FAQs

Who are the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers best suited for?

These trainers are ideal for adult female runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for long-distance running, daily training, and recovery runs. They are particularly beneficial for those who experience joint impact or prefer a plush underfoot feel.

What is the main benefit of the PureGEL™ technology?

The Rearfoot PureGEL™ technology is designed to provide enhanced shock absorption upon landing. This helps to reduce the impact on your joints, leading to a smoother and more comfortable running experience, especially over longer distances.

How does the FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam contribute to the shoe's performance?

FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam is used throughout the midsole to deliver a soft, bouncy, and responsive cushioning. It contributes to a plush feel underfoot and helps to provide energy return with each stride, making the run feel effortless.

Is the upper material breathable?

Yes, the shoes feature a new engineered mesh upper which is designed to be lightweight and breathable, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during your runs.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 are primarily designed as road running shoes. While they feature a hybrid ASICSGRIP outsole for good traction, they are best suited for paved surfaces. For technical trails, a dedicated trail running shoe would be more appropriate.

What does the 'ECO' in FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO refer to?

The 'ECO' signifies that the midsole foam is made with a reduced environmental impact. The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 uses midsole foam with a carbon footprint that is 27% lower than industry averages for conventional foams, and the upper is made from recycled polyester.

How do I determine the correct UK size for my feet?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it to the provided measurements. Trying them on, if possible, is the most accurate way to ensure a proper fit.

What is the heel offset of the Gel-Nimbus 27?

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 has a heel offset of 8mm. This measurement indicates the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot, influencing the shoe's ride characteristics.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing pattern. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure but comfortable fit that accommodates your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan. If you notice a significant decrease in cushioning, it may be time to replace them, typically after 300-500 miles depending on usage and impact.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the hybrid ASICSGRIP outsole offers good traction, very slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Run with caution on extremely wet or icy conditions. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.

Upper feels uncomfortable or causes rubbing.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Check for any internal seams or debris that might be causing irritation. The plush collar and engineered mesh are designed for comfort, so significant discomfort may indicate a fit issue.

Care:
