Sizing is very small, very tight especially at the toes!
I'd say definitely go 1 or even 1.5 size above your Nimbus size. My Mizuno (prophecy) size is US11.5 and the Cirrus33 size is US12.5. Which's actually the first time ever I needed a US12.5 size!
UPDATE: Even US 12.5 is a bit too small for me (with orthotics). I don't know if I'm going to try size 13 (for the 1st time in my life) since it's pretty frustrating this shoe is hell narrow. I don't know why asics did that. It's a shame, such a good shoe with such weird sizing.
Asics should provide EE width for this style, the current width is ridiculously narrow.

So I bought this shoe because on Eastbay's website it was heralded as a great shoe, more cushioning, shock absorption, etc. It also said it was for people with medium to high arches. I underpronate and usually run in the asics gel nimbus and it is for people with high arches. I also have a size 16 foot, so unfortunately I can't just walk into a store and try on shoes because no one will carry that size.(Very Frustrating!!) So I ordered them and tried them on and immediately the arch support felt weird. It pushed up into my foot. I walked around the house to see if it would feel any different, but its hard to tell unless you run in them. Of course once you do that, you can't send them back. So I went for a run, and unfortunately they hurt worse while running. These shoes are definitely only for those with very, very high arches. It pushes so hard into your arch, and the rest of the shoe is to tight around your foot. The gel nimbus is much better. Guess I know for next time. If you are considering, make sure you try it on in a store, but I would stay away. Overall an ASICS letdown.
