Great Shoe...
Bought this shoe and the Mizuno Wave Creation 9 at the same time. This shoe was far superior in fit and function for me and was an upgrade from Gel Nimbus 9:
* Fits like a slipper (vs. oversize fit of Mizuno)
* Balanced and plush cushion system from heel to toe
* Consistent sizing with prior Asics models (Mizuno needs to be 1/2 size larger)
* Designed for medium to high arches - good comfort in upper shoe area
* Excellent no slip lacing
* Material/ventilation permits good shoe breathability
* Light weight at 12.4 oz (vs. 13+ oz for Mizuno)
* Ran on road, track and trail and felt that shoe performed on all terrains

My Best Shoe Yet!!! (for big guys)
Well. after much reasearch and consideration I finally decided to go with the Asics Gel Nimbus. I have to say, I was very, very pleased with this purchase. Here's why... I started exercising and running at 259Lbs...yes, I'm a, or should I say "was" a much bigger man. I used Nike's for years and was relatively happy with them, however, with the extra weight I found that days after I would have terrible shin splints, so, like many of us, I found out that it could be a range of things, at the end of the day, trial and error, it was mu shoes and they did not have enough support and cushioning for my excess "junk".
The Nimbus have everything that I needed, as I put them on, I could tell the difference, the support was fantastic, the shoe fit like a glove all around the foot and it gives you a little extra bounce. So, I went running! now 3 weeks later, the shin splints are almost gone and I have improved my time around the Savannah (I live in Trinidad - 3.52km or 2.18 miles around)tremendously. The shoe is comfortable and I did not find you had any "breaking in" to do like some shoes.
Any person, heavy or not or those who have heavy feet would do well to get a pair of these, it's like walking on clouds (no pun intended) They also have a wide pronation range so can suit many types of runners from unders to overs.
I hope this review helps you make a decision. You can't go wrong with these.
