FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for a marathon?
Yes, its maximum cushioning and support make it a popular choice for runners covering long distances who want to prioritize comfort and shock absorption.
Does this shoe have extra arch support?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe, meaning it is designed for runners with a natural gait rather than those needing significant stability or motion control features.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Nimbus 27 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill running and cardio, the high stack height is not ideal for heavy weightlifting where a flat, stable surface is preferred.
Is the material machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand to preserve the specialized foam and mesh materials.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 features an 8 mm drop.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight in the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'window lacing' method, to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Outer sole shows premature wear
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on asphalt or track surfaces and avoid abrasive gravel or trail terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Nimbus 27s remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to conform to your specific foot shape.
- Compatibility: These are designed for neutral runners. If you require significant arch support for overpronation, consult a professional to ensure they meet your biomechanical needs.
- Cleaning: Clean the shoes by hand using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and the integrity of the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the synthetic mesh and rubber materials.
