FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe. If you have severe pronation issues, you may want to consult a professional for an orthotic insert or consider a stability-specific model.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is specifically engineered for long-distance training and provides the necessary cushioning to support higher mileage.
How long should the cushioning last?
Generally, running shoes maintain their optimal cushioning properties for 400 to 600 kilometers, depending on your running gait and the surfaces you frequent.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the upper is designed for maximum breathability using an engineered mesh, which is not water-resistant.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 weighs approximately 305g, balancing durability with a lightweight feel for daily training.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage during running
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique using the final eyelet to secure the heel more firmly.
Upper mesh collecting dust or debris
Use a dry, soft brush to gently clear debris after runs to prevent grit from wearing down the fabric fibers.
Feeling of excess heat inside the shoe
Ensure you are using lightweight, moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton, which retains heat and moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for 24 hours between runs if the shoes become heavily damp. For cleaning, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush and wipe with a damp cloth; never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and cushioning integrity. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your personal lockdown preference before every run, paying attention to the eyelet tension to avoid pressure points on the top of the foot.
