FAQs

Are the Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 suitable for marathon running?

The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 offers excellent cushioning for long runs. However, for competitive marathon running, dedicated performance racing shoes might provide a more specialized advantage. These are excellent for training runs and general mileage.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 trainers. Machine washing can damage the GEL cushioning, adhesives, and synthetic materials. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.

What does 'Airy Blue' refer to?

"Airy Blue" refers to the specific shade of blue used as an accent color on this particular model of the Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 trainers.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 trainers are not waterproof. They feature breathable mesh for ventilation, which means they are not designed to keep water out.

What is the main difference between this and other Gel-Nimbus models?

The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 retains the classic silhouette of its predecessors while incorporating updated GEL cushioning technology and a modern color accent. Specific differences will vary with each new model release.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight around the midfoot and heel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. You can try wearing them with thinner socks initially. The materials may also loosen slightly with wear.

Uneven wear on the sole

This could be due to gait. Consider consulting a professional for gait analysis if experiencing discomfort or significant uneven wear.

Discoloration of the 'Airy Blue' accent

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean gently with recommended methods.

Reduced cushioning over time

GEL cushioning may lose some effectiveness after extensive use. For regular running, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles or when cushioning feels noticeably diminished.

  • Excellent cushioning for comfort and impact absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No assembly or complex setup is required. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed as unisex footwear suitable for adults. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic apparel and casual wear. While primarily designed for running and walking, they can be worn with most types of socks.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Gel-Nimbus 10.1 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic panels with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the outsole. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and preserve their shape.
