Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. If still tight, try loosening the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-lacing them more loosely. The synthetic upper will offer some give over time.
Lack of support for pronation
The Gel-Nimbus series is generally designed for neutral pronation. If you overpronate, consider consulting a running specialist for shoes with enhanced stability features.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While durable, the GEL cushioning will naturally decrease over extensive mileage. Consider replacing your trainers after 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice a significant loss of cushioning.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, wet surfaces can always be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution.
