FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe. While the cushioning is comfortable, runners with severe overpronation may prefer a model with more structured medial support.
How should I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27s?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Are these good for treadmill running?
Yes, their shock-absorbing properties make them excellent for treadmill workouts, protecting your joints against the repetitive impact of indoor belts.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are primarily designed for road and pavement use. The outsole pattern is not optimized for loose dirt, mud, or rocky terrain.
What does the ECO in the foam name mean?
The FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam is manufactured using sustainable materials to reduce the environmental footprint while maintaining high performance.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping or heel lifting
Adjust your lacing pattern using the extra top eyelet to create a more secure lockdown for the heel.
Upper feels too tight or constricting
Try a lacing technique that skips the mid-foot eyelets to provide more volume across the top of the foot.
Loss of cushioning feel
Foams compress over time; if you exceed 400-500 miles, it may be time to replace the shoes as the midsole material reaches its limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, follow these best practices:
- Break-in Period: While these shoes offer immediate comfort, wearing them for shorter walks before long runs helps the upper adapt to your unique foot shape.
- Lacing: Use the additional top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' if you require a more secure heel lock.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, mild detergent, and cold water. Never machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning foam.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the midsole foam to warp or stiffen.
