FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit of the Gel-Nimbus 26 is designed for average width, but the flexible lacing system allows for some volume adjustment.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, their focus on cushioning and impact absorption makes them an excellent candidate for long-distance training sessions.
Is the heel drop suitable for heel strikers?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus series is well-regarded for providing ample cushioning in the heel, which is ideal for heel strikers.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Typically, you should look to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and wear patterns.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam cushioning and adhesive properties.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points around the midfoot
Adjust the tension of the laces; try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel and relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Accumulated dirt on white outsole components
Use a soft-bristle brush and a mixture of water and gentle detergent to spot clean the area, then rinse lightly and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by wearing your Gel-Nimbus 26 trainers with performance socks that match your thickness preference to dial in the fit using the lacing system. These trainers are standard adult sizing and are generally compatible with custom orthotics if additional arch support is needed. For care, keep them away from harsh chemicals; clean the exterior by wiping with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning foam.
