The Asics Gel-Nimbus Running shoes ARE my favorite!  Because I ordered two different pairs of top Acis shoes to try (made for stability and over-pronating) I had an opportunity to compare. I wore these first, again with no shin-splints, no blisters, no over-pronating, and fabulous comfort. I wore these for a long time, until they began to soften and then switched them to my gym shoes. I then wore the Kahana 3, for my "running shoes".  Of the 2 of them, I prefer these, although they are both terrific running shoes.  These are pure comfort and cushion and support.  I am a seasonal runner and spend the long winters in the gym, these shoes are both great outdoor running and treadmill running shoes. I look forward everyday to putting these on for my gym workout. You owe it to yourself if you over-pronate to invest in an awesome pair of shoes that will keep you running. You will never be sorry if you buy these!!!
