Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe engineered for runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and joint protection during long-distance training or recovery runs. Its primary benefit is the exceptional shock absorption and plush underfoot feel provided by advanced foam and gel technologies, though its highly cushioned nature may feel less stable for runners who prefer a firm, ground-connected racing sensation.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is categorized as a neutral shoe. While comfortable, runners with severe overpronation may require a stability-specific model.
Can I use these for speed work?
While the foam is responsive, the shoe is primarily designed for comfort and distance rather than track speed or explosive intervals.
How many miles will these last?
Typically, you can expect 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait mechanics.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the jacquard mesh is designed for breathability. It will absorb water if you run through heavy rain or puddles.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference between Nimbus and Cumulus series?
The Nimbus series focuses on maximum cushioning and a plush feel, while the Cumulus is generally slightly lighter and firmer for a more versatile, everyday feel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the pressure point, to relieve tension across the bridge of the foot.
Heel slipping while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the collar to create a runner's loop (heel lock) for a more secure fit around the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 remains in top condition, follow these maintenance practices:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumbnail-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand-wash using mild soap and cold water; never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer as this can damage the cushioning properties.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can deform the midsole foam.
- Rotation: Allow the midsole foam to 'rest' for 24 hours between runs if possible, as this allows the cushioning materials to decompress fully and maintain their longevity.
