The advertised cushioning does not disappoint and the shoe in 4E width gives a snug but comfortable fit. The colors and style is definitely not for the conservative minded but it is ok with me. I tried the Asics Kayano 14 but like others said the shoe leaves some things to be desired especially for the price $. The Nimbus is pricey but WELL WORTH the $.

ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10 Features:
Running shoe built for the neutral to under-pronator who requires an enhanced cushioning and extended durability.
• The Gel-Nimbus 10, with its top of the line reputation and exceptional fit, cushions your feet as if they were running on clouds!
• Biomorphic Fit Upper provides superior fit and comfort while decreasing the potential for irritation.
• Asymmetrical Lacing System conforms to the bony structure of the foot for an enhanced fit.
• 3M reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
• ComforDry™ insole provides the optimum cushioning performance system that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.
• P.H.F. (Personal Heel Fit) comprises a memory foam lined heel collar that molds to the athlete’s heel, creating a personalized fit.
• Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) better allows the shoe and foot to transition together through the contact, midstance and propulsion components. This linked componentry enhances the foot’s natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
• ASICS Forefoot and Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System is strategically placed at high impact areas in the forefoot and rearfoot for shock absorption.
• Solyte offers a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.
• Dynamic Cradle comprises a molded midsole component that is engineered for specific foot types to enhance guidance and fit.
• Space Trusstic System creates a pocket between the Trusstic System device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function. Trusstic System is a molded component that links the rearfoot and forefoot and shores the midfoot.
• Gender Specific Fit is achieved as the Space Trusstic System recognizes the normal periodic changes in the shape of the woman’s arch and provides for the controlled deformation of the arch into the space within the system.
• AHAR Heel Plug (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber) has been added to critical areas of the outsole for increased durability.
• DuraSponge blown AHAR rubber compound improves forefoot cushioning and durability.
