Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and joint protection during long-distance training. By combining PureGEL technology with FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, it offers a plush, responsive underfoot feel that minimizes impact; however, runners who prefer a firm, ground-feel shoe for high-speed interval work may find the maximalist cushioning too soft.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 good for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral trainer, meaning it provides cushioning. If you have severe overpronation, you may want to consult with a podiatrist to see if additional orthotics are needed.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes like the Nimbus should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are excellent for running and light cardio, the high-stack cushioning makes them less stable for heavy weightlifting or side-to-side agility drills.
How do I wash the mesh upper?
Spot clean the mesh with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Never put your running shoes in the washing machine or dryer.
Does the shoe fit true to size?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed with a performance fit. Most runners find they fit true to their standard UK size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure is felt, to relieve tension.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' lacing method to secure the heel more effectively.
Midsole foam feels less responsive over time
Ensure you are rotating the shoes to allow the foam 24-48 hours to recover its shape after long runs.
Pros and Cons

- Highly breathable upper keeps feet comfortable

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27, it is recommended to keep them away from direct heat sources when drying, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh upper. When selecting your size, refer to standard UK adult sizing, noting that the jacquard mesh upper provides a flexible fit. Always rotate your running shoes with another pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
