medium to large build and medium to high arches.

Simply the best running shoes I've ever had. Always been happy with Asics, but newer models have not been able to compare to this shoe. Never had a shoe that facilitated the perfect role and motion of the foot like these.

Terrific cushioning and stability when new. I also replaced the insoles after just a few miles. As a heavy runner, the cushioning did wear out rapidly, and I am having to replace them after about 350 miles.

This shoe may be in the wrong category -- more of stability-feel to me. Great shoe for both cushioning and stability. I am 6 foot 205, run about 12 miles p/wk, and I'm recovering from an achilles repair. I've tired many shoes over the last 18 months post-surgery, and to me, these feel pretty good...

These shoes didn't cut it. Nice and soft but 250 miles and they were done. At 190 lbs, they are not for my size. Back to Kayanos and Nike Air Structures.

soft ride. easy on the knees. 500+ miles and still have miles to go on them.

Feels great, but gives me blisters on my heels, so they have become practically unusable without bandaids. The Cumulus don't cause this at all. If only they had the fit and cusion of the Nimbus.

Been running in GEL -Nimbus for years IV and Up, and they were Great. VII after three miles rub blisters on both my heels. Shoe feel great but causes blisters. Are VIII's any better?

Great shoe that I am sorry to see get replaced. RRS, if you can get your hands on more of these, please do!

One of the best shoes I've worn. Plenty of cushion for a 230 pound runner. I have almost 100 miles on them and there are no obvious signs of wear. The only complaint is the cheap insole for such an expensive shoe. After 50 miles I replaced it.
