I've been running for seven years and have stuck with the Gel Nimbus line. I'm actually hesitant to go with anything else. I've tried minimal before but it's not for me. I like the cushion and support. The only reason I'm giving this four starts is because I havnt been able to run in these yet. I'm 8 weeks post partum and stupidly bruised my ribs mountain biking. I'm bummed bc I just got the shoes and was ready to get back to running. My other nimbus were worn to death. I've tried them on and have walked around in them and I can tell they are going to be great. I hope this line never ends. Finding your running shoe is like finding the one you can trust to cut your hair. Once you finally have them you don't ever want to lose them.
