Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe engineered for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and joint protection during long-distance training. Its standout feature is the combination of PureGEL technology and eco-friendly FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, which delivers exceptionally soft landings, though its focus on plush comfort may feel less responsive to runners who prefer a firmer, ground-feel sensation.

FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for wide feet?
The jacquard mesh upper is designed to be accommodating, but for those with very wide feet, ensure you try them on with your preferred running socks to verify the width.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road and treadmill running; the tread pattern and cushioning profile are not designed for technical, uneven trail surfaces.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 27s?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait mechanics.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Gel-Nimbus is a neutral shoe, meaning it provides balanced support for most arch types, though it is not specifically categorized as a 'stability' shoe for severe overpronation.
Can I use my own custom orthotics?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose or insecure
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the heel cup more firmly against your ankle.
Foam feels damp after a run
Remove the insole and stuff the shoes with dry newspaper or a moisture-absorbing cloth to draw out humidity overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks before long runs to allow the mesh to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam cushioning and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to deform or degrade.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully, extending the life of the cushioning.
