FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 suitable for people with flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus series is generally designed for neutral pronation. Individuals with flat feet who require significant arch support might benefit from consulting with a running specialist or exploring stability-focused shoe models.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
While comfortable for light gym activities, the Gel-Nimbus 28 are primarily optimized for running. For activities requiring lateral support or specific grip, dedicated gym shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Nimbus and other ASICS series?
The Gel-Nimbus series is ASICS' flagship neutral running shoe, renowned for its maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for long distances. Other series might focus more on stability, speed, or trail running.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). Replacement frequency depends on your running mileage, intensity, and running style.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
These trainers are designed for road running and are not ideal for hiking. Hiking requires specialized shoes with more rugged outsoles and ankle support for varied terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the materials need a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning may lose some of its responsiveness after extensive use. Ensure the shoes have not exceeded their typical lifespan for optimal performance.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 Trainers are best suited for road running and general fitness training. They are designed for neutral pronation. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically designed for trail running or court sports.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's structure and materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, away from direct sunlight.
