Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 is designed specifically for neutral runners who prioritize maximum comfort and plush cushioning during long-distance training sessions. By leveraging FF BLAST PLUS and PureGEL technology, these trainers provide an exceptionally soft ride on asphalt, though their high stack height may feel less responsive to runners who prefer a firm, ground-feel sensation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

What is the weight of the shoe?
The trainer weighs approximately 281g, making it lightweight for its category.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
Yes, they are excellent for long-distance training and marathon running if you prioritize comfort and impact protection over pure speed.
How do I determine the right size?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 follows standard sizing conventions; however, it is recommended to have about a half-inch of space in the toe box.
What is the drop on these trainers?
These shoes feature an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable on uneven terrain
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is engineered for asphalt; for trail or technical terrain, consider a dedicated trail shoe with better lateral support.
Upper material feels tight
Try relacing the shoes using a 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the top of the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foams. Instead, remove the sockliner and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Before your first run, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate your specific foot volume, particularly given the generous sizing options available.
