FAQs
Are the Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 suitable for wide feet?
While the standard fit is designed for average foot widths, the mesh upper offers some flexibility. If you have particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or check for available wide-fit options if produced by the manufacturer.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
You should have 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 constricting around the midfoot and heel.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the GEL cushioning technology, adhesives, and the upper materials. Hand wash using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 and other running shoes?
The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 differentiates itself by combining a classic, retro aesthetic with modern GEL cushioning technology, offering both style and comfort for a wider range of activities beyond just running.
How long does the GEL cushioning typically last?
The durability of GEL cushioning depends on usage, terrain, and individual gait. For moderate running and walking, it is designed to provide support for several hundred miles. Significant wear on the outsole or midsole often indicates a need for replacement.
Is the 'Airy Blue' colorway available in other sizes or genders?
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 series often comes in multiple colorways and sizes across different gender specifications. Please check the product listings for specific availability of the 'Airy Blue' variant in your desired size and gender.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check if the laces are tied too tightly and adjust them for a more comfortable fit.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for long-term use, but its perceived effectiveness can diminish. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down. Consider your running mileage; for high-mileage runners, replacing trainers every 300-500 miles is often recommended.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole provides grip for typical running conditions. For very wet or slick surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole tread is not worn down, which can reduce traction.
Discoloration of the 'Airy Blue' accent
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time. Follow the recommended cleaning instructions to prevent staining.
