Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushion, those with severe flat feet requiring rigid arch support may need to consult with a professional regarding the use of custom orthotics.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and walking, their soft, cushioned nature makes them less ideal for heavy weightlifting where a firm, stable base is required.
How many miles do these typically last?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Nimbus 27 are effective for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Are these waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and will absorb water if you run through deep puddles or heavy rain.
What is the difference between the Nimbus and Cumulus series?
The Nimbus series is typically the top-tier, maximum cushioning shoe, while the Cumulus is designed as a more versatile, lightweight, and slightly firmer everyday trainer.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as the window lacing technique, to alleviate pressure points across the midfoot.
Early signs of outsole wear
Check your gait for signs of extreme over-striding or heavy scuffing; regular rotation of footwear can also prolong outsole life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent discomfort during swelling on long runs.
- Lacing: Use the top eyelet (the 'runner's loop') if you experience heel slippage to ensure a secure lockdown.
- Cleaning: Clean your trainers by hand using a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam midsole and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the sockliner to speed up the process and stuff the shoes with newspaper to help maintain their shape while absorbing excess moisture.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress and the materials to fully dry out between uses.
