FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-Nimbus 10.1 trainers are designed with excellent cushioning for comfort and support during everyday wear and light activities. For marathon running, we recommend models specifically engineered for high-performance, long-distance running that offer advanced stability and energy return features.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology?

The GEL™ Technology is strategically placed within the midsole to provide exceptional shock absorption. It helps to dampen impact during the landing phase of your stride, reducing stress on your feet and joints.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively. Trying them on later in the day, when feet are typically slightly larger, can help ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The rubber outsole provides decent traction, but the synthetic and leather upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles. It's best to avoid wet conditions to protect the materials.

What is the TRUSSTIC™ system?

The TRUSSTIC™ system is a structural component located in the midfoot of the shoe. It helps to enhance stability by preventing excessive twisting of the sole while maintaining the shoe's structural integrity.

How often should I clean my GEL-Nimbus 10.1 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, particularly after heavy use or if they become visibly dirty. Regular light cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and material condition.

What is the difference between this model and newer Asics trainers?

The GEL-Nimbus 10.1 reimagines a classic from 2008, focusing on retro aesthetics and the cushioning technology available at that time. Newer models often incorporate updated materials, more advanced cushioning systems, and contemporary design trends for enhanced performance and lighter weight.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to air being trapped between layers. Try removing the insole and placing it back firmly, or check if the laces are too tight, causing friction.

Discomfort in the arch area

Ensure you have the correct size and width. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support, as the standard insole may not provide sufficient support for your specific foot type.

Loss of cushioning over time

The EVA foam and GEL™ cushioning will naturally compress with extended use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after significant wear, typically 300-500 miles of running or regular daily use.

Slightly tight fit

Try wearing them with thinner socks or loosening the laces. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Avoid machine washing or excessive heat to dry, as this can shrink materials.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Durable construction with quality materials

  • Good stability and support features
  • Breathable upper for improved comfort

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, suitable for individuals with standard foot shapes. The UK size 10.5 is a common fit, but individual foot width and arch may influence comfort.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic and leather parts with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to clean the EVA foam and rubber outsole. Remove any mud or debris carefully.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers 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.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash or machine wash them in a garment bag.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
