FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Gel-Nimbus 27 offers significant cushioning and support, which can be comfortable for many runners, though specific orthotic needs should be assessed by a professional.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While excellent for road running, the high cushioning stack might feel unstable for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-heavy HIIT classes.

How often should I replace these running shoes?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Do these run true to size?

ASICS generally fit true to size, but always consult the size guide and double-check UK, US, and Euro sizing on the label as they can vary.

Are they water-resistant?

The upper is made of breathable mesh designed for airflow, so it is not water-resistant and will absorb moisture in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping at the heel

Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the foot more firmly in the collar.

Foot feels tight after a long run

Feet naturally swell during exercise; ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks and consider re-lacing the mid-section to be slightly looser.

Outsole collecting small debris

Use a soft brush to dislodge pebbles or dirt from the rubber grooves to maintain traction performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior shock absorption for joint protection
  • Soft, responsive cushioning for high-mileage comfort
  • High-quality breathable materials
  • Excellent traction provided by the rubber outsole

Cons

  • May feel bulky compared to racing shoes
  • Specific fit profile requires accurate sizing due to international variants
  • Designed primarily for road use, not ideal for technical trail running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before heading out, ensure you trial the shoes indoors to verify the fit, as US or Euro sizing on the box may differ from UK standards. To maintain the structural integrity and cushioning performance of the trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the exterior by gently wiping with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the foam properties.
