FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 for?
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 is ideal for neutral runners and underpronators seeking maximum cushioning for daily training, long-distance running, and recovery runs. It's particularly well-suited for those who prioritize comfort and joint protection.
How does the cushioning compare to previous Gel-Nimbus models?
The Gel-Nimbus 27 builds upon previous iterations with updated FF BLAST PLUS ECO and PureGEL technologies, offering a softer, more responsive, and lighter cushioning experience compared to older models.
Can I use these trainers for racing?
While the Gel-Nimbus 27 offers excellent cushioning and comfort, it is primarily designed for training. For competitive racing where speed is paramount, ASICS offers lighter, more performance-oriented racing shoes.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light rain but not for heavy downpours or water immersion.
What is the primary difference in the men's version?
The men's version (like this UK 11 model 1011B958-020) is designed with specific considerations for male biomechanics, including foot width and stability needs, to provide a more tailored fit and performance.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 trainers?
Most running shoes, including the Gel-Nimbus 27, typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). Factors like running surface, your weight, and running style can affect lifespan. Look for signs of wear like flattened cushioning or worn-out outsole treads.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the issue persists, consider if this specific size and fit are suitable for your foot shape. Consult the size chart or try a half-size up.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning will naturally decrease with extensive use. If significant reduction occurs within the warranty period, contact customer support. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn or damaged.
Slipping or lack of traction
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The DURASPEED outsole is designed for road surfaces; use caution on wet or polished surfaces. If wear is excessive, consider replacement.
Upper material feels uncomfortable or causes chafing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to alleviate pressure points. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wears before long runs.
