FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 best for?
These trainers are ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum comfort and cushioning, particularly for long-distance training on asphalt.
How much cushioning do these shoes offer?
They feature advanced cushioning with FF BLAST PLUS + and PureGEL technology, offering a substantial 42.5 mm heel and 34.5 mm forefoot midsole height for superior shock absorption.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is specifically designed for asphalt surfaces. While they might offer some grip on light trails, they are not optimized for rugged terrain and may wear out faster.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm, which is a standard drop that provides a balanced feel for most runners.
How do I clean my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the weight of the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 weighs approximately 281 grams.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is designed as a neutral shoe. Runners who significantly overpronate may benefit from stability-focused footwear.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is normal as the shoe adapts to your foot. Wear for short periods initially and gradually increase duration.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Check for debris in the midsole grooves. For significant loss of cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement.
Feet feel warm during runs
While the mesh is breathable, prolonged high-intensity runs in very warm weather can still lead to warmth. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking.
