Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a premium balance of plush cushioning and energetic responsiveness for daily training. By integrating advanced GEL technology with lightweight FF BLAST PLUS foam, these shoes provide excellent impact absorption, though runners with very specific overpronation needs may find them less supportive than dedicated stability models.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is a neutral trainer. While they offer great comfort, those with flat feet requiring stability support should ensure their orthotics are compatible.
Can I use these for trail running?
They are designed for road and pavement use; the outsole may not provide sufficient grip on loose or technical trail surfaces.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes like these should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you frequent.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the cushioning foam. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What is the primary difference between these and older models?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 focuses on an improved FF BLAST PLUS foam formulation and an updated mesh upper for better breathability and responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of restricted airflow
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot and check that no debris is trapped in the mesh.
Premature wear on the outsole
Check your running gait for heavy heel striking or excessive dragging; ensure the shoes are being used primarily on appropriate road surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you are wearing the correct size for your foot shape, allowing for a thumb-width of space in the toe box. The Gel-Nimbus 28 is compatible with most neutral orthotic insoles if you require specific arch support. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can break down the foam materials prematurely.
