Asics Nimbus questions

[jnibean]

If you run in Asics Nimbus, which version do you have?  I went to my LRS today because my Mizuno Wave Inspires are on their last leg.  I was refitted and apparently my pronation has corrected itself and I no longer need stability shoes.  The person helping me had me try the men's version (they didn't have any women's in stock big enough for my size 12 feet), and they were too wide, but otherwise I loved them.  Any major differences between the 15, 16 and 17?  I'm seeing all three on Amazon and am not sure which to get.  Thanks!

I am perhaps a bad person to ask because I've been running in Nimbus 14s since maybe spring 2013. I tried a pair of 15s somewhere in the middle, developed an Achilles issue, blamed it on the shoes, ran back to my beloved 14s, and was fine again all through 2014. After that I hoarded 14s before they were gone for good. I was on my last pair when I got pregnant. I'm planning to start from scratch with a new shoe fitting when I get back to running after baby, because I don't trust the 15s et seq. I'd try to find the ones you're considering buying in store, or buy from a place with easy returns, so you can make sure whatever you're trying really works for you.

Thank you, that helps!  I will see if I can hunt some down somewhere.

Not me, but my sister has run in them for years and tells me they haven't made any major changes since like the 9 or 10s, FWIW.

Thank you!  I found some 16s on Amazon for $63 I'll give them a shot!

I'm still running in Nimbus 14s. I know. I'm due to get a new pair soon, but cannot bear to part with these.
