FAQs

Are the GEL-NIMBUS?10.1 trainers suitable for running?

While the shoe is inspired by a running silhouette and features cushioning technology, it is primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear. For serious running, consider Asics' dedicated performance running shoe lines.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Asics or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. For UK 4, it typically corresponds to a specific foot length measurement.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features an asymmetrical mesh design for breathability, complemented by synthetic leather overlays for structure and durability.

How does the GEL-Kayano 14 sole benefit the shoe?

The GEL-Kayano 14 sole provides enhanced stability and improved cushioning compared to the original 2008 design, making the shoe more comfortable for extended daily wear.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.

What is the purpose of TRUSSTIC technology?

TRUSSTIC technology is integrated into the midsole to provide midfoot structural integrity, preventing unwanted twisting and offering enhanced stability.

What is the difference between this model and the original GEL Nimbus 10?

The GEL-NIMBUS?10.1 revives the original silhouette but incorporates the GEL-Kayano 14 sole for updated stability and cushioning, along with modern construction techniques for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Try wearing them with appropriate socks.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check if the laces are too tight.

Dirt on mesh upper

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoe. Ensure proper air drying.

Worn outsole

The outsole is designed for durability but will wear over time with regular use. Consider replacing the shoes if traction is significantly compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup out of the box; they are ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most casual attire. They are not specifically designed for or compatible with specialized athletic activities that require advanced performance features.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn stains on the mesh, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
