FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for overpronation?
No, the Gel-Nimbus 27 is specifically designed as a neutral running shoe. It does not contain the stability components required for significant overpronation.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
Are these shoes made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the upper is constructed from 100% recycled materials and the cushioning foam utilizes bio-based materials to reduce environmental impact.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the ASICSGRIP outsole is durable, these are designed for road surfaces. They may lack the protection and grip needed for technical or uneven trail terrain.
How should I clean the shoes?
Spot clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the performance foams.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining overall lockdown.
Excessive moisture or sweat buildup
Remove the sockliner after use to air out and consider using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27, ensure a secure lace fit that locks the heel in place without putting pressure on the top of the foot. These are standard neutral trainers and pair well with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the upper with mild soap and cold water if dirty. Remove the OrthoLite sockliner after particularly wet runs to allow it to air-dry independently, which prevents odors and helps the foam retain its structure. Always allow your shoes to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
