  Nice October 24, 2008
Very confortable, with good cushion and foot suport. But feels heavy compared to N8 and others options in the market.
 Great Neutral Shoe September 30, 2008
This was my first ASICS shoe and I am pleased with it overall. I have run in Mizuno(Waverider 11) and Addidas(supernova Cushions, 5,6,7). This is one generation back, nimbus 9. But it is good value for the money. So far I have ~ 200 Miles in my first pair and 50 in the 2nd. Fits well. I could breakin very easily within 15-25 miles. The shoe laces are a bit short. Overall not bad, lets see how it fares in my 2nd marathon in 4 weeks
Good Running Shoe But Needs Some Work September 11, 2008
I've been running in Asics for awhile and am generally very happy with their shoes. When I stepped up to the Nimbus 9, I expected a shoe that was ready to run out of the box. After a couple of weeks, I ran a half marathon and noticed their new design was a bit tight on the sides which actually damaged my outside toe nails. This was not something I noticed during my daily runs (which average about 5-8 miles a day). Unlike some other reviewers, I found the external (and inside the arch) fabric to begin to wear out substantially within the first 10 months. Although this shoe seemed abit more problematic than my previous Asics, I will most like continue to purchase them due to the fact that they keep my knees and back "pain free".
Comfortable, sturdy, long-lasting shoes... typical ASICS September 11, 2008
*** PROS ***
Comfortable ankle wrap-around design.
Top-quality, long-lasting outsole.
Handle road impact consistenly even after 8-10 miles straight.
Forefoot cushioning is excellent.
*** CONS ***
A tad too flashy for some... the chrome accents are a tiny bit too much.
The inner arch is somewhat high. I solved this by trimming the insole with a couple of scissors.
Comfort running! July 31, 2008
I purchased these shoes being a huge fan of Asics trail running shoes. I was looking for something lighter, more breathable, and comfortable, and that's what I found in these shoes. I can log multiple miles on grass or pavement, and they still feel great! No pressure points or weird fit, I am happy with these shoes, and I think they look better than the Nimbus 10's, but that's just my opinion. (they're cheaper, too!)
