Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort for daily training. Featuring advanced GEL technology and FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, these shoes provide superior shock absorption that protects joints during long runs. While they offer an incredibly soft ride, runners who prefer a firm, high-ground-feel racing flat may find the plush stack height too substantial for rapid speed work.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for trail running?
While it features an ASICSGRIP outsole for good traction, it is primarily designed as a road-running shoe and may lack the specific protective features needed for technical, rugged trails.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
We recommend trying on the shoes with the same socks you plan to use for running. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference between the Nimbus and the Cumulus series?
The Nimbus series typically offers a higher level of cushioning and a more luxurious, plush feel compared to the Cumulus, which is generally more versatile and slightly lighter.
How long will the cushioning last?
The durability of the cushioning foam typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait mechanics.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides during runs
Ensure the gusseted wings are pulled straight and the laces are tightened evenly through the eyelets.
Discomfort around the heel
Adjust your lacing pattern or use a heel lock lacing technique to secure the foot firmly within the collar.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning for high-mileage comfort
- Secure fit provided by the gusseted tongue system
- Excellent shock absorption reduces runner fatigue
- Durable outsole provides reliable traction on wet or dry roads
- Breathable material keeps feet cool
Cons
- High stack height may feel unstable for those preferring a low-profile shoe
- Not optimized for high-speed interval training
- Substantial cushioning adds weight compared to minimalist trainers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Asics Gel-Nimbus 27, it is essential to achieve a proper fit by testing the size before use, as sizing conventions can vary. Once fitted, the gusseted tongue should sit flat against your instep to maximize the secure feel.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the exterior by gently wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid machine washing or drying, as excessive heat can damage the foam cushioning properties.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Replace your trainers every 300 to 500 miles to maintain the structural integrity and shock-absorbing benefits of the midsole.
