FAQs

Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for wide feet?

The engineered mesh upper provides a degree of natural stretch, but if you have a wide foot, you may want to ensure you have tried them on with your preferred running socks.

Can I use these for trail running?

While the ASICSGRIP outsole provides good traction, these are designed for road and light path use. They lack the rock plates and aggressive lugs needed for technical trail terrain.

How long should the midsole cushioning last?

Depending on your weight, running surface, and gait, most runners can expect the foam to provide optimal cushioning for 400 to 500 miles.

What is the weight of this shoe?

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 weighs approximately 305 grams.

Is this shoe motion-controlled or neutral?

The Gel-Nimbus 27 is categorized as a neutral trainer, designed for runners who do not require significant overpronation support.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Loosen the laces across the midfoot or try a different lacing pattern to accommodate the stretch tongue.

Midsole feels stiff in cold temperatures

This is normal for performance foams; the shoe will soften up after a few minutes of activity as the material warms up.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, follow these guidelines:

  • Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, allow for 20-30 miles of mixed-pace running to allow the foam to settle to your unique gait.
  • Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not submerge in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
  • Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the upper and harden the midsole.
  • Storage: Store in a well-ventilated space to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
