FAQs
Who is the Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 best suited for?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is best suited for adult male runners seeking maximum softness and comfort, especially for long-distance running on asphalt surfaces. They are ideal for neutral runners who do not require pronation support.
What is the primary benefit of the Gel-Nimbus 28?
The primary benefit is the supreme comfort and lightness it offers, thanks to its advanced FF BLAST PLUS + PureGEL cushioning system, which provides excellent shock absorption for a soft ride.
How do I clean my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or drying.
What is the heel drop of the Gel-Nimbus 28?
The heel drop is 8mm, offering a balanced feel for many runners.
Can these trainers be used for trail running?
While the durable rubber outsole offers good traction, these trainers are primarily designed and optimized for asphalt surfaces. They may not provide the necessary grip or protection for technical trail running.
What is the weight of the Gel-Nimbus 28?
The trainers weigh approximately 281g, contributing to their lightweight feel for long-distance comfort.
What is the midsole height?
The midsole height is 42.5mm at the heel and 34.5mm at the forefoot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Try adjusting the lacing system to find a more comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider the fit and intended use for your foot type.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The cushioning technology is designed for longevity but will naturally wear down with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of running, or when you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all shoes, grip can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 requires no specific setup. Simply try them on and adjust the lacing to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed as neutral shoes, making them compatible with a wide range of runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronate) or outward (supinate).
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For the interior, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution if needed.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to remove the insoles and air them out periodically.
- Usage: While designed for asphalt, avoid excessive use on rough terrain or in very wet conditions to preserve the outsole and cushioning integrity.
