Asics Mens Gel Nimbus 9December 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Great running shoe!December 28, 2008 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.
Great Running, cross training shoeDecember 3, 2008 These are my third pair of ASICS and the quality in the higher end shoe is unbeatable. comfort, support and durabilty are key for me, and these provide all three. i would reccommend to anyone.
Foot Lexus, or Foot Cadillac if you are concerned about GM.December 2, 2008 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.
Great Shoe For Neutral FootDecember 1, 2008 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.
