Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers provide the best experience, start by wearing them for shorter walks to allow the engineered mesh to conform to your foot before attempting long runs. Because they feature a breathable upper, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes for cleaning; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole cushioning properties. Check the outsole periodically for debris trapped in the grip pattern to maintain optimal traction.
