FAQs

Is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for wide feet?

The engineered jacquard mesh upper provides a flexible fit, but those with wider feet should consider checking for specific wide-width availability if the standard model feels too tight across the midfoot.

Can I use these for speed training?

While highly comfortable for long distances, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is optimized for cushioning rather than explosive speed. For high-intensity speed work, a lighter, firmer trainer might be more suitable.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Nimbus 27 are recommended for replacement every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.

How do I ensure the correct size?

It is recommended to have about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.

Troubleshooting

Tongue feels uncomfortable or bunches up

Adjust the gusseted wings by centering the tongue carefully before tightening the laces to ensure a flat, secure fit.

Outer sole shows premature wear

Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on hard, smooth surfaces rather than rugged off-road trails to maintain the integrity of the hybrid grip pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of underfoot cushioning for long runs
  • Secure lockdown from the gusseted tongue wing system
  • Breathable jacquard mesh upper prevents overheating
  • Reliable traction provided by the hybrid outsole design

Cons

  • May feel too soft for runners who prefer ground feel
  • More substantial construction can feel heavier than lightweight racers
  • Requires proper sizing for the specific gusseted fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, begin by wearing the shoes with your preferred running socks to account for the specific volume of the gusseted tongue fit. For ongoing care, clean the exterior using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the materials or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized foam structure. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the adhesive and cushioning integrity.
