FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for wide feet?

The standard width is designed for a typical foot shape. While the engineered knit upper offers some adaptability, individuals with significantly wide feet may find a wider specific version (if available) more comfortable. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

What is the main difference between the Gel-Nimbus 27 and previous models?

The Gel-Nimbus 27 focuses on an even softer, more cushioned ride with advancements in its foam and PureGEL™ technology for enhanced comfort and smoother transitions, building on the legacy of plush cushioning.

How do I know if these trainers are right for my foot pronation?

The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe, meaning it is designed for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate). If you have a neutral gait, these are suitable. If you overpronate significantly, you might need a stability shoe.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and rotation, the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers can typically last between 300 to 500 miles of running. This can vary based on running surface, individual biomechanics, and running form.

Can I wear these for walking or everyday activities?

Yes, the high level of cushioning and comfort makes them very suitable for walking and casual wear, providing excellent support and shock absorption throughout the day.

How do I clean the engineered knit upper?

The engineered knit upper can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a very mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Adjust lacing for a more secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for running. Break in the shoes gradually over several runs.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may subtly decrease after extensive mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacement if the impact absorption feels significantly diminished.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the Hybrid ASICSGRIP™ offers good traction, wet surfaces can be challenging for any shoe. Run with caution on wet pavement or trails.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Breathable and adaptive upper for a comfortable fit.
  • Durable outsole with reliable grip.
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transitions.
  • Suitable for neutral pronation.

Cons

  • May feel too soft for runners seeking a responsive or firm ride.
  • Not ideal for speedwork or very aggressive training due to the focus on softness.
  • Color might be susceptible to showing dirt more readily than darker options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 comes ready to wear. Ensure the lacing is adjusted to your preferred comfort and security level for each run. The round toe design offers ample space for toes to splay naturally.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners. They are suitable for road running, treadmill use, and light trail running. They are not specifically designed for trail racing or highly technical terrain.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the cushioning and materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not use a dryer.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  4. Rotation: Consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning to recover between runs.
