FAQs
Who is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 designed for?
These trainers are designed for adult male runners who prioritize maximum softness and lightness, especially for long-distance running and training sessions on asphalt surfaces. They are best suited for neutral runners.
What is the main benefit of the Gel-Nimbus 28?
The primary benefit is supreme comfort and a smooth running experience due to advanced cushioning technologies and a lightweight, breathable design, ideal for long distances.
What type of cushioning technology is used?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 utilizes FF BLAST PLUS + PureGEL cushioning for enhanced shock absorption and a soft feel.
What is the heel-to-toe drop and why is it important?
The shoe has an 8mm drop. This specification indicates the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot, influencing how the shoe feels and the biomechanics of your stride.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
No, the Gel-Nimbus 28 is specifically designed for asphalt (road) surfaces. Using them on trails may lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
What is the weight of the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28?
The trainers weigh approximately 281 grams, contributing to their lightweight feel during runs.
How do I know if this is the right shoe for my foot type?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is a neutral shoe, ideal for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward or outward. If you have concerns about pronation, consulting with a running specialist or podiatrist is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities other than running or on rough surfaces, which can degrade the midsole. Consider replacing the shoes if they have exceeded their typical lifespan (usually 300-500 miles).
Discomfort on one side of the foot
Check that the laces are tied correctly and not too tight on one side. Ensure the correct shoe size has been selected. If the issue persists, it may indicate the shoe's neutral support is not suitable for your gait.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: The Gel-Nimbus 28 is classified as a neutral shoe type, suitable for runners with a neutral pronation. It is optimized for running on asphalt surfaces. It is designed for training and maximum comfort.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can deform the shoes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp or excessively warm environments.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate between multiple pairs of running shoes to allow each pair to dry out completely and recover its cushioning between uses.
