FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 provides neutral support and plush cushioning, which is often comfortable for a variety of foot types, though those with severe overpronation may prefer a dedicated stability shoe.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 28s?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 400 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the foam. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap.
Is this shoe good for racing?
While highly comfortable for marathons and endurance races, it is designed primarily as a high-mileage trainer rather than a lightweight racing flat.
How does the sizing compare to other brands?
ASICS generally fits true to size, but it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to accommodate foot swelling during exercise.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more tightly against the heel.
Foam feeling compressed or unresponsive
Ensure the shoes are given 24 hours of rest between long runs to allow the midsole foam to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pair these trainers with high-quality moisture-wicking synthetic socks. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not constricted across the midfoot to allow the mesh upper to conform to your foot shape. Regarding care, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after each run. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area; avoid placing them near heaters or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Replace the shoes after 400-500 miles of use to maintain optimal cushioning support.
