Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe designed for adult runners seeking a high-performance balance between cloud-like comfort and responsive energy return. Ideal for both daily training sessions and long-distance races, this model provides excellent cushioning, though runners who prefer a firm, minimal ground-feel may find the high-stack foam slightly isolating from the road surface.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road and synthetic track surfaces. While they can handle light gravel paths, they are not intended for technical, uneven trails.
How many miles can I expect these to last?
Most runners find that the cushioning properties remain optimal for 300 to 500 miles, depending on gait and surface.
Are these shoes true to size?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 generally follows standard athletic sizing. If you prefer extra room for foot swelling during long races, some runners size up by a half size.
How do I wash these trainers?
Hand wash with a soft brush and mild detergent. Never use a washing machine or dryer.
Are these appropriate for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus is a neutral shoe. If you have severe overpronation, you may require a dedicated stability shoe or custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel cup more firmly around the ankle.
Foam appearing compressed after a run
This is normal; allow the shoes to sit in a dry, ventilated area for 24 hours to let the foam cells recover their original shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional impact absorption from high-quality midsole foam
- Versatile performance for both speed work and recovery runs
- Lightweight construction despite high cushioning levels
- Durable materials designed for high-mileage durability
Cons
- High stack height may feel unstable on uneven trail surfaces
- Not intended for runners requiring significant arch-support or stability control
- The plush feel may reduce tactile ground feedback for some users
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for 24 hours between runs if you train daily. The shoes are compatible with standard aftermarket orthotics if needed, provided the original sockliner is removed first. For cleaning, wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives.
