Summary: Asics Mens Gel Nimbus 9
Date: 2008-12-29 -
Comment: These are great shoes. I am a 45 year old male in moderate to good health and these shoes helped me train for and compete in a half iron-man. I typically am a back of the pack finisher, but my goal is to have a better finish in this year's triathlon.
The shoes provide great support, are light, and have performed well even in rainy weather.
Summary: Great running shoe!

Comment: The Nimbus 9 running shoes were delivered promptly as promised and are excellent. I'm impressed with the quality of the shoe and enjoy running 20+ miles a week in them. The cushioning is good although not as comfortable as I expected. That was a slight disappointment. I've been looking for a "go-to" running shoe that I can purchase over and over. This may be the one.
Summary: Great Running, cross training shoe

Comment: I have owned about 25 pair of ASICS and have never been more impressed with a shoe. I moved to Nimbus 8's then Nimbus 9's and have been VERY happy with their well cushioned ride. I run with a stiff insole (orthotic) so the shoe needs to take all the impact, and these shoes deliver. Very pleased.
Summary: Great Shoe For Neutral Foot
Date: 2008-12-01 -
Comment: This is the only shoe that I have bought 4 times and been completely happy with each time (Versions 7-9). I run 20-30 miles a week and have "neutral" pronation.
