FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 provides substantial support and cushioning which is generally beneficial, but consult a podiatrist if you require specific arch correction.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and light cardio, the high-cushion design is less stable for heavy weightlifting where a flat, hard sole is preferred.
Is the cream colour difficult to maintain?
Lighter colours show dirt more easily; we recommend a protective water-repellent spray and prompt cleaning after runs in muddy or dusty conditions.
What is the primary difference in the 28 series?
The 28 series focuses on the balance between impact absorption and the responsive bounce provided by the upgraded FF BLAST PLUS foam.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet often swell during exercise; try loosening the laces or checking if you need a half-size larger for long-distance training.
Outsole losing traction prematurely
Check the tread for embedded rocks or debris; AHAR rubber is durable, but clearing debris ensures maximum surface contact.
Insole sliding during movement
Remove the insole, ensure the interior floor of the shoe is clean and dry, and re-seat the insole firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers, pair them with moisture-wicking running socks to enhance the breathability provided by the mesh upper. When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning materials over time. To clean, remove loose debris with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as these can compromise the integrity of the foam and the structure of the mesh. If the shoes become wet, air-dry them naturally by removing the insoles and stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture.
