FAQs
Are the Gel-Nimbus 27s good for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe that provides significant support and comfort, making it a viable option for many runners, though those requiring medical-grade stability may want to consult a professional.
Can I use these for treadmill running?
Yes, the cushioning and breathability of the Gel-Nimbus 27 make it an excellent choice for both outdoor pavement and treadmill workouts.
How long should these shoes last?
Typical mileage for a high-performance trainer is between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Is this shoe water-resistant?
The jacquard mesh upper is designed for breathability, not water resistance. It will soak through in heavy rain.
Does the rib-knit collar lose its elasticity?
The collar is designed to maintain its shape and tension over the lifespan of the shoe if handled correctly during entry and exit.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel more securely into the rib-knit collar.
Upper feels too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to reduce tension across the arch area.
Dirt buildup in the mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely before using a soft-bristled dry brush to dislodge particles from the mesh pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Nimbus 27 remains in peak condition, consider these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform one or two shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your specific foot strike.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If needed, use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the upper; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent foam degradation.
- Fit: The shoe is designed for a snug, secure fit. If you prefer more room for toe splay during long runs, consider sizing up by a half size if you typically have extra space in other brands.
