The Gel-Nimbus 26 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize comfort and cushioning. It's suitable for everyday training, long-distance runs, and marathon running.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even pressure distribution across the foot. The engineered knit upper may require a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Cushioning materials naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If performance has significantly degraded, it may be time to consider replacing them after considerable mileage.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the ASICSGRIP™ outsole offers good traction, all shoes have limitations on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Run with caution and be mindful of your footing in such conditions.
