FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Gel-Nimbus 27?
The main benefit is its exceptional cushioning and shock absorption, provided by Rearfoot PureGEL™ technology and FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam, which minimizes joint impact and enhances comfort over long distances.
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
Yes, while prioritizing comfort, the responsive cushioning and lightweight design make them suitable for training runs and even longer-distance races where comfort is key.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel offset is 8mm, which is a moderate drop often favored for a balanced feel between heel and forefoot cushioning.
How do I know if this size (UK 11) is right for me?
This is a UK size 11. It's recommended to try them on or compare with a well-fitting shoe. Consider your foot width and any specific fit preferences. Refer to the size guide if available.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers, as it can damage the materials and affect performance. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Are these shoes good for people with plantar fasciitis?
The significant cushioning and shock absorption can be beneficial for individuals experiencing foot pain like plantar fasciitis, as it reduces stress on the heel and arch. However, individual results may vary.
What does 'ECO' in FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam signify?
The 'ECO' signifies that the foam is made with recycled materials and has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional midsole foams, aligning with ASICS's commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Loosen the laces for more room, or tighten them for a more secure fit. Ensure you are using the correct UK size for your foot.
Reduced cushioning after some use.
Ensure the midsole foam has not been compressed by excessive heat or improper storage. For very heavy use, cushioning may naturally decrease over time; consider replacement after significant mileage.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
While the ASICSGRIP™ outsole provides good traction, extreme wet conditions can still reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very slippery conditions, exercise extra caution.
