Pros: Soft, comfortable, almost luxurious. Cons: None, if this is the right kind of shoe for the way you run.
The Nimbus is a wonderful shoe, if you have a neutral gait. If you over-pronate (roll your foot to the inside too much and/or too early as you go from heal to toe) then the Nimbus won't support your foot and you'll be at risk for injury and pain. Most ...
Pros: Cushioning like cloud 9, no muss-no fuss, stay clean Cons: for me a high retail price (wait for sale), drab colors
First, let me say that I at any one time have at least five pair of running shoes, and I like to mix things up. However, over the past several years, I have found myself going to the Asics well more and more. This shoe is no different. In fact, I like ...
Pros: The cushioning and comfort the shoe provides. Cons: More variety of colors.
I have been running for 3 years now, and had various shoes. Unfortunately, each shoe provided a unique physical pain. I had a pair of sauconys that I trained on for the 2002 LA marathon. They were great shoes, but after two months into my ...
I have been running fro several years and been through many different brands and styles (most recently saucony and brooks). This asics shoe is by far the most comfortable shoe yet. It provides excellent stability but has a flexible fit. The forefoot cushioning makes a HUGE difference when you compare it to other brands (one shoe on each foot). The asics is lights, breathable, cushioned, and stable. It compensates for a slight pronation and has relieved some pain on the top of my foot after longer runs. It can be a bit pricey but worth the money if you're serious about comfort and proper stability.

Pros: Light weight, form fitting, good stability and cushioning Cons: a little pricey but worth it
I've been running for 4 years and was a loyal New Balance guy. A local running store analyzed my style and suggested the ASICS Gel Nimbus. Almost a year later I have no complaints. Feels like they are part of my feet.
Pros: Excellent cushioning and comfort. Cons: None found.
When I started running 2 years ago, I made the mistake of running in cheap shoes, and began to experience awful pain in my left heel while running. I have since wised up, and will only purchase running shoes at a "running store". The chain sporting goods stores you find in every mall don't count as their selection of high quality shoes are limited, and staff experience is equally limited. I needed a great cushioning shoe for my heel problem. I tried on 3 pair of shoes based on the running store recommendation. Asics Gel Nimbus VI, Brooks Glycerin 3, Saucony 3D Grid Triumph2. For me, the Nimbus VI felt most comfortable in the store (half size above my foot measurement). I've been on my treadmill running in my Nimbus VI for the past month, and I feel like royalty. I've never owned such a good pair of running shoes, and most important, my heel pain has diminished.
