Asics has always delivered its promise of maximum comfort, for many years of use and foot safety. The Asics Gel Nimbus VII is another fulfilment of that promise. It is a flexible shoe that is as soft as a cushion. It is sure to win you over with its superior performance. The shoe has been designed for maximum comfort. While that is the case, there is no compromise on protection for the feet. The shoe provides excellent control and is supremely efficient. The upper of this shoe has a mesh that allows easy breathing. The upper gives soft comfort that resembles a slipper. The fore-foot is made using the latest Duo-Sole technology that makes it tough and long-lasting and at the same time lightweight and tender. The offers enhanced support to the midfoot due to the latest Space Trusstic system with added ridges. It has a Personalized Heel Feet that adjusts to your heel dimensions and secures it firmly. The improved fit and performance is achieved due to the upper that has Biomorphic fit.
The shoes are ideal for runners whose build ranges from medium to large and those with arches that are medium or high. Their capability for shock absorption is exceptional due to the cushioning heel GEL and forefoot GEL. The width of the toebox is medium and the shoes have a slip last construction. The midsole is made from EVA that has been compression molded. The outsole is made from carbon rubber and the upper has a mesh made from synthetic leather. They are stable while running and are suited for daily use. They can be used by runners with a neutral gait. The Asics Gel Nimbus VII running shoes are available for both male and female runners, with the shoes for females having the same features but differing in size.

We have tried many different brands but we keep going back to Asics Cumulus for the excellent cushioning and comfort. I don't buy any other brand or model any more. I have run two marathons and two sprint triathalons and have logged many training miles over the last 10 years; Asics shoes ROCK.
Above average

With a Japanese brand like Asics, you would have high expectations like I did when I made my purchase. However, they did not live up to my standards, especially how expensive they were. My previous Asics trail Gel Attack 3 were more comfortable than the Cumulus 10. In comparison with the Brooks Glycerin and Saucony Pro Grid Jazz, the Cumulus 10 place 3rd. I am still puzzled how they feel SO comfortable when walking but so rigid during running. Running roughly ~20 miles a week, my knees tell me the difference between the 3 pairs in comparison. In terms of weight, it's heaviest of the 3. The Brooks Glycerin is the most comfortable shoe for my type of feet. (Medium arch with neutral pronation). This will be the last time I wear Asics.
good but...

I ran about 30 miles and the mesh does not offer the side to side support I was expected. I always feel my foot sliping when i'm running over an uneven surface. This movement lead me to tie my shoes tighter than usual. As for the shock absorption it work great for me.
not the same fit as older Gel Nimbus

I've been running in the Asics Gel Nimbus for several years now. I was so glad to have found a shoe that I could trust. So when I needed a new pair of shoes, I didn't hesitate to buy the Gel Nimbus 10. How disappointing! The shoes felt fine, but after wearing them running I noticed that the toe box is narrower. I ended up with blisters all over my toes and on the bottom of my feet. When I got ready to run the next time, I compared the fit to my old Nimbus 9 and noticed that my toes are rubbing slightly against the inside of the shoe. If only the shoe was a little wider. I'm considering cutting the side of the shoe open to give my toes a place to go. It's still a great shoe, but you can't blindly purchase them just because the 8 or 9 worked for you.
