FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for trail running?
While the ASICSGRIP outsole offers great traction, this shoe is optimized for road use. It may lack the rock protection required for technical off-road trails.
What is the weight of this shoe?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 weighs approximately 305g.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?

Does the shoe provide stability for overpronation?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is categorized as a neutral cushioning shoe. If you require significant stability support, you may want to look at dedicated stability models.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Nimbus series provide optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Utilize the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to create a more secure hold around the ankle.
Midsole feels stiff out of the box
The FF Blast Plus Eco foam requires a short break-in period; try walking in them for several days to allow the foam to compress and adapt to your stride.
Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris
Use a soft dry brush to gently remove surface dirt after each run to keep the breathability pores clear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27, perform a thorough break-in period of 20-30 miles before taking them on long endurance runs. For compatibility, ensure you have measured your foot size accurately as this model runs standard to the 6 UK size. For maintenance, never machine wash or dry your shoes, as this can degrade the foam structural integrity. Instead, hand wash with a mild detergent and a soft brush, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the mesh to warp or adhesives to fail.
