FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 best for?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is ideal for adult female runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for long-distance training on asphalt surfaces. It is best suited for neutral runners.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Gel-Nimbus 28 is designed specifically for road and asphalt running. The outsole and cushioning are optimized for these surfaces and would not provide adequate grip or protection on trails.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The shoes utilize a combination of FF BLAST PLUS + and PureGEL technology for superior softness and impact absorption.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, it is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8 mm.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?
These are neutral shoes and may not offer sufficient support for runners who overpronate. Runners needing pronation control might consider ASICS stability models.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28?
Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher dirt, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of running, or when you notice a significant reduction in shock absorption.
Feet feel too warm during runs
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. While the mesh is breathable, extreme conditions or activity levels might still lead to warmth. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Gel-Nimbus 28 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed as a neutral shoe, best suited for runners with a neutral gait. They are optimized for asphalt and road running surfaces. They are not recommended for trail running or for runners who require significant stability or motion control features.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
- Rotation: For optimal lifespan and performance, consider rotating your Gel-Nimbus 28 with another pair of running shoes, allowing them to fully dry and recover between uses.
