FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support, consider using custom orthotic insoles.
How long do the shoes last?
Typically, you can expect between 500 to 800 kilometers depending on your running surface, gait, and weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for walking and running, they may be too soft for heavy weightlifting where a firm, stable base is required.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability, not water resistance.
How should I clean the cream colorway?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe away debris. Do not soak the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the runner's loop (lace lock) technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Midsole feels stiff after long storage
Flex the shoes manually or perform a short walk to 'wake up' the foam response.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes perform optimally, wear them during short, light activities for the first 30-50 kilometers to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot strike. Compatibility is best with neutral running socks that offer moisture-wicking properties. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, spot-clean with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can degrade the foam integrity.
