FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 best suited for?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning for daily training, long-distance runs, and recovery runs. It's particularly beneficial for those who want to reduce impact on their joints.
How does the cushioning compare to previous Gel-Nimbus models?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 features an increased amount of FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam and maintains the PureGEL™ technology in the heel for enhanced, soft cushioning, offering a plush and effortless feel.
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for racing?
While excellent for comfort during long runs, its high stack height and plush cushioning make it more suited for training and recovery rather than fast-paced racing, where a firmer, more responsive shoe might be preferred.
What are the environmental benefits of this shoe?
The shoe incorporates a recycled polyester upper and its midsole foam has a 27% lower carbon footprint compared to industry averages, reflecting ASICS' commitment to sustainability.
How should I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27 shoes?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or full immersion in water to protect the shoe's construction and materials.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Gel-Nimbus 27?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Hybrid ASICSGRIP™ outsole provides good traction on light trails, but the shoe is primarily designed for road running. For technical or rugged trails, a dedicated trail running shoe is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's profile doesn't suit your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after several runs
The FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam may require a short break-in period. Continue running to allow the foam to adapt to your stride. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat which can degrade foam properties.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the Hybrid ASICSGRIP™ outsole offers good traction, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt and debris can affect grip.
Upper material feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed for a secure fit. Ensure the laces are not overtightened. If the restriction is due to foot anatomy, this shoe model might not be the best fit.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27 shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.

- Usage: Rotate between multiple pairs of running shoes if possible to allow them to fully recover and extend their lifespan.
