FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for trail running?

Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed as a neutral trainer, offering a balanced platform suitable for most foot shapes.
How should I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe away dirt. Do not submerge in water or use a washing machine.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 305g, balancing stability and cushioning.
Is this shoe sustainable?
Yes, it features a recycled polyester upper and a midsole foam that has a 27% lower carbon footprint than industry averages.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' method to secure the heel cup more firmly around the ankle.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the engineered mesh is kept clean and consider wearing gaiters if running on loose gravel or trails.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after high mileage
Foam compression is natural over time; consider rotating your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to fully recover between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers, always ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a firm but comfortable lockdown without putting excessive pressure on the midfoot. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper using a damp cloth with mild soap. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
