FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 best for?
These trainers are ideal for adult female runners seeking maximum softness and comfort, particularly for long-distance running and general training on asphalt surfaces. They are best suited for those with a neutral foot strike.
How does the PureGEL technology benefit my run?
PureGEL technology, along with FF BLAST PLUS foam, provides enhanced softness and shock absorption. This helps to reduce impact on your joints and offers a smoother, more comfortable stride, especially over long distances.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 is designed primarily for road running on asphalt. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not specifically designed for the varied terrain and debris found on trails, and may not provide adequate grip or protection for such surfaces.
What is the drop of the Gel-Nimbus 28?
The shoes have an 8 mm drop, meaning there is an 8 mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This is a common and balanced drop that suits many runners.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
For optimal cushioning and support, it is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers). However, this can vary based on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 are specifically designed for long-distance training and max comfort, making them an excellent choice for marathon running.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28?
Clean them by brushing off loose dirt and wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or model.
Reduced cushioning over time
This is normal wear and tear. The lifespan of cushioning depends on mileage and impact. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles for optimal performance.
Feet feeling hot or sweaty
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The breathable mesh is designed for ventilation, but very humid conditions or non-breathable socks can contribute to heat.
Soles showing excessive wear
Check if you are running primarily on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt, which can accelerate wear. Ensure your gait is neutral and not causing uneven wear patterns.

They are not specifically designed for trail running or for runners requiring significant stability support.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the exterior. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the cushioning and materials. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to dry completely before wearing.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or sealed containers, as this can trap moisture.
