FAQs
Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 good for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushioning, those with severe overpronation may prefer a shoe with more medial support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the jacquard mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and is not waterproof.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are designed primarily for running. For heavy weightlifting, a flatter and firmer sole is generally recommended for better stability.
What is the primary difference between the Nimbus and Cumulus series?
The Nimbus series typically offers a higher stack of cushioning for maximum comfort, while the Cumulus series is often slightly lighter and offers a more balanced, versatile feel.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
You should have enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably. If your toes touch the front or feel cramped, you may need a half-size larger.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing technique, such as using a window lacing method, to relieve tension across the bridge.
Midsole foam feels less responsive
Check if the shoes have exceeded their expected mileage (typically 300-500 miles); foam compression is a natural sign of wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers, keep the following in mind:
- Fit: The engineered mesh upper is designed to accommodate various foot shapes; ensure your toes have about a thumb's width of space at the front.
- Cleaning: Clean the surface using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the structural integrity of the midsole.
- Rotation: Allowing your shoes to air out for 24 hours between runs helps the foam recover its original shape and bounce.
