Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 running trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking maximum cushioning and a responsive, cloud-like feel during daily training or long-distance runs. Featuring advanced PureGEL technology and lightweight FF BLAST PLUS foam, these shoes excel at impact absorption and comfort; however, users should note that the high-cushion profile may feel less "ground-connected" for those who prefer minimal or racing-flat style footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is a neutral cushioning shoe, making it ideal for most runners; however, if you require specific arch support, consult with a podiatrist regarding the use of custom orthotics.
How long should these trainers last?
Generally, you can expect between 400 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and running form.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the cushioning properties. Please hand-wash only.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered knit is designed for high breathability, so it will allow water to penetrate if running in heavy rain.
How do I know which size to pick?
It is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern such as a window lacing technique to relieve pressure on the midfoot area.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Use the extra top eyelet to create a runner's loop, which tightens the heel lockdown.
Outer sole shows premature wear
Check your running gait to ensure you are not dragging your feet; also ensure you are not using the road-specific sole on abrasive trail surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional impact protection and softness
- Highly breathable knit upper construction
- Reliable traction on multiple surfaces
- Excellent moisture management for long runs
Cons
- Higher stack height may lack road feel for some runners
- Not intended for high-speed racing or track interval training
- Requires proper sizing due to the plush internal padding
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform two or three short 3-mile runs to allow the foam to settle and the knit upper to conform to your foot volume.
- Lacing: Utilize the top 'runner's eyelet' if you experience heel slippage during long-distance efforts to secure the ankle collar.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run. If they become muddy, hand-wash gently with mild soap and cold water. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
- Rotation: If you run more than four times a week, consider rotating these with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
