Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, while optimized for running, their advanced cushioning and comfortable design make them suitable for casual, everyday wear.

How do I know if I have the right size?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug but not tight, with no heel sliver or pinching.

Can I use these for trail running?

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 features a HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole designed primarily for road surfaces. For technical or muddy trails, dedicated trail running shoes would offer better traction and protection.

What is the main benefit of PureGEL technology?

PureGEL technology in the heel is designed to provide enhanced shock absorption upon impact, contributing to softer landings and reducing stress on your joints.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (or 480-800 kilometers), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.

Is the engineered knit upper waterproof?

The engineered knit upper is designed for breathability and comfort, not waterproofing. It will allow air to pass through but is not designed to repel water.

Troubleshooting

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for durability, extreme wet conditions can still reduce grip; proceed with caution.

The knit upper feels too snug.

The engineered knit is designed to adapt. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider if this is the correct size or fit for your foot.

Heel feels stiff initially.

The PureGEL technology may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short walks or runs initially to allow them to soften and conform to your heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for road running and general fitness training. They are compatible with most athletic socks.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
  2. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources.
  5. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
