Asics America ASICS GEL-Nimbus 17 Running Shoes (For Men)

Very good shoes, comfort, shock, professional.

Asics shoes always run small. I typically wear a 10 1/2 E if there is wide size but with Asics, I have to get 11 1/2 if the shoe is a D width. I tried this shoe in a 12 2E which just didn't work for me. I like the look and the feel. It was light and comfortable but just didn't fit.

These shoes are amazing. I don't give 5 stars lightly, great products get 4 stars, but I save 5 star rating for products that go above and beyond, that really blow me away and these shoes get a full 5 BIG shiny stars in my book.

I generally wear Asics and I can say without a doubt this model is the best I've ever worn. They are comfortable, both in the uppers and lowers. Great heel lock. They are light weight. AND oddly enough, I've been wearing the heck out of these on a daily basis for a good 2 months and they still look new. Mind you, this is not some indoor shoe for me, I run on mixed terrain from sidewalk to grass to light trails (and I love my Nimbus 17 so much, I've been using them dual purpose for my daily shoe as well) and still after 2 months, they look new enough that people say "oh, bought a new pair huh" NOPE, same pair!!!! I did run them though the wash once, just because I wore them barefoot a few times and even though they're super breathable and there was no odor, I wanted to be sure they stayed fresh, but still, wash or not, the side sole of most other shoes would be showing wear and tear, but not the Nimbus 17, they're holding up incredibly well. The picture is after 2 full months of daily wear. The durability alone is a major selling point.

Over all, I highly recommend this shoe. There's no one area this shoe excels in, Asics made a shoe that excels in every area, they really set the standard by which I'll judge all future shoe purchases.

I continue to buy Gel Nimbus to correct uneven pronation and also because its comfortable. Being a tall, bigger, guy with size 14 to 15 feet, finding shoes that are both durable and comfortable is a challenge. These shoes also help me manage fatigue in my upper calf and also have enough room in the toe box as to not cause to rubbing or chafing issues. It should also be noted that in Washington State that its frequently wet and even on streets there's issues with moss and lichen growth, these shoes don't really slip like others and do ok on icy mornings. As a final note, they do tolerate "extractor" or washing so if I get something growing in them they will clean up nicely. The only way I kill them is that they loose their support in about 6 months or a few hundred miles (remember I am big) or the process of Washington will start to delaminate the sole.
