FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 28 is highly suitable for marathon training and long-distance racing due to its emphasis on sustained cushioning and comfort.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running, their high-stack cushioning makes them less ideal for weightlifting where a firm, flat base is preferred for stability.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait style.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability and will not repel water.
Does this shoe offer stability support?
The Gel-Nimbus series is categorized as a neutral trainer, providing consistent cushioning for those with a normal pronation pattern.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, or consider a slightly thinner sock.
Dirt buildup on the Cream-coloured upper
Spot clean using a specialized shoe cleaner and a soft-bristled brush immediately after use to prevent dirt from setting into the mesh fabric.
Slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel collar to your ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm your size using the standard UK adult foot sizing; these trainers typically fit true to size, but consider a half-size up if you prefer extra room in the toe box for long-distance swelling.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing them, as this can break down the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the upper mesh and rubber outsole from drying out.
