Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking maximum softness and lightness for long-distance running on asphalt surfaces. Key benefits include advanced cushioning with GEL technology and FF BLAST PLUS +, a lighter, more breathable upper for enhanced comfort, and a smooth running experience. A potential consideration is the 8mm drop, which may require adjustment for runners accustomed to lower drops.

FAQs
Who is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 best suited for?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is ideal for adult female runners looking for maximum softness and comfort, especially for long-distance running and daily training on asphalt.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
It utilizes a combination of FF BLAST PLUS + and PureGEL technology for superior shock absorption and a plush feel.
Can I use these shoes for marathon training?
Yes, their design prioritizes comfort and cushioning over long distances, making them suitable for marathon training.
What type of surface are these trainers designed for?
They are optimized for asphalt and road running surfaces.
What is the heel-to-forefoot drop?
The drop is 8 mm.
How should I clean my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and air dry them away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for overpronators?
No, these are neutral shoes, best suited for runners with a neutral gait. They do not offer specific motion control features for overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure across the foot. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct or if the shoe shape does not suit your foot. Consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Cushioning materials naturally compress with use. If the shoes feel significantly less cushioned, it may be time to consider replacement, especially if you have accumulated high mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Upper material feels restrictive
The mesh upper is designed to be breathable and conform to the foot. Ensure laces are not over-tightened. If the shoe is fundamentally too narrow for your foot, a wider size option might be necessary.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is optimized for asphalt. For improved traction on wet surfaces, ensure you run at a moderate pace and be cautious. These shoes are not designed for maximum grip in wet conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning for maximum comfort on long runs.
- Lightweight design reduces fatigue over distance.
- Breathable upper keeps feet cool and dry.
- Smooth transitions enhance running efficiency.
- Durable construction suitable for regular training.
Cons
- May be too soft for runners seeking a firmer ride.
- The 8mm drop might require an adaptation period for some runners.
- Primarily designed for asphalt, performance on other surfaces may vary.
- Higher midsole stack might feel less stable for runners needing maximum ground feel.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear these shoes with performance running socks for best results.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed as a neutral shoe type, suitable for runners with a neutral foot strike. They are optimized for asphalt surfaces and are best used for training and maximum comfort. While compatible with most running apparel, avoid using them for activities requiring lateral support or aggressive traction, such as court sports or intense cross-training.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged compression, such as stacking heavy items on top of them.
