      Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

      Just started serious running last year and my first pair of running shoes was the nimbus 13. Loved them! The 15s were my next pair. Love them! They have nice room in the toe box like the 13s, but I feel that the fit was somehow even better with great cushion. They took me through Broad St with ease. Looking forward them seeing me through RockNRoll half marathon. Great product!

            Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 Running Shoe:

            It's a very comfortable shoe..it's more like the old 13 model, but this model, even with the same size is a larger shoe. I would like a some more support on the medial side of the foot, since we have higher arches. I remove the insole and use the Powerstep orthotics.
            Just a heads up,,i got the pink/coral one, and they are VERY flourescent in color!..i wish we could create our own colors. I understand women like colors, but sometimes it's overkill, especially if your in your 40's.

                I am in love with these shoes! The cushioning is exceptional, especially as compared to the 14s, and they are extremely comfortable. I've actually been running in the Nimbus model for about 4-5 years now and this is definitely my favorite version to date. I have narrow feet and high arches and normally run with custom orthotics, but 2 weeks in, I haven't even put the orthotics in yet because they feel so great! Highly recommend.

                I would recommend getting them half a size bigger because they do feel a bit tight (not uncomfortable but not optimum).

                      I have been wearing Nimbus running shoes since the Nimbus 7 came out. These are the only model of shoes I wear for marathons as they fit my foot just perfectly. I tried other brands and models, but none seem to do the job like the Nimbus does in providng the cushion needed for all those miles.

                      The only thing I don't care for on the Nimbus 15 is that there is a seam near the top of the laces that the prior Nimbus models didn't have. This seam can cause rubbing on the top of the toes that I have experienced in other shoe brands/models.

                        Put them on in the morning, take them off at night.
                        However, when wearing them, the tongues of both shoes slip off toward the outside and I have to stop now and then to pull them back to center. A common problem for me with all tie-shoes, don't know why it happens, but it does.

                            Toebox is slightly larger than the older models.
                            I liked the asymetrical lacing....waiting for Asics to bring that back.

                                I wish these had fit me better, because they were marshmallow-cushiony, which I enjoy. Unfortunately, they slipped around on my heel.

                                    I purchased these for my mom who is a workaholic & rarely exercises...so, she has NEVER had the pleasure of experiencing a descent athletic shoe...she would always purchase sneakers without my dad or me (my dad was an avid runner turned swimmer & I'm a runner), so she'd purchase whatever was on sale & made her foot look smaller (size 10). So, since she is having KNEE REPLACEMENT surgery next week, it was paramount that she get a great shoe that would decrease her underpronation (her feet roll outward due in part to high arches). I confess I used - um - another website to order her shoes &, without realizing it, I purchased a stability+ shoe & her feet were so slanted, it looked like her feet were attempting to roll out of the sides of her shoes . . . I learned my lesson & turned to my home base for running shoes...RSS. I used the RSS "shoe dog" to sniff out that she needed a neutral+ shoe & selected this asics shoe and the brooks glycerine in WIDE width . . . both were too short on her foot (ordered 1/2 size larger than normal per the info on the website) & will return to get a size 11 (full size larger than normal), but OMG she could not believe that a shoe could be so comfortable & supportive even though her big toe was mashed up against the tip - just by looking at her walking, it was obvious that her foot did not roll out when stepping (neutralized that overpronation problem she always has in flat casual shoes). I just ordered the size 11 so they will be here in time for her recovery from surgery. The coral & white color is SO pretty. THANKS SO MUCH RRS - your website is awesome, your prices (as always) are the best), I love my VIP membership, & please send my mom's love to the shoe dog :)

                                        I have been running for 8 years. I am a long distance runner and run 4 days a week. I run 2 marathons a year and several half marathons a year. I used to run in Adidas Boston Classic years ago before they stopped making them and found the Asics Nimbus to take the Boston Classics place. I recently bought the Nimbus 15's to try them so I could see if I liked the changes and if I didn't then I would stock up on the 14's. I tried them on a short run first and really thought they were comfortable, very cushiony and loved the bigger toe box. I had no aches and pains or blisters etc so I tried them for a second short run and had no issues. Decided to take them for a spin on a long run and 6 miles into my run I had major heel pain. I had absolutely no issues with my foot, heel, leg or anything up until that moment. I was on a slower run, didn't twist my ankle, land strange...nothing to explain my heel pain. I had to stop running on the spot and now the bursa on my heel is inflamed has taken me from running or even walking normal. The only explanation for what happened is the shoe. I did some research on bursitis and one of the possible causes is a shoe that has too much cushion. I was told that one of the other changes in the Nimbus 15 was they dropped the heel a little and I think the combo of that drop and the extra cushion has created major issues. Honestly, I thought the shoe was comfortable but I returned them right away. Just be aware that this is something that could happen. Extra cushion isn't always the best thing.
