FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 trainers are designed primarily for comfort and support for everyday activities and walking. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized features required for serious or long-distance running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.

What does the TRUSSTIC system do?

The TRUSSTIC system is a plastic component located in the midfoot area of the sole. It is designed to increase stability and support by controlling the torsional rigidity of the shoe.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after getting them dirty. Regular spot cleaning and occasional full cleaning will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

What is the main difference from previous Nimbus models?

The GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 specifically revives and reinterprets the design and technology of the 2008 model, featuring a distinct retro aesthetic combined with updated cushioning and support systems.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness initially

New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Discomfort on one side

Ensure laces are tied evenly. If the issue persists, check for any manufacturing defects or consider the possibility of needing a different shoe size or width.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA midsole and GEL technology naturally compress with use. For prolonged optimal cushioning, adhere to care instructions and consider replacement after significant wear.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides traction, it may be less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

  • Breathable materials keep feet cool.
  • Good support features for stability.
  • Durable construction for longevity.

Cons

  • The specific retro aesthetic might not suit everyone's taste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you tie the laces securely for a proper fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult use, suitable for various casual activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the textile, mesh, and synthetic materials with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush to remove dirt from the EVA foam and rubber sole. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
