Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium road running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and joint protection during long-distance training. Its standout benefit is the combination of PureGEL technology and FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, which delivers a soft, responsive ride that significantly minimizes impact. While it offers unparalleled comfort and sustainability, runners seeking a lightweight racing flat may find its 305g weight and high stack height to be bulkier than minimal alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is specifically designed as a road running shoe and lacks the lug depth and protective plate needed for technical trails.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The shoe features an 8mm heel offset.

Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?

Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.

How long should I expect these shoes to last?

Generally, running shoes like the Nimbus series provide optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.

Is the upper material recycled?

Yes, the engineered mesh upper incorporates recycled polyester to reduce environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Adjust the lacing pattern using the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.

Visible dirt on the mesh

Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.

Shoe feels too firm out of the box

The FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam often requires a short 'break-in' period of 10-20 miles to reach optimal flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable traction on road surfaces

Cons

  • Heavier than specialized racing shoes
  • High stack height may feel bulky for some runners
  • Not intended for technical trail running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first run, ensure the fit is correct by trying the shoes on with your preferred running socks. Because ASICS often uses different regional sizing conventions, verify your fit according to the UK size label inside the shoe. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and foam density. Instead, wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if they become soiled. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole.
