Full details

Featuring advanced PureGEL and FF BLAST plus technology, these shoes provide a plush, cloud-like landing experience suitable for daily training, though runners seeking a minimalist or ultra-rigid racing shoe may find them too soft for high-speed intervals.

FAQs

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The engineered knit upper offers a flexible fit, but if you have notably wide feet, you may find the standard width snug and might consider a half-size increase or checking for specific wide-width availability.

Can I use these for trail running?

While the HYBRID ASICSGRIP is durable, these are optimized for road surfaces. The soft, high-stack cushioning is not designed for the uneven terrain and lateral instability found on technical trails.

How often should I replace them?

Generally, running shoes like the GEL-Nimbus 28 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, weight, and stride intensity.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

The GEL-Nimbus 28 is a neutral cushioning shoe. While it provides excellent overall support, it does not feature specific medial posting for severe overpronation.

Are they waterproof?

No, the engineered knit upper is designed for breathability and airflow, meaning it will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle or run in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long run

Feet naturally swell during exercise; consider unlacing the top eyelets slightly or ensure you have a thumb-width of space in the toe box before you start.

Knit upper shows debris accumulation

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust or dry mud from the knit fabric after every few runs to maintain breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and comfortable underfoot feel
  • Easy to put on thanks to the updated pull tab and heel design
  • Highly breathable knit upper keeps feet cool
  • Durable outsole provides reliable grip for daily training
  • Versatile cushioning suitable for both short and long distances

Cons

  • High stack height may feel too soft for some sprinters
  • Not intended for technical trail or off-road use
  • More substantial weight compared to lightweight racing flats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your GEL-Nimbus 28s, utilize the integrated tongue loop and pull tab when putting them on to maintain the integrity of the heel structure. For sizing, these follow standard adult female UK sizing; if you typically wear thicker running socks, you may consider ensuring the fit feels snug but not constricting across the forefoot.

Care instructions:

  • Clean the exterior by wiping with a soft, damp cloth.
  • If the shoes become soaked, remove the sockliner and air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the foam cushioning.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the engineered knit and technical foam materials.
