FAQs

Who is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 designed for?

The Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed for adult male runners, particularly those who prioritize maximum comfort and support for long-distance running and training.

What makes the cushioning special in these trainers?

They feature a combination of PureGEL technology for shock absorption and FF BLAST PLUS ECO Foam for exceptional comfort and softer landings, reducing impact on your joints.

How do I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers?

Gently brush off dry dirt, then use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from heat sources. Do not machine wash.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

They are best suited for long-distance road running and everyday training where comfort and joint protection are key. For very fast-paced or track running, other models might offer a more responsive feel.

What is the benefit of the rib-knit collar?

The rib-knit collar is designed for ease of use, making the trainers particularly comfortable and simple to put on and take off.

Do these trainers have an eco-friendly design?

Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 27 incorporates eco-friendly production methods and materials, contributing to a more sustainable future.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The trainers aim for a glove-like fit. Ensure there is adequate space in the toe box (about a thumb's width) and that the heel doesn't slip. Trying them on with your usual running socks is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider trying a half-size up if the fit is consistently snug, especially if you prefer more room in the toe box.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning materials may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are being cared for properly and not exposed to excessive heat or moisture, which can degrade foam. Consider replacement after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).

Upper material feels warm

While the jacquard mesh is breathable, prolonged intense activity in very hot weather may still lead to warm feet. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Clean the mesh regularly to maintain optimal breathability.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort
  • Reduces joint impact with advanced shock absorption

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general athletic use. They are most compatible with standard running socks. The sizing information provided is based on UK adult male foot sizes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Laundering: Do not machine wash or tumble dry the trainers. This can compromise the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
