Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and shock absorption during long-distance training or casual wear. Featuring a combination of PureGEL and FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, these shoes provide a soft, responsive ride that significantly reduces joint impact. While these trainers offer an exceptional fit through their updated collar construction and breathable mesh, they are specialized for neutral foot strikes and may not provide the stability features required by runners with severe overpronation.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is specifically engineered for high-mileage comfort and shock absorption.

Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?

Yes, the sockliner is removable to accommodate custom insoles if needed.

How often should I replace these shoes?

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

Are these shoes waterproof?

The upper is made of breathable mesh, which is not waterproof and will absorb water in wet conditions.

Do these run true to size?

The Gel-Nimbus 27 typically follows standard athletic footwear sizing; if you prefer more room in the toe box, consider going up half a size.

What does the ECO in the foam signify?

The FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam is formulated using bio-based materials to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop for a more secure heel lock.

Mesh upper accumulating dust and debris

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift particles from the knit structure without damaging the fabric fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers, keep them away from intense heat sources that could compromise the foam's integrity. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the mesh upper using a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural adhesives. When choosing your size, remember that these are standard adult fittings; if you plan on using custom orthotics, consider removing the factory sockliner for a better fit. Allow the shoes to air-dry naturally in a shaded area after use, especially if they become damp from sweat or rain.
