Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a high-performance shoe that prioritizes long-distance comfort and impact absorption.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit of the Gel-Nimbus 28 is true to size, but the engineered mesh provides some natural stretch to accommodate various foot shapes.
Can I use these for HIIT workouts?
While the cushioning is excellent for running, they are primarily designed for forward motion; for lateral-heavy HIIT, a more stable, flatter trainer may be preferred.
How long should the foam last?
Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the stock insole can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Are these waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.
Should I size up for running?
Many runners prefer a half-size larger than their casual shoes to allow for foot swelling during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on corners
Ensure the laces are secured snugly to lock the midfoot in place, or consider a runner's loop lacing technique to improve heel security.
Upper material becoming stiff
Wipe away salt buildup from sweat with a damp cloth, as dried sweat can harden the mesh fibers over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, begin by loosening the laces fully to accommodate your foot volume before tying. These trainers are designed for standard road surfaces; avoid using them on jagged rocks or mud, as the outsole pattern is optimized for pavement and gym flooring. To care for your shoes, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after every run. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash them with mild soap and cold water. Never machine wash or machine dry the trainers, as extreme heat can degrade the foam integrity and break down the adhesive layers. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
