Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult male runners seeking a supportive and comfortable trainer for distance running. The key benefit is the GEL cushioning for impact absorption, offering performance guaranteed. A potential caveat is that these are a reintroduction of a 2007 design, so fit and feel may differ from modern equivalents. The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10.1 features include leather uppers with mesh inserts, a low padded collar, and a durable rubber outsole, originally designed for neutral and supinated runners.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 best suited for?
The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 was initially designed for neutral and supinated runners, making it ideal for those who do not excessively pronate or supinate.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10.1 trainers?
Clean the trainers using a damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the leather and mesh. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Is the GEL cushioning still effective after many years?
While the GEL cushioning is durable, its optimal performance may decrease with prolonged and heavy use. For best results, maintain the shoes and consider replacement if cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus series is known for its cushioning and support, making it suitable for long-distance training and marathon running, especially for neutral runners.
What does 'reintroduced' mean for this shoe model?
It means ASICS has brought back a popular design from a previous era (first released in 2007) with updated materials or colorways, while retaining the core characteristics of the original model.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product information does not specify width options. It is recommended to try them on or check for available wide (2E, 4E) sizing if needed, although this specific model is listed in a standard UK 12.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity, but its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry; moisture can affect cushioning. For significantly worn-out cushioning, consider replacing the shoes.
Discomfort in the heel or arch
Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for enhanced arch support or heel cushioning, compatible with the neutral running profile of the Gel-Nimbus 10.1.
