Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel Nimbus 27 trainers are designed for adult runners seeking a blend of comfort and support for everyday training and long-distance running. Their key benefit lies in providing a cushioned, responsive ride. A potential consideration is their neutral support, which may not be ideal for severe overpronators. These trainers feature advanced cushioning technologies for shock absorption and energy return, a breathable upper for ventilation, and a durable outsole for traction.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel Nimbus 27 suitable for wide feet?
The standard width is designed for average foot shapes. While the engineered knit upper offers some adaptability, individuals with significantly wide feet might find a wider version (if available) or a different model more comfortable.
How do I know when to replace my Gel Nimbus 27 trainers?
Most runners find their shoes lose optimal cushioning and support between 300-500 miles. Look for signs like reduced bounce, new aches or pains after runs, or visible wear on the outsole and midsole.
Can I wear the Gel Nimbus 27 for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they may handle light, well-maintained gravel paths, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical trail running.
What is the main difference between the Gel Nimbus 27 and previous models?
Each iteration typically brings refinements in cushioning, upper material, and overall ride. The Gel Nimbus 27 focuses on enhancing comfort and responsiveness with updated cushioning technologies and a refined upper for a better fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel Nimbus 27 features a breathable knit upper designed for ventilation, not waterproofing. They are not suitable for running in heavy rain or wet conditions unless combined with waterproof socks.
What kind of arch support do they offer?
The Gel Nimbus 27 is a neutral shoe, offering moderate arch support suitable for runners with neutral or high arches. It does not feature specific stability elements for overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. If the issue persists after a few wears, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The cushioning materials naturally break down with use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The DURASPEED™ outsole provides good traction, but like all running shoes, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Debris getting stuck in the outsole
Use a soft brush or a gentle stream of water to clean out any lodged debris from the outsole grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The ASICS Gel Nimbus 27 is a neutral running shoe, making it compatible with a wide variety of foot strikes, particularly for neutral runners and those with mild supination. It is designed for road running surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are properly tied to secure the foot without over-tightening, which can affect comfort and circulation.
