These shoes were seriously too small.  I wear either a Womens 10 or 11M, depending on the brand and shoe style.  Often the size 11 is way too big.  Sizes are very inconsistent between brands and styles, and apparently even between country-of-origen on the same brand and style (ASICS come from Thailand, Vietnam, and China.  The ones I got were from Vietnam.).  I could barely squeeze my feet into the size 11, so had to pay very high shipping costs to return them.  I will never buy another pair of shoes online that do not include free returns!<br /><br />I also ordered a different pair of ASIC Gels which were only around $40 and which fit perfectly and were very comfortable.  I honestly do not see what makes the Gel Nimbus 17 shoes worth the price of $135.
