FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is designed for everyday comfort and support, drawing inspiration from retro running styles. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance marathon running and may lack the advanced features of modern, dedicated running shoes.
What is the GEL technology in these shoes?
GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system developed by ASICS. In the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1, it's incorporated into the forefoot and rearfoot to absorb shock effectively and provide a softer landing during impact.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not constricting. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Ensure your heel doesn't slip excessively.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may cause discomfort and could affect the materials if not dried properly afterward.
What does the TRUSSTIC system do?
The TRUSSTIC system is a plastic component located in the midfoot area of the outsole. It helps to provide stability by reducing the tendency of the shoe to twist, offering support to the arch of the foot.
How often should I clean my ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10.1?
Clean your shoes as needed, especially after significant exposure to dirt or mud. Regular spot cleaning of minor marks will help maintain their appearance and longevity.
Are there other colorways available?
Yes, the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 series often comes in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow
Ensure you have the correct size. If still tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider a shoe stretcher designed for trainers. The mesh upper may offer some slight give over time.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or moisture. Try to ensure the shoes are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole might help if the sound is internal.
Dirt on the mesh upper is difficult to remove
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected area. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are suitable for various casual activities. They pair well with athleisure wear, jeans, or shorts.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap solution with water and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt on the sole, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
