Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing different types of running socks. Loosen the laces and re-lace them, focusing on even pressure across the foot. The engineered mesh and collar are designed to adapt, but a proper lacing technique is key.
Reduced cushioning or loss of plushness over time.
The cushioning materials will naturally compress slightly with use. However, if you notice a significant loss, ensure you are not exceeding the intended mileage for the shoe and that you are caring for them properly. Avoid exposing them to excessive heat.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
While the hybrid ASICSGRIP outsole offers good traction, it is optimized for road surfaces. On extremely wet or slick conditions, reduce speed and exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that might impede grip.
Inner lining feels rough or causes irritation.
This may occur during the initial break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter distances first. Ensure your socks are pulled up properly to avoid skin contact with the lining. If irritation persists, consider a different sock material or thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. The stretch tongue and knit collar are designed for easy slip-on access.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for road running. They are compatible with most running socks and can be worn with GPS sports watches or other fitness tracking devices.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: For best longevity, consider rotating these trainers with another pair of shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover between runs.
