Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed for adult runners seeking maximum comfort and impact protection during daily training. Featuring advanced PureGEL technology and eco-friendly cushioning, these trainers provide a plush, responsive ride that minimizes joint stress. While these shoes excel in soft landings and overall comfort, they may feel slightly bulkier compared to lightweight racing flats, making them best suited for high-mileage base training rather than speed-focused track work.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is highly recommended for long-distance running, including marathons, due to its focus on long-lasting cushioning and comfort.
Does this model provide stability for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed as a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent support, those needing significant arch correction might need to consult with a podiatrist regarding orthotic inserts.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 450 to 600 kilometers, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are ideal for treadmill running and light gym work, but the high stack height may be less stable for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-heavy activities.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the jacquard mesh is designed for breathability rather than water resistance. It is best to avoid running in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing technique to relieve tension on the top bridge.
Excessive moisture or sweat accumulation
Remove the insoles after every run and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb residual moisture and speed up the drying process.
Squeaking sound while walking
Remove the sockliner, wipe down the inside of the shoe, and ensure the insole is completely dry before reinserting it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals and avoid machine washing, which can degrade the integrity of the foam and glue. Instead, clean them by wiping the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then letting them air dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Before your first long run, wear them for shorter walking sessions to allow the jacquard mesh to adjust to your foot shape. If you use custom orthotics, the internal footbed is removable, allowing you to swap it for your own to maintain proper alignment and fit.
