Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe designed for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort during long-distance training or daily recovery runs. This model excels in providing soft, cloud-like landings through its advanced midsole technology and sustainable construction, though its focus on plush comfort makes it less ideal for runners who prioritize a minimal, ground-feel sensation or high-speed racing responsiveness.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe. While it provides excellent cushioning, those with severe overpronation may require an additional orthotic insert for arch support.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the responsive properties of the foam. Always clean by hand using a soft brush.
What does the 5.5 UK sizing mean?
This is the standard British sizing convention. Ensure you check the ASICS size chart to compare this against US or EU sizing if necessary.
How much recycled content is used?
At least 75% of the main upper material is crafted from recycled materials to minimize waste.
Is this shoe good for racing?
This shoe is categorized as a daily trainer. While durable and comfortable, it is optimized for comfort rather than the explosive energy return required for racing.
Does the solution-dyed sockliner affect comfort?
No, the solution-dyeing process is an eco-friendly method to color the fabric without compromising the texture or performance of the sockliner.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a runner's loop or loosen the laces near the midfoot to allow the jacquard mesh more room to expand.
Midsole feels less bouncy than when new
Allow the shoe to rest for at least 24-48 hours between runs to let the bio-based cushioning recover its structural integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally soft and plush cushioning suitable for high-mileage training
- Environmentally conscious design with significant use of recycled materials
- Breathable jacquard mesh upper ensures a secure yet comfortable fit
- Lightweight feel despite the high level of midsole protection
Cons
- Not intended for fast-paced tempo work or racing
- High stack height may feel unstable for runners who prefer low-profile shoes
- May require a break-in period to allow the mesh upper to conform perfectly to the foot
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these maintenance practices:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing your standard running sock size when testing for fit, as the jacquard mesh provides a snug, sock-like feel.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Do not submerge the shoes completely in water for long periods.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the foam midsoles.
- Rotation: If running daily, rotate the shoes with another pair to allow the foam compression to reset fully between uses.
