Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 27 is a premium neutral trainer designed for runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and joint protection during long-distance efforts. Ideal for daily training on asphalt surfaces, these shoes offer a plush, responsive ride thanks to advanced foam and gel integration; however, runners seeking a lightweight racing flat may find the 265g build and substantial stack height slightly bulkier than minimalist alternatives.

FAQs
Is the GEL-NIMBUS 27 suitable for trail running?
No, these are specifically designed for asphalt and paved surfaces. The outsole is not intended for the debris or uneven terrain found on trails.
How long do these shoes typically last?
Depending on surface conditions and body weight, the cushioning and tread should remain effective for 300 to 500 miles of running.
Are these shoes stable for overpronation?
The GEL-NIMBUS 27 is a neutral trainer. If you have severe overpronation, you may require a shoe with additional medial support.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the sockliner is removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe features an 8mm drop, which is a standard offset for comfortable road running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique with the top eyelets to secure the heel fit.
Upper mesh feeling too tight
Adjust the laces to be looser across the midfoot to allow the jacquard mesh to expand and breathe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your GEL-NIMBUS 27 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers fit true to size. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front to prevent toe rubbing.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, the foam may require a few short runs to adapt to your unique stride.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Remove the sockliner to dry separately. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Rotation: Allow the foam to recover for 24 hours between intense training sessions to maintain the integrity of the cushioning units.
