FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ASICS Gel Nimbus 28?

The primary benefit is unparalleled comfort through advanced cushioning, provided by FF BLAST PLUS foam and PureGEL technology, making it ideal for long runs and reducing impact.

How does the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole perform?

The HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole combines durable ASICSGRIP rubber and AHARPLUS materials to deliver advanced traction on various road surfaces and ensure long-lasting wear.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The engineered knit upper offers some adaptability, but the standard fit is designed for average width feet. For wider feet, it's recommended to try them on or look for specific wide-fit models if available.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Gel Nimbus 28 is primarily designed for road running. While the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole offers good traction, it may not be suitable for challenging or technical trail terrain.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Gel Nimbus 28?

The heel offset is 8mm (Stack height: 43.5mm at the heel - 35.5mm at the forefoot).

How much does the shoe weigh?

The ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 weighs approximately 281g.

Are there any sustainable aspects to this shoe?

Yes, a significant portion of the upper material (at least 75%) is made with recycled content, and the sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that lowers water usage and carbon emissions compared to conventional methods.

How should I clean my ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 trainers?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid harsh detergents.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Consider if the size is correct or if the engineered knit upper needs a short break-in period.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Ensure the FF BLAST PLUS foam and PureGEL technology are not compromised. Check for any debris or damage in the midsole. If the shoe has significant mileage, consider replacement as cushioning naturally degrades.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole offers good traction, extreme conditions can still pose a risk. Ensure your running form is stable and be cautious on very slick surfaces. The outsole is designed for enhanced grip, but no outsole is entirely slip-proof.

Excessive moisture inside the shoe

The OrthoLite X55 sockliner provides moisture management, but prolonged exposure to sweat can saturate it. Ensure shoes are aired out properly after each use. Consider moisture-wicking socks for added benefit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 requires no specific setup; simply lace them up and go. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure but comfortable fit, not too tight to restrict circulation, and not too loose to cause slippage.

Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for road running. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. For optimal performance and comfort, ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your Gel Nimbus 28 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For the knit upper, gently brush away dirt with a soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  2. Insoles: The OrthoLite X55 sockliner can be removed for separate airing or cleaning if needed. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
  4. Usage: While the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole is durable, excessive use on rough terrain or abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. It is recommended to use these primarily for their intended purpose of road running.
