FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 best suited for?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is ideal for neutral runners, especially those who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort for long runs, marathon training, or recovery days. It's also a good option for everyday training.
How does the cushioning compare to previous Gel-Nimbus models?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 increases the amount of FF Blast Plus Eco foam compared to previous versions, offering an even more plush and effortless feel underfoot. It retains the PureGEL technology in the heel for shock absorption.
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 a stable shoe?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed as a neutral shoe. While it offers a stable platform due to its construction, it does not feature specific stability elements for overpronation.
Can I use these shoes for speedwork or racing?
While the Gel-Nimbus 27 offers a balance between comfort and responsiveness, its primary focus is on maximal cushioning. For very fast-paced speedwork or competitive racing, runners might prefer a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe. However, it can be used for tempo runs or longer races where comfort is paramount.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather conditions?
Yes, the hybrid ASICSGRIP outsole provides excellent traction in various conditions, including wet surfaces, offering reliable grip.
What is the weight of the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 weighs approximately 265g for a women's size, contributing to its comfortable feel without being overly heavy for a max-cushioned shoe.
How do I clean my Gel-Nimbus 27 shoes?
Gently clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing different thicknesses of running socks. Loosen or tighten the laces to adjust the fit. The engineered mesh and plush collar are designed to adapt, but proper lacing is key.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The cushioning materials can compress with significant use. If you notice a substantial decrease in comfort or bounce, it may be time to consider replacing your shoes, typically after 300-500 miles of running.
Outsole losing traction
Check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the outsole gently with a damp cloth. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
