It's not often that people who love a shoe run in and write a review. I saw some negative reviews but I assure you this is an incredible shoe. Especially if you need a lot of cushion to protect your joints; it has taken my pain away. Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This used to be a great shoe but the past few models are being made faster, cheaper and not as good...time to try the 2140's

I've been a Nimbus runner since 2000 and these aren't very good. The toebox is much smaller and not as comfortable as Nimbus 9. I'm trying a pair of Nike now. So fas so good.

Just got these yesterday and love them. Wore addidas and decided to try something different. Just got back from a quick 6 miler and feel like I can go on another 6. Comfortable and stable ride.

Always loved the Nimbus but not the 10. Way too small a toebox & cushioning has broken down must faster than past models.

Never had a shoe that took so long to break in. After 100 kilometers the initial clunkyness is gone and the fit, cushioning and ride is exactly the way I want it to be.

Wed, October 29,2008:
I have to agree with Arnaud. I am VERY disappointed with ASICS' new design for the shoe. I have run in the Nimbus 5, 6, etc... and love the shoes - it is all I run in. I have large feet and normally wear a size 14 and require a wide toe box. For whatever reason, ASICS has turned the Nimbus into a po...

I've been running in ACISC for years. Usually I buy the DS trainer but was dissappointed with the lsat version. I found this shoe light and responsive but quite stable. I swapped out the insert with a Spenco and found the ride quite cushioned. As usual with ASICS, a 1/2 to full larger might be neede...

loved the shoe, but felt the cushioning wore out quickly. ecspecially in the forefoot. and im a forefoot runner(hilly trails)to much money for life of shoe

Great cushioning, held up well in a marathon last month. Only got 205 miles out of my first pair, second pair is ready to go. Not surprising as I am 6' 200lbs.

Fri, October 17,2008:
I run 75 miles per week and went through 5 pairs of 9's and loved them. This shoe is good but not quite as nice as the last version specifically because of the oddball lacing system and smaller toebox. The ride is good with nice heel to toe transitions and slightly better forefoot cushioning. I d...

Very good for long distances. Comfortable and great fit.

I want to help those out who were like me and hated the 9's which often caused blisters on the inside's of your feet (many times the right foot) after 4-5 milers. These Nimbus 10's are MUCH better and I no longer have blister issues and have gone on a few 6-7 milers already. I will be buying a coupl...

I just got these shoes today for my birthday from my wife, and they are great shoes...about a month ago I got fitted for Sauconys Triumph 5, and after about a month of trying to get used to them...I vowed I would go back to Asics. So my wife got me a great gift! Make sure you size up!!!

Thu, October 02,2008:
The cushioning on this shoe continues to be some of the best around, but it doesn't feel as balanced as past versions - Asics firmed up the forefoot cushioning, but it seems like they left the heel crashpad alone, giving the shoe an almost lopsided ride. The new asymmetrical lacing system is not so...

Tue, September 23,2008:
I have been and avid and devout nimbus runner for years, but this new version forced me to see a sports medicine doctor/podiatrist. He confirmed it was the shoe and not my running. The new lacing and added materials on the outside at the forefoot of the shoe constricted my right foot too much. We...

good, not great. better than 7 and 8, not as good as the nimbus 6. The rear foot seems to high. bulky looking shoes with cushioning that wont quit. Best for runs over 4 miles.

Another great nimbus. the asymeterical lacing is a nice update and it holds my foot snugly. the coushioning is incredible and i cant say enough good things about this shoe. i run about 45-50 miles a week.

Fri, September 12,2008:
Well cushioned and fairly stable shoes. Better midfoot fit than the last model. Could use a little more forefoot cushioning as opposed to just the heel. So many shoe makers are under the impression that most people run on their heels. I don't run on my heels, and I'm no exercise physiologist, bu...

Thu, September 11,2008:
I am an Asics fan and after all of terrific reviews, was disappointed with this stiff shoe. Too much plastic midsole support makes for a poor heel-toe transition. My feet were slapping the pavement. Running 40 miles a week, 7:20 pace, 185 lbs.

a bit early for me to be too commital, but I am very happy with these shoes. Only 18 miles so far, but the cushioning is excellent. It feels a bit pneumatic- like you are supported by an inflated tyre..... my first time in Asics and so far so good....will update later... rowey (australia)

Big improvement from the Nimbus 9. The heel cup does not give me any trouble. Good colors too!

I'm a big runner (6'4, 225) who logs about 35 miles per week. These shoes have been fantastic. I've put over 250 miles on them and they're still going strong. I'd recommend them for large runners with high arches like myself. Much better than the Nimbus-9 version.

Horrible, my cumulus 10s have more cushion in the forefoot!Even put a ball of foot cushion in them and still like walking barefoot!
