DS trainers probably have more stability than the Gel-Nimbus which is a more neutral type of shoe. If you want to stick to Asics you might be better off with the 2090's or what ever that line is up to in number now. What sort of mileage do you mean by high mileage? I personally have had great luck with Mizunos of different types, but running shoes are a very personal decision.

Try Vitruvians. Clearance of the older design $30. How can you lose?

I am NOT affiliated with Vitruvian, except the shoes on my and many of many family's feet.

Pony Boy,

What model were you wearing before the Nimbus? And was their a particular reason you purchased the Nimbus (ie, recommendation of sales person, etc)? Feel free to PM me, if you'd like to discuss off forum.

I also ended up with a case of plantar fasciitis after wearing the Gel-Nimbus. I'm 6"4"/210-215lbs, medium to high arches, and pretty neutral. I had been a longtime Kayano user, but had to change shoes after a re-designed version of the Kayano started giving me blisters. My local running store recommended the Nimbus. After wearing them for a couple months I started to get plantar fasciitis in my left foot. I should have changed shoes at that point, but I kept wearing the Nimbus and even bought a couple more pairs... The plantar fasciitis became chonic and I eventually decided to go back to Kayanos. Between the Kayanos and the use of a TP Massage Footballer I'm almost cured. It has taken quite a while though... I finally figured out that although the Nimbus gave me a lot of cushioning and would hold up the pounding a guy of my size gives them they don't have a high enough arch to support my foot properly.

To each his own. I like the simplicity. I hate all of that ugly useless crap on most of them. Besides, as comfortable as these are, I'd pay 4X as much for the same shoe.

I've been running in the Nimbus for several years. The latest version, I think it's the VI, is great. One of the earlier versions had a lot of heel slippage. I'm 6' and 185 and have had no problems with PF. Although, I do put superfeet in all of my running shoes as I had problems with PF 4 years ago. I also run in the Asics Landreth which is well cushioned but not quite as "substantial" (if that's a good way to put it) as the Nimbus. I feel faster in the Landreth, despite the fact I am anything but fast.

Give the Landreth a go.

could also be your mileage,,,,i am only runnning about 20 - 22 miles/week right now.
