FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed with maximum comfort and support, making it an excellent choice for marathon runners who prioritize cushioning and joint protection over long distances.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is optimized for road running. While they may handle very light, well-groomed trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protection needed for technical or muddy trails.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not constrictive, especially around the heel and midfoot.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, it is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you start to feel a significant decrease in cushioning and support.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Nimbus series and other ASICS running shoes?
The Gel-Nimbus series is ASICS' flagship neutral, high-cushioning shoe, designed for maximum comfort and shock absorption, often preferred for long runs and recovery runs. Other series may offer different levels of cushioning, stability, or responsiveness tailored to different running styles and needs.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a mixture of mild soap and water to gently scrub the mesh. Rinse with cool water and allow to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques or loosen the laces around the midfoot. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consult the ASICS sizing guide if unsure.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While the cushioning is durable, its responsiveness may decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant reduction in shock absorption.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. While the upper is breathable, extreme conditions may still lead to heat buildup. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and performance. The classic lace-up system allows you to adjust the fit to your preference before your first run.
Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for road running. They are compatible with most running surfaces found on paved roads, sidewalks, and well-maintained running tracks. They are not recommended for trail running or rough terrain where aggressive tread and enhanced durability may be required.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more persistent stains, use a mild soap and water solution, and brush lightly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
