Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium road running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and joint protection during their daily training. By combining Rearfoot PureGEL technology with FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, it provides a plush, responsive feel that excels on long-distance runs; however, runners seeking a minimalist or lightweight racing shoe may find its substantial stack height feels less ground-connected than performance-focused models.

FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 suitable for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road running. While they offer excellent cushioning, they lack the aggressive lugs and protective rock plates required for technical trail terrain.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the GEL technology and the foam midsole. Always hand-clean using a damp cloth.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace your trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait mechanics.
Do these shoes come in wide widths?
Please check the specific product listing or contact your retailer, as availability of widths varies by region and stock.
What is the primary difference between the Nimbus and Cumulus series?
The Nimbus series typically offers maximum cushioning for a softer ride, whereas the Cumulus series is often slightly lighter and designed for versatile, everyday training.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system for a runner's loop (heel lock) to improve lockdown.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Regularly remove the sockliner and shake out loose grit to prevent internal fabric abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers, always ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug yet non-restrictive fit across the midfoot. If you use custom orthotics, the factory-installed insole is removable to accommodate most standard medical inserts. For cleaning, remove dirt or mud with a soft brush after your run and wipe the surface with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and detergent can break down the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
