Great Sneaker

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

In my 16 years of 6-7 days/wk running I have tried every brand of running shoes out there. Some I stuck with for a while (New Balance 1220, Nike Vomero) and most I tried and gave up on quickly. That includes Asics. I remember trying the Nimbus about 12 or 13 years ago and finding them to be way too heavy. Well, I had been wearing Vomero 5's for a few years. Loved them like no other. All of my chronic injuries (tibial stress, runner's knee, ankle pain) were gone. However, I started running 1/2 marathons, and after training for the first one I started to notice lower back pain. It got to the point where my back would become weak by mile 5 or 6 of a training run, and my form became terrible. I was arching my back and it wasn't pretty (trust me, I have finish line pictures to prove it). At some point I moved on to the Vomero 6's, finding slight relief, but still not enjoying my running the way I used to. I gave up the half marathons and started on 10ks, still being in agony by the finish. I decided it may to time to think about another brand of shoes, and found the Nimbus to be the most similar to the Vomeros and to my surprise, they actually weigh less than the Vomeros. I guess Asics decided to lighten them up over the years. Well, all I can say is WOW. This shoe is beyond comfortable. Where the Vomero's were kind of clunky (looking almost like clown shoes) the Nimbus fit my foot like a slipper. I will say that the toe box is kind of narrow. But I have a very tiny foot and I know if I had gone with the wide, they would have been too big. I've only been running in them for a week, with a long run of only 5 miles, but so far, so good. The back pain is still there but I think it's residual from the Vomeros. Definitely not affecting my form and my speed is back to a 9-9:15 minute mile pace. I was up to 10:30-10:45 with the Vomeros. The cushioning is phenomenal, as is the flexibility. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Nimbus will enable me to slowly creep back up to half marathons.

Had some pain when running before, no pain now.

This is such a great shoe! I have high arches and was getting a lot of pain in my lower legs with my old shoes. Since purchasing these running shoes my leg pain has all but disappeared and I have comfortably been able to run for longer.

I purchased half a size larger on the recommendation of previous reviews. I also chose the 2A width as my feet are narrow. They hold the bridge of my feet very well, but still have plenty of room in the toe box. They are probably the most comfortable running shoes I have ever owned! I would definitely recommend these shoes.

I have planters fast. and this is the only shoes that is really cushioned enough to be comfortable. Did care for the 14 but the 15 ins back on track. Love them

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

Absolutely LOVE the Asics Gel Nimbus--have run in them for years and have never been disappointed. Due to negative reviews, I stayed away from the Nimbus 14 and went with the 15's. No complaints here at all.

I am an instructor at a Marine Corps academy aboard Camp Pendleton and we are constantly running hills and pavement depending on the schedule. My nimbus 15's ease the pain on my joints and support my high arch. I was waiting for the 15's to come out because I was disappointed in the 14's, the cushion wore out to easily. The nimbus 15's live up to the hype, I run over 15 miles a week easily and so far my nimbus 15's let me cruise with ease! Lovem!

Comfortable toe box. Had previously been running in the Asics 2100 series; but the new 2000 didn't feel right. The Nimbus has more cushioning and accomodates my orthotics.

Very comfortable

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

I run 18-25 miles per week and four Half Marathons a year. I trained in the ASICS Cumulus 8-14. I then changed to a less cushioned minimal shoe. Not that there is anything wrong with the minimal shoes for races, but if I wear them for long training runs, I have sore knees. So I went back to ASICS and tried the Nimbus and it is great and the sore knees are gone. A very comfortable shoe, nice and wide in the toe box, and a good snug fit in the heel. Room for my custom orthotics. This shoe does run small, so order a half size up.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

Great shoe for a heavy runner who does less than three miles, 3X week. Great cushioning and energy return - I have a bounce as soon as I hit the pavement. I have worn nothing but asics, but the gel nimbus 14 was awful and decided to try the brooks ghost 5, which I really like a lot but didn't get the same kind of energy return or bounce. Then I found the 15 and decided to give it a try based on the reviews. I'm keeping both shoes.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

This is my first pair of ASICS, so I don't know how they will wear yet, but they are definitely the most comfortable pair of running shoes I've worn yet. I do wear them with prescription orthotics so I can't speak to the arch support of the original inserts that came with the shoes, but the cushioning in the heels is amazing! My knees are loving all the shock absorbtion. So far I am extremely pleased.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

I am coming back to running after a long hiatus, and have been slowly building my running mileage, and endurance. I've had trouble finding a shoe that wouldn't bother my injury, being cushy enough all the while helping me convert from being a heel striker. Finally, finally, THIS shoe fits the bill. And yes, it's like finally finding the love of your life!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

I have been running in this shoe for about 5 years now and I have had no problems with my knees or legs. I run about anywhere from 24-40 miles a week and replace my shoes every 3 months. When you run that much you should change every 3 months.

Great shoe!! Even better than the previous model

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

I've worn Asics running shoes for over 30 years & I'm rarely disappointed. This time is no exception. The first day I wore my new Nimbus 15 shoes, I went out & ran 14 miles. They felt great & fit perfect, no problems at all. Thanks.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

The model before this one was lacking comfort, but this shoe has returned to greatness! Love this shoe!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

I usually wear Kayanos but thought I'd give these a try. I have a narrow foot and these shoes were very narrow and tight. I ended up returning them unfortunately.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

I like the ankle support & arch support compared to nimbus 14. Great cushion and traction versus the 14s . I found that the nimbus 15s are also a bit heavier then past nimbus models. If I had to chose which model is the best for my usage I would chose the nimbus 13s because its a combo of the 14 & 15 .

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

I've been patiently waiting for the 15's to come out to replace my worn out 14's (that wore out much too soon, just sayin').
I'm a newbie runner and started out with the some 14's and loved them...switched to Mizuno Wave and loved those too, but craved that cushioned stride that Asics has perfected. I haven't had prior Nimbus editions so can only say that compared to the 14's, they do seem heavier-especially compared to Mizunos. BUT, my feet and knees are happier to run distance in these. So happy that the color choices on these are all fun. The shoe fits true to size, I have a narrow-ish foot and the shoe is not too wide. Roadrunner.com customer service was amazing-can't beat it. Go for it!
