FAQs
Are these shoes good for marathon training?
Yes, the GEL-NIMBUS 3 trainers offer excellent cushioning suitable for the demands of marathon training, especially for longer, slower runs where comfort is key.
What type of runner are these shoes best for?
These trainers are ideal for neutral runners who need significant cushioning and shock absorption for their daily runs on road surfaces.
Can I use these shoes for walking?
Absolutely. The comfortable cushioning and supportive design make them suitable for walking as well as running.
How do the GEL-NIMBUS 3 trainers compare to the Gel-NYC?
The GEL-NIMBUS series generally focuses on maximum cushioning and comfort for everyday running, while the Gel-NYC often offers a blend of cushioning and responsiveness with a design that can sometimes bridge performance and lifestyle wear.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and use on appropriate surfaces, you can expect the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 3 trainers to last between 300-500 miles. This can vary based on individual running style, weight, and terrain.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Troubleshooting
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more runs. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure the laces are tied correctly for your foot shape. If consistently too tight or loose, consider a different size or width, or consult ASICS sizing guides for accurate measurement.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology and foam midsole will naturally compress with significant mileage. For optimal performance and cushioning, consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on your gait and running surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 3 trainers are best suited for neutral runners. They are designed for road running and general training. While they can be used for light trail or treadmill running, their primary performance is on hard, even surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and sole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the shoe.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot car trunks or exposed to extreme temperatures.
