FAQs
Are the Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 suitable for running?
While they feature modern cushioning technology, the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 is primarily designed for everyday wear and comfort, not for specialized running performance. For dedicated running, consider Asics models specifically engineered for that purpose.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the material.
What is the Trusstic System®?
The Trusstic System® is a plastic component located in the midfoot sole that provides stability and helps to control pronation, adding structural integrity to the shoe without the weight of traditional rigid construction.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is the preferred method.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the primary upper material is breathable mesh and textile, which is not waterproof. They offer breathability but limited protection against wet conditions.
What does the 'retro sport style' mean?
This refers to the design incorporating elements and aesthetics from athletic footwear popular in the late 2000s, combined with contemporary design trends and technology.
What is the difference between Gel-Nimbus 10.1 and other Gel-Nimbus models?
The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 specifically references a style with late 2000s retro design cues. Other Gel-Nimbus models may feature more current designs and potentially updated cushioning or support technologies tailored for performance running.
Troubleshooting
Slight initial stiffness
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will soften with use.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size and width. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support features are suitable for your foot type. Consult a footwear specialist if needed.
Mesh upper feels too ventilated in cold weather
These shoes are designed for breathability. For colder conditions, consider wearing thicker socks or choosing a shoe with more insulation.
Outer sole losing grip
Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean it. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoe may need replacement.
