FAQs
What type of runner is the Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 best for?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is ideal for adult male runners with a neutral gait who prioritize maximum comfort and cushioning on long-distance runs, particularly on asphalt surfaces.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The shoes feature a combination of FF BLAST PLUS + PureGEL and GEL technology for superior, lightweight cushioning and shock absorption.
Can these trainers be used for trail running?
No, these trainers are specifically designed for asphalt and hard surfaces. They are not recommended for trail running due to their sole construction and cushioning focus.

The trainers weigh approximately 281 grams.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm.
How should I clean my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
Clean by spot treating with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these suitable for someone who overpronates?
These trainers are designed for neutral runners. If you overpronate, you may need a shoe with specific stability features.
Troubleshooting
Unusual rubbing or discomfort
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can naturally decrease with significant mileage. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose and on appropriate surfaces. Consider replacing after approximately 300-500 miles of use.
Upper feels too warm
The breathable mesh aims to maximize ventilation, but individual foot perspiration varies. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. For extreme heat, consider running during cooler parts of the day.
