Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 is designed for neutral runners seeking a high-cushion, premium trainer for daily road miles and long-distance training. Its primary benefit is the combination of advanced GEL impact absorption and responsive FF BLAST PLUS foam, which minimizes leg fatigue over extended periods. A potential caveat for some users is the focus on plush comfort over a stripped-back, minimalist feel, which adds a slight weight profile compared to dedicated racing flats.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 28 suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers a good degree of flexibility, but if you have a wide foot, you may want to ensure you are wearing the correct width option if available.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running, their high cushioning stack height makes them less ideal for weightlifting where a stable, flat base is preferred.
How many miles do these shoes typically last?
Depending on your running surface and gait, most runners get between 400 to 500 miles before the midsole cushioning starts to lose its effectiveness.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature an engineered mesh upper designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.
Do I need to break these in?
The cushioning is designed to feel comfortable immediately, though many runners prefer taking them on a few shorter walks or runs to allow the foam to adapt to their foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Nimbus 28, it is important to allow the midsole foam to recover by rotating your trainers if you run daily. Avoid machine washing or drying the shoes, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning properties and adhesive bonds. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Allow them to air-dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. For sizing, ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
