Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for overpronation?
No, the Gel-Nimbus 28 is specifically designed for neutral runners and those with underpronation.
How do I clean the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Air dry naturally.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the internal sockliner is typically removable to accommodate personalized orthotic inserts.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 generally fits true to size for standard adult athletic footwear. Always refer to your measured UK size for the best result.
What is the primary benefit of PureGEL?
PureGEL is integrated into the midsole to provide enhanced shock absorption and a softer landing, protecting joints from impact.
Are these suitable for wet road conditions?
The ASICSGRIP rubber outsole is engineered to provide reliable traction, though users should always exercise caution on slick or icy surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while running
Adjust the lace tightness or consider a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to ensure the ankle collar is snug.
Outer sole showing premature wear
Inspect your running surface and gait; ensure the shoe is being used primarily on road surfaces rather than abrasive terrain.
Discomfort at the ankle collar
Ensure the collar is not folded over upon entry; smooth out the fabric around the heel to prevent pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the heel tab outward while sliding your foot in to ensure the sock-like collar is properly seated around your ankle. Secure the laces to a tension that feels firm but does not restrict circulation. To maintain the integrity of the cushioning and the outsole, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources. If they become dirty, remove excess mud with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them at room temperature; avoid placing them in a clothes dryer or near radiators.
