Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe designed for runners who prioritize maximum comfort and shock absorption during long-distance training. Utilizing advanced PureGEL and FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, it offers a soft, responsive platform that reduces joint impact, making it ideal for daily training or recovery runs; however, runners seeking a lightweight, low-profile racing flat may find the plush stack height less suitable for speed-oriented workouts.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 good for flat feet?
While it is a neutral shoe, the plush cushioning provides a supportive base that many runners with various arch types find comfortable.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These are primarily designed for forward-motion running; for lateral gym movements, a flatter cross-training shoe is generally recommended.
How many miles do these typically last?
Generally, running shoes in this category provide optimal cushioning and support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed to follow standard athletic sizing, though some runners prefer a half-size larger to accommodate natural foot swelling during long runs.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for maximum airflow and is not treated for water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces across the midfoot or try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method to relieve pressure.
Heel slipping while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the rearfoot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning for high-mileage comfort
- Effective impact reduction on joints
- Soft, responsive energy return
- Secure and comfortable upper fit
- Sustainable foam composition
Cons
- Not intended for high-speed racing
- Higher stack height may feel unstable to some on uneven terrain
- Softer foam may compress more quickly than firmer alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27, begin by adjusting the laces to match your foot's natural volume. Because the collar is highly padded, ensure your heel is seated firmly against the back of the shoe before tying.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if the surface becomes soiled.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent foam degradation.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat and agitation can compromise the integrity of the PureGEL units.
- Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to fully decompress between runs, extending the life of the cushioning.
