Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 is designed for neutral runners who prioritize maximum comfort, cushioning, and impact protection during long-distance road runs or marathon training. While these trainers excel at providing a plush, stable ride for high-mileage efforts, they are less suited for runners seeking a lightweight, responsive feel for fast-paced interval sessions or competitive sprinting.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 28 suitable for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they offer good grip, they lack the rock plates and aggressive lug patterns required for technical trails.
Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?
No, the Gel-Nimbus 28 is built for neutral runners. If you overpronate, you may require a stability-focused model.
How much does the Gel-Nimbus 28 weigh?
This version is approximately 20 grams lighter than previous models, though exact weight depends on the specific shoe size.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
As a general rule, running shoes should be replaced every 400 to 600 kilometers, or when you notice significant compression in the midsole cushioning.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer extra room for long runs where feet may swell, some runners prefer to go up half a size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique to adjust tension; consider using a specialized aftermarket insole if neutral support is insufficient.
Excessive movement within the heel
Utilize the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel more securely into the redesigned heel cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Asics Gel-Nimbus 28, start by checking that the shoe is appropriate for your arch type; this model is specifically built for neutral pronation. When breaking in the shoes, use them on a few shorter runs before attempting long distances to allow the engineered mesh upper to form to your foot shape.
Care instructions:
- Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally after runs in wet conditions; avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Use a soft brush to remove dried mud from the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole to maintain traction.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry the shoes, as this can degrade the foam integrity and adhesive bonds.
- Periodically check the outsole for signs of wear to ensure the grip remains effective for road safety.
