Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Like running on air Comment: I absolutely love this shoe. The gel cushioning is fantastic and very comfortable. I think they are also very attractive (especially the blue ones).
Just a quick note: If your foot pronates, you might not want to buy this shoe, as I was told that this shoe sacrifices stability for cushioning. I am a beginning runner with a very even footstrike, so the emphasis on cushioning is perfect for me (my previous pair was too rigid).
If your foot is appropriate for this shoe, I would highly recommend it. It is worth every penny. Customer Rating: Summary: favorite running shoe Comment: This is my fourth pair of Asics Gel Nimbus shoes and I've yet to be disappointed Customer Rating: Summary: comfy and great Comment: ASICS® Women's Gel Nimbus 9
I've always been a big fan of ASICS footwear. These shoes are excellent. I would recommend them to anyone looking for running shoes that look amazing and feel great too.
Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic shoe! Comment: This is the second time that I've purchased this shoe. It's one of the best that Asics has to offer. I received the shoes fast with no problems. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect running shoe for me! Comment: I was looking for this very type of shoes that I had previously been fitted for at a running store. I was able to find the pair pretty easily via name and number and make sure with the very accurate photographs. I then compared prices. I got a great bargain and ended up ordering two pair. Amazon rocks!
This pair of shoe works exceptionally well for a first-time marathon trainee (I will run Chicago in October 2008). I am also a fuller figured woman who needs extra shoe stability and this shoe has fit the bill. I highly recommend this shoe but also believe that all new runners need to be professionally fitted before starting an running program. Get fitted at a running store like Fleet Feet but then get your replacement/second pair of shoes at Amazon. Runners need new shoes every 175-300 miles (that's a lot)!
