FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-nimbus 28 best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for neutral runners seeking a balance of cushioning and support for daily training and long-distance running on road surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without pressure points.
Can I wear these for trail running?
The Gel-nimbus 28 is primarily designed for road running. While the outsole offers some grip, it may not provide sufficient traction or protection for technical or muddy trails.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-nimbus 28 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a reduction in cushioning.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-nimbus 28 trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, which means they will allow water to pass through.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is strategically placed within the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption during impact, helping to reduce stress on your joints and improve comfort during runs.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in. Check that socks are appropriate for running.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may naturally decrease with significant mileage. Consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on usage and running surface.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good grip, extremely wet or polished surfaces can reduce traction. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
