Is this shoe suitable for speedwork or racing?

How do I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27 shoes?
Clean them with a soft brush to remove dirt, and use a mild detergent with cold water and a soft cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid machine washing or drying.
What is the weight of the Gel-Nimbus 27?
The shoe weighs approximately 265g.
What is the stack height and heel offset?
The stack height is 42.5mm in the heel and 34.5mm in the forefoot, with a heel offset of 8mm.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing different thicknesses of running socks. Loosen or tighten the laces to find a more comfortable fit. The engineered mesh upper and stretch tongue are designed for adaptability, so experiment with lacing techniques.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The midsole foams will naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (running, not heavy gym work). Proper care and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong the cushioning lifespan.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the hybrid ASICSGRIP outsole is designed for good traction, very slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For extremely wet conditions, exercise caution and adjust stride accordingly.
Upper material appears worn or stretched
The engineered mesh is designed to be lightweight and breathable. Avoid snagging the material on sharp objects. If significant stretching or tearing occurs beyond normal use, contact customer support.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using washing machines or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
