Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral road running trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort during long training sessions. By integrating advanced midsole technologies, the shoe provides a plush and responsive ride that helps reduce impact stress; however, runners seeking a lightweight racing flat may find its 305g build slightly heavier than performance-oriented alternatives.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for flat feet?
This is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet that require significant arch support or stability control, you may want to look at ASICS stability models instead.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 weighs approximately 305g.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and treadmill use, the high stack height may feel less stable for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-intensive gym classes.
How long should these shoes last?
Depending on your running surface and gait, you can generally expect between 400 to 500 miles before the cushioning properties begin to degrade significantly.
Is this a waterproof shoe?
No, the standard Gel-Nimbus 27 features a breathable mesh upper designed for airflow rather than water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining lockdown.
Shoes feel damp or develop odors
Remove the insole after your run and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, then air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during long runs.
- Break-in: While they provide immediate comfort, take them on a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Air Drying: Always let your shoes air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.
