Rubbish. I bought the 'wide' fitting ones, which are as narrow as most normal ones... the forefoot cushioning is feeble, the sole unit is narrow & feels precariously unstable, & the soles have absolutely no grip in the wet. The slanted lacing has sawed a ridge into my high arched foot, and something on the inner edge of the shoe lining has bruised my heel. What a complete waste of £75!!!

mine are fine as it happens
did you take advice from a running shop before you bought them to see if they were the right shoe for you?? let me guess......no??
My feet are very wide and the Nimbus 11 fits extremely comfortably.
I do a lot of VERY mucky XC running and have no problems coping in slippy conditions. It just takes a bit more core stability.
Highly recommended.
Edit to add that I choose to wear my nimbies for XC as I prefer their weight and flexibility to that of my offroad trainers.
My Nimbus are superb - I have a wide foot and their cushioning is wonderful!
Takes all sorts I suppose.
I think it's good to try new brands and versions as you might just find something better - and the only way you can do that is by running in them. my local shop lets me do that along the road outside and you can quickly get a feel if they are right or not.
even between version shoes can change in design and structure so again it's best to try. as an example, Asics made a big error by changing the sole design between Cumulus 9 and 10 such that the 10's didn't feel the same and for me they were uncomfy underfoot, so I changed to Brooks for a while before going for the Nimbus.
Go to a running shop that offers a 28 day return service then even when they been used for that time.
