FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 best suited for?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize maximum comfort and cushioning for long-distance running and daily training on asphalt.
What is the main benefit of the Gel-Nimbus 28?
The primary benefit is its supreme softness and advanced cushioning, providing an exceptionally comfortable and smooth ride, especially over long distances.
How much cushioning do these shoes offer?
They offer significant cushioning with a heel height of 42.5 mm and a forefoot height of 34.5 mm, utilizing PureGEL and FF BLAST PLUS+ technology.
Can I use these shoes for speedwork?
While they offer excellent comfort, their design prioritizes cushioning over responsiveness, so they may not be the optimal choice for high-speed interval training or racing.
What surface are these trainers designed for?
These trainers are specifically designed for asphalt and road running surfaces.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (500-800 km), depending on usage, runner weight, and running style.
What does the 8mm drop mean?
The 8mm drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. This is a moderate drop that offers a balanced feel for many runners.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common with new running shoes. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are tied correctly without being too tight or too loose.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Running shoe cushioning degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, depending on your running style and weight.
Upper feels too warm
While the mesh is breathable, intense activity can still lead to warmth. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Clean any dirt from the mesh to ensure optimal airflow.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
