FAQs
Who is the Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 designed for?
These trainers are primarily for adult male runners who need maximum softness and comfort, especially for long-distance runs on asphalt, and who have a neutral foot strike.
What is the main benefit of the Gel-Nimbus 28?
The key benefit is the supreme comfort and lightness provided by advanced cushioning technologies (FF BLAST PLUS + PureGEL), offering a smooth and pleasant running experience.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 is specifically designed for asphalt and road surfaces. The outsole and cushioning are optimized for these conditions and would not be suitable for trails.
What does 'Neutral shoe type' mean?
A neutral shoe type is built for runners whose feet don't roll excessively inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) upon landing. They offer balanced cushioning and support.
How do I clean my Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth or a soft brush and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the weight and drop of these shoes?
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 weighs 281g and has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (500-800 km), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support, regardless of visible wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Wear with appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different model or width.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles (500-800 km) or when you notice a significant loss of comfort and support.
Upper material seems to be stretching.
The breathable upper is designed to offer a comfortable, adaptive fit. Minor stretching for a personalized feel is normal. If excessive stretching occurs, check for damage or ensure the lacing is secure.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
Asphalt-focused outsoles may have reduced grip on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution and reduce speed when running in wet conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides superior cushioning for long-distance comfort.

Cons
- Primarily suited for neutral runners.

- Heel drop of 8mm might not suit all runners.
- Midsole height (42.5mm heel) is substantial and may feel high for some.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit. It is recommended to wear these shoes with athletic socks.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male runners with a neutral foot strike. They are optimized for use on asphalt and other hard, road-like surfaces. They are not intended for trail running or highly technical terrain.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off dry dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
