Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Heel slipping while running
Use a 'runner's loop' or lock-lacing technique to secure the heel cup more firmly.
Outsole debris collection
Regularly inspect the tread grooves and use a dull tool to gently pry out trapped pebbles or glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumbs-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after runs. If they become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the upper materials.
- Rotation: Allow the cushioning material to fully decompress for 24 hours between runs if you exercise daily.
