Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort during long-distance efforts. Featuring advanced FF Blast Plus Eco foam and PureGEL technology, this trainer delivers a plush, shock-absorbing ride that supports high-mileage training. While it excels in comfort and stability, the high stack height may feel too elevated for runners who prefer a firm, ground-connected racing feel.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 provides neutral support with generous cushioning, which can be comfortable for many; however, consult a podiatrist if you require specific orthotic arch support.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the ASICSGRIP outsole is excellent for roads and light paths, these shoes are optimized for pavement and are not designed for rugged, uneven off-road terrain.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, the foam and structural components of a performance running shoe provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are the materials recycled?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 27 features an upper made with recycled polyester and uses a midsole foam that is 27% more sustainable than conventional foams.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe has an 8mm heel offset, providing a balanced platform that promotes a natural transition during the gait cycle.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the laces using a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the area directly beneath the eyelets.
Excessive movement inside the shoe
Use the runner's loop (heel lock) lacing method to secure your heel further back into the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the tongue upward to align the knit rib collar snugly against your ankle. The lacing system allows for a customizable lockdown; avoid overtightening to maintain the natural stretch of the upper mesh. To care for your shoes, remove surface dirt using a soft brush after your run. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity. If the shoes become damp, remove the insoles and air dry them in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
