Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Neutral Shoe Comment: This was my first ASICS shoe and I am pleased with it overall. I have run in Mizuno(Waverider 11) and Addidas(supernova Cushions, 5,6,7). This is one generation back, nimbus 9. But it is good value for the money. So far I have ~ 200 Miles in my first pair and 50 in the 2nd. Fits well. I could breakin very easily within 15-25 miles. The shoe laces are a bit short. Overall not bad, lets see how it fares in my 2nd marathon in 4 weeks Customer Rating: Summary: Good Running Shoe But Needs Some Work Comment: I've been running in Asics for awhile and am generally very happy with their shoes. When I stepped up to the Nimbus 9, I expected a shoe that was ready to run out of the box. After a couple of weeks, I ran a half marathon and noticed their new design was a bit tight on the sides which actually damaged my outside toe nails. This was not something I noticed during my daily runs (which average about 5-8 miles a day). Unlike some other reviewers, I found the external (and inside the arch) fabric to begin to wear out substantially within the first 10 months. Although this shoe seemed abit more problematic than my previous Asics, I will most like continue to purchase them due to the fact that they keep my knees and back "pain free". Customer Rating: Summary: Comfortable, sturdy, long-lasting shoes... typical ASICS Comment: *** PROS ***
Comfortable ankle wrap-around design.
Top-quality, long-lasting outsole.
Handle road impact consistenly even after 8-10 miles straight.
Forefoot cushioning is excellent.
*** CONS ***
A tad too flashy for some... the chrome accents are a tiny bit too much.
The inner arch is somewhat high. I solved this by trimming the insole with a couple of scissors. Customer Rating: Summary: Very comfortable and stable Comment: This is my first new pair of running shoes in a while. Took me a long time to choose this model. I tend to over pronate and this is one of the few models of shoes that I find very comfortable and stable. The toe box is also a bit wider than other Asics if you don't like that cramped toe feeling. Cushioning is excellent. My knee and back usually hurts after a long run with my old shoes, this pair alleviated much of the discomfort. Its impossible to make a recommendation on running shoes because the fit is so personal. But this model is definitely worth a test run. Customer Rating: Summary: Comfort running! Comment: I purchased these shoes being a huge fan of Asics trail running shoes. I was looking for something lighter, more breathable, and comfortable, and that's what I found in these shoes. I can log multiple miles on grass or pavement, and they still feel great! No pressure points or weird fit, I am happy with these shoes, and I think they look better than the Nimbus 10's, but that's just my opinion. (they're cheaper, too!)
