FAQs
Who is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 designed for?
These trainers are ideal for adult male runners with a neutral foot strike who are looking for maximum cushioning and comfort during their asphalt training sessions.
What makes the cushioning in the Gel-Nimbus 27 special?
It features innovative Rearfoot PureGEL™ technology for superior shock absorption and FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam for an incredibly soft and comfortable feel underfoot, reducing joint impact.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is primarily designed for asphalt surfaces. While they offer good traction, they are not optimized for the demands of technical trail running.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is highly recommended to try on the shoes before purchasing, as box or label sizes may sometimes differ from standard UK sizing. Refer to sizing charts and customer reviews if trying on is not possible.
What is the weight and drop of the Gel-Nimbus 27?
The approximate weight is 305 grams, and the shoe has a drop of 8 mm.
How should I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the primary benefit of the upper material?
The breathable mesh upper promotes air circulation, helping to keep your feet cool and dry during runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them to adjust the fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size larger or consulting with a shoe fitting specialist.
Reduced cushioning or shock absorption
Over time, cushioning materials can compress. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (asphalt training, maximum cushioning) and not excessive high-impact activities that could accelerate wear. If cushioning feels significantly degraded, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for reliable traction, very slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that might impede grip. For extremely wet conditions, exercise caution and reduce speed.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
The breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation. If excessive heat persists, ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Make sure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
