Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral road running shoe designed for ambitious adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and joint protection during training sessions. Featuring advanced PureGEL technology and responsive FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, these trainers offer an exceptionally soft and springy ride on asphalt surfaces. While they provide an unmatched cushioned experience, their emphasis on plush comfort and stabilizing design means they are less suited for high-speed track racing where a lighter, minimalist profile is typically preferred.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is specifically designed for asphalt and road running. They are not recommended for technical or uneven off-road trails.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Nimbus 27?
The shoe features an 8mm drop, which is standard for neutral trainers to facilitate a smooth transition.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Nimbus 27 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the adhesive. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the only recommended method.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the upper is constructed from an engineered mesh designed for maximum breathability, meaning it will allow water through if you run in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'window lacing' method, to relieve tension across the bridge of the foot.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' knot for a more secure fit.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, begin by ensuring the lacing system is adjusted to your foot width, allowing the mesh upper to conform naturally without creating pressure points. These shoes are optimized for neutral runners; if you require specific arch support or orthotics, remove the existing sockliner carefully before inserting your custom insoles.
For care and maintenance:
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after each run. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent material breakdown.
