FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 are designed primarily for everyday comfort and casual wear, with good cushioning for walking and light training. For marathon running, we recommend specialized running shoes designed for high-impact performance and specific biomechanical support.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on the product page or retailer's website. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is the most accurate method.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Always follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the care section.

What is the difference between GEL and EVA in the midsole?

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a foam material that provides a base layer of cushioning and support. GEL technology is a silicone-based material inserted into specific areas (forefoot and rearfoot) of the midsole to further enhance shock absorption and create a softer landing.

What does the TRUSSTIC system do?

The TRUSSTIC system is a midfoot support structure that enhances stability by preventing excessive twisting of the shoe. It provides support and helps maintain the structural integrity of the shoe during various movements.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides good traction for everyday use. Its longevity will depend on the frequency of use, the surfaces they are used on, and proper care.

Are there other color options available for the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1?

Yes, the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings or retailer's website for the most current availability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks or checking if the lacing needs adjustment.

Reduced cushioning effect over time.

While GEL technology is durable, its cushioning properties may lessen with extensive use. For significantly degraded cushioning, consider replacing the shoes. Ensure the midsole is clean, as dirt can affect perceived cushioning.

Squeaking sound during walking.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between layers or a loose component. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the squeaking persists, consult with customer support as it might indicate a manufacturing defect.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear or damage.

Avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. If minor fraying occurs, it can sometimes be carefully trimmed. For significant tears, repair may not be feasible, and replacement might be necessary.

Cons

  • The specific colorway (Obsidian Grey Green Basil) might be polarizing.

  • Asymmetrical design might require a short adjustment period for some users.
  • Primarily designed for casual wear and light training, not intense athletic performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and support.

Compatibility: The GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 are designed for adult use and are suitable for individuals who value both style and comfort in their footwear. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic materials with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt from the EVA midsole and rubber outsole.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
