FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 25 is highly recommended for marathon running due to its maximum cushioning, which helps reduce fatigue and impact over long distances.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?
While they offer excellent cushioning, their design is optimized for forward motion on roads. For gym workouts that involve lateral movements or heavy lifting, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more suitable.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. Allow to air dry completely.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Nimbus 25 and other ASICS models?
The Gel-Nimbus 25 is characterized by its maximum cushioning, making it one of ASICS' most comfortable options for neutral runners, particularly for long distances. Other models might offer more responsiveness or stability depending on their specific design.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during runs, which means they will allow water to penetrate if exposed to heavy rain or puddles.
How does the PureGEL technology work?
PureGEL technology is a softer, more flexible version of ASICS' signature GEL technology. It is strategically placed in the midsole to provide enhanced shock absorption and a smoother ride, reducing stress on joints.
What does 'ECO' in FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam mean?
The 'ECO' designation indicates that the foam is made with a significant percentage of recycled materials and produced using a more environmentally friendly process, reducing carbon emissions and water usage compared to conventional foams.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, focusing on even pressure across the foot. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The cushioning materials naturally compress with use. For optimal performance, consider replacing running shoes every 300-500 miles. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat which can degrade the foam.
Upper material feels warm or lacks breathability
While designed for breathability, very hot conditions or intense activity may still cause warmth. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or in direct sunlight for extended periods, which can degrade materials.
- Use: Rotate your running shoes if possible. Wearing different pairs on alternate runs can help extend the lifespan of each shoe by allowing the cushioning to recover.
