Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe designed for runners who prioritize long-distance comfort and smooth transitions. Featuring reactive FF Blast+ Eco foam throughout the midsole, this trainer balances plush cushioning with energy return, making it an ideal choice for daily training and endurance racing. While it excels in comfort, prospective users should note that its maximalist cushioning profile may feel less responsive for high-speed track intervals or short sprint sessions.

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushioning, runners with severe flat feet or overpronation may benefit from a stability-focused shoe like the ASICS Gel-Kayano series.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are excellent for treadmill runs, the thick, cushioned sole is not ideal for heavy weightlifting where a firm, stable base is required.
How should the shoe fit?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during long runs.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability. They will get wet in heavy rain, though the materials are designed to dry relatively quickly.
What is the drop of this shoe?
The Gel-Nimbus series traditionally features a moderate heel-to-toe drop designed to alleviate strain on the Achilles tendon.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' or 'gap lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the affected area.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' to secure the rearfoot more tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, always use a running sock that corresponds to your training intensity, as the thickness can alter the internal volume of the shoe. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam and adhesives. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked during a run, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Replace your shoes every 300 to 500 miles to maintain the structural integrity and shock-absorption benefits of the foam.
