Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe designed for runners who prioritize maximum comfort, superior shock absorption, and long-distance support. Utilizing advanced Rearfoot PureGEL technology and responsive FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning, these shoes provide a plush, high-energy return for road running. While they offer an industry-leading cushioned experience, they are primarily engineered for neutral foot strikes and may not provide the stability features required for runners with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral running shoe. While comfortable, those with severe flat feet or stability needs should consult with a specialist to see if they require additional arch support.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are engineered specifically for road running. The Hybrid ASICSGRIP is optimized for paved surfaces and may lack the necessary lugs for technical, muddy, or uneven trails.
How often should I replace them?
Typically, these should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait.
Is the upper material stretchy?
Yes, the engineered jacquard mesh is designed to adapt to your foot's shape, providing a flexible and accommodating fit.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the upper is made from 100% recycled materials and the cushioning foam incorporates bio-based content.
How should I clean the knit rib collar?
Gently wipe the collar with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid scrubbing aggressively to prevent pilling of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Tongue sliding to the side during runs
Adjust the gusseted tongue wing to ensure it is centered and tightened properly against your midfoot.
Accumulation of moisture inside the shoe
Ensure the OrthoLite X-55 sockliner is correctly positioned; if the problem persists, remove the sockliner after runs to let it dry separately.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft brush to remove pebbles or dirt from the ASICSGRIP grooves to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 lasts, follow these guidelines. When first putting them on, ensure the gusseted tongue is flat against your foot before tightening the laces to avoid pressure points. These shoes are compatible with orthotic inserts if you need to swap the factory OrthoLite sockliner for a custom medical-grade insole. For care, do not machine wash or dry the shoes, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove the sockliner and laces, then hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap with lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight.
