FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-Nimbus series has its roots in performance running, the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 has been 'redefined for today’s community of sneakerheads.' This means it's primarily designed for comfort, style, and casual wear, rather than high-performance or competitive running. For serious running, you might consider a more contemporary ASICS performance model.
What is the GEL™ Cushioning technology?
ASICS GEL™ technology involves strategically placed gel inserts, typically in the heel and forefoot, that absorb shock during impact and provide exceptional cushioning. This helps to reduce the stress on your feet and joints, enhancing overall comfort.
How does the TRUSSTIC System benefit me?
The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability and reduce the overall weight of the sole unit, helping to control torsion and maintain the shoe's structural integrity during movement.
Is the sizing true to size for the Gel-Nimbus 10.1?
Generally, ASICS shoes are considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend referring to the ASICS size guide and, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 features an open mesh design which provides breathability but offers limited water resistance. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, as water can penetrate the mesh and leather materials. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What does 'asymmetric upper' mean?
The asymmetric upper design means that the shoe's top section is shaped to closely follow the natural contours and bone structure of your foot, rather than being perfectly symmetrical. This design aims to provide a more adaptive and comfortable fit, reducing pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size; ASICS sizing can sometimes vary. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Allow for a break-in period, as leather materials can soften with wear.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder underneath it to reduce friction. Check for any loose parts in the outsole.
Shoes getting dirty quickly or hard to clean.
For regular maintenance, wipe down the shoes after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner designed for both leather and mesh, following the product instructions carefully. Preventative sprays can also help repel water and stains.
Foot odor developing inside the shoes.
Ensure your shoes are fully airing out between wears. Use moisture-wicking socks. Consider using shoe deodorizers, baking soda, or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Replacing insoles periodically can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10.1 is straightforward. Simply unlace, insert your foot, and lace them up to your preferred snugness. Ensure ample space at the toe for comfort and proper foot movement.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for adults and feature a unisex appeal, making them suitable for a wide range of individuals. The UK size 7.5 ensures a specific fit, and the green color family with leather material makes them a versatile addition to various casual and athleisure wardrobes.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Gel-Nimbus 10.1:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the leather sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the mesh areas, a soft brush and a mixture of water and gentle detergent can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees can help maintain freshness.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Stuffing them with newspaper when not in use can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 10.1 in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials.
