This review is geared toward the Nimbus12 faithful like myself. If the 12s are your dream running shoe, then you're likely to be disappointed with the 14. I tried them on at the store and they felt great then, but there is something different about them that just doesn't work. I have scoliosis, so one hip is higher than the other causing pronation in the left foot and supination in the right. Makes finding the right shoes difficult. But the 12s hugged my feet to perfection and I never had any pain. Until of course, I literally ran them into the ground and was forced to find a new pair.

The part of the Asics logo on the outside of the shoe rubs my foot funny and I have to wear thicker socks. I tend to get a blister on the bottom of a toe on 6+ mile runs in the 14s. The cushioning is not up to par with the 12 and the toebox is defintiely smaller. They work alright for shorter runs, but I just don't feel I got my money's worth, especially since the 12s cost less. If you can find the 12s in your size, stock up now and pass on this very poor "upgrade".
