FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The engineered knit upper provides some natural stretch, but those with significantly wide feet may want to look for specific wide-width variants.
Can I use these for speed training?
While they are comfortable, they are primarily designed for endurance and recovery rather than high-speed sprinting.
How often should I replace my Gel Nimbus 26?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow, not for repelling water.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
The Gel Nimbus 26 is classified as a neutral trainer, designed for runners with normal pronation.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as the window lacing technique, to alleviate pressure points.
Accumulated dirt on the mesh upper
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot clean; avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear your training socks when trying these on to guarantee an accurate fit. Keep the laces secured firmly across the midfoot to leverage the built-in stability features. For maintenance, remove dirt using a soft brush after muddy runs. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight or heaters, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive components.
