5.0 out of 5 stars Light, Comfortable, Supportive - Excellent Running Shoe!
The Nimbus 11 is a great improvement on the already-fabulous Nimbus line of running shoes. I upgraded to this shoe after I started experiencing knee pain from my well-worn Nimbus 9's. I love the improvements in this shoe -- the lighter weight, cooler colors and asymmetrical lacing pattern which takes the laces slightly on a diagonal to match the natural contour of the...

3.0 out of 5 stars Huge dissappointment after the Nimbus 10
Absolutely loved my multiple pairs of Nimbus 10's. They were the most comfortable running shoe (actually any shoe!) that I had ever owned. The Nimbus 11 is just not in the same league. As a pronator with a bad knee, stability is of utmost importance. The Nimbus 10 provided that stability, the Nimbus 11 does not. My foot felt like it was constantly trying to slide to...

5.0 out of 5 stars Light, Comfortable, Supportive - Excellent Running Shoe!, July 6, 2009
The Nimbus 11 is a great improvement on the already-fabulous Nimbus line of running shoes. I upgraded to this shoe after I started experiencing knee pain from my well-worn Nimbus 9's. I love the improvements in this shoe -- the lighter weight, cooler colors and asymmetrical lacing pattern which takes the laces slightly on a diagonal to match the natural contour of the foot rather than digging in to the top of the foot like some shoes do. I have virtually eliminated my knee pain since wearing these and have had no blisters or other foot issues. They feel great and I am very happy with the Asics Nimbus line of shoes. I also found that ordered 1/2 size up is a very good idea. Great running shoe!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Perfect, February 11, 2010
I have high arches so sometimes finding a shoe that supports well and keeps my toes from tingling is a problem. These shoes feels like they was made for my feet, no joke they fit like a glove! I have never had shoes that fit this well, are this comfortable and supportive all at the same time. An added bonus...they look great!! i love these shoes! i don't think i will ever buy another brand of running shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Improvement!!!, July 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Have been using these shoes for over 6 years now and this has got to be the best one by miles!!!! No stiching in the heel box means no rubing or blisters. Better lacing no hot spots and fantastic coushioning. Same size I always buy and fits perfectly. Goning to order another pair next month before they are all gone. I hope they don't change this shoe.

3.0 out of 5 stars Huge dissappointment after the Nimbus 10, January 24, 2010
Absolutely loved my multiple pairs of Nimbus 10's. They were the most comfortable running shoe (actually any shoe!) that I had ever owned. The Nimbus 11 is just not in the same league. As a pronator with a bad knee, stability is of utmost importance. The Nimbus 10 provided that stability, the Nimbus 11 does not. My foot felt like it was constantly trying to slide to the inside of the shoe and my knee started aching immediately. There is also a decrease in cushioning that can be felt the moment you try on the shoe--my 6 month old Nimbus 10's still provide more cushioning than these do brand new.
Anxiously awaiting the Nimbus 12 and hoping it's an improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, comfortable running shoe, July 13, 2009
I purchased this shoes because I was experiencing knee pain, and ankle pain. I felt like my previous running shoes did not have enough cushioning and support for my foot. I found this shoes to be both light and comfortable. They offer great cushion and did not hurt at all. I am very happy with this shoe, I love Asics!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good neutral running shoe, October 27, 2009
By 
er resident (Cleveland Ohio) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a nice cushioned shoe. Great arch support, and overall cushioning. I am a supinator / under-pronator, so these are great shoes for me. My knees and feet no longer hurt after long runs.

My only complaint is the tax and shipping charges, they eat up all you are saving by purchasing the shoes on amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Always an Asics girl! :-), September 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Always have worn Asics running shoes. They have alot of support and cushioning. The New Gel Nimbus 11 - however were the first pair that actually hurt me. They seem more rigid and stiff in the heel area. On my left foot they rubbed alot at first and created a HUGE blister. It would probably be a good idea to break these in with aloooooooot of slower walking first. Now I usually just bandage up that heel so it won't do it again. Everything else about the shoes has been great! They are comfy everywhere else and supportive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully cushie!, September 18, 2009
I have been running only a few weeks and had blisters on the bottom of my outer toes and my feet were very sore. I decided that maybe I also decided that I was just supposed to have shin splits until I got used to running...not true. It turns out I was prancing more than rolling my foot and I was running on the outside edge of my feet and that's why i have blisters on my last few toes. A little bit a research on the web and I realized I needed new shoes. I was wearing the same shoes from college...which was a long time ago. I have had these shoes now for 2 weeks and my blisters have healed and I no longer have shin splints - they are so cushie! Maybe one day soon you'll see me flying past you in a race, or not:) I highly recommend these shoes if your feet have a tendency to roll outward - they are very stable and soft shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoes!, August 16, 2009
These shoes contour perfectly with my foot and ankle, are lightweight and breathable. I also had to get a half size larger than my normal shoe. They have just the right amount of support and cushioning for me. I'm got them to train for a half marathon, and they are awesome!
