Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is a neutral trainer. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, consider using a custom orthotic insole.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are excellent for treadmill work, the high-cushioned platform is not ideal for heavy lifting where a stable, flat base is required.
How many miles do these typically last?
Depending on running style and surface, the Gel-Nimbus 28 generally maintains its structural integrity for 300 to 500 miles.
Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?
Yes, they fit true to size, but consider sizing up by a half size if you prefer extra room for foot expansion on long runs.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
ASICS generally uses synthetic materials for the mesh and foam, but specific manufacturing details can vary; please check the product box for material certifications.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of premature foam compression
Rotate your shoes to give the midsole foam 24-48 hours to decompress and return to its original shape.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton, which traps perspiration.
Slipping heel during runs
Try the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly against the heel collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe to accommodate foot swelling during runs.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the foam properties.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the mesh and degrade the adhesive.
- Rotation: If running daily, rotate with another pair of shoes to allow the foam compression set to fully recover between uses.
