ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10 (Read 10394 times)

The reviews for the10's are swimming in 10/10 ratings and apparently they are as durable as anything out there. I loved my 8's, I am loving my 9's and I can't wait until Mrs Daddyo releases funds for the 10's. I may have to risk injury and run like hell in order to wear out my 9's so i have to buy 10's

I have to admit I love my 8s SOOO much that I'm scared to upgrade. I read a nasty review or two about the 9s, so I ended up developing a pesky habit, er - obsession, of searching for 8s on clearance. So I'm encouraged to hear good things about the 10s. I know I'll have to bite the bullet soon. Sorry I can't help, but thanks for starting this. I really want them to be a great shoe.

I have them. I was in desperate need of a new pair of Nimbus's... but held out for a few weeks until I could find the Nimbus 10... Certain 'elite' stores had them around April 20. I have about 85 miles on mine and love them... I read one review that said they "feel new longer" and I'd agree w/ that, though the outsoles aren't wearing any better for me (I wear through mine in about 250 miles). I'm not the type of person who gets hung up on lacing (not uncommon for me to double-knot them when I get them and slip them on for the life of the shoe), but I've noticed nothing different with the lacing system - plus or minus. I was a big fan of the 9 and I'm now a big fan of the 10. Expecting not much of a change other than a "feel new" feeling for a bit longer.

10's currently available in limited specialty stores. NA wide release in June. You may want to skip the 9's and go to the 10's.

I tried the 10s but didn't like the fit. They seemed a bit narrow in the front toe box and I was concerned with possible blisters on the inside of the big toes. Because of this I kept with the 9s.

I have been in the 9s, which I'm getting ready to retire. The fit was ok and I enjoyed the shoe but the durability bothered me. I started noticing the need to replace them around 240ish miles. I typically have gotten 340-350 out of my Kayanos and my GT-2120s so I was disappointed to have to replace the 9s so soon. Hopefully, the 10s will last longer.

I just bought a pair of Nimbus 10s. Haven't ran in them yet, can't report. I normally wear a size 8, my last pair of cumulus where a size 9, the Nimbus are a size 10 They do run smaller. I think it's from the odd angle of the laces. Makes the toebox more narrow and pulls the area of the big toe in more. Go for another size up with these babies! MTA: Ok, I take back what I said. I walked around the house in them this morning before my run. I have come to the conclusion that they are just too big. The heels slips too much. Maybe a 9 1/2 would have been good. Darn store had nothing in my size yesterday. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
