FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 26 provides a neutral platform with significant cushioning, which is generally well-received by those with neutral or mild pronation, though individual arch support needs may vary.
How often should I replace my Gel-Nimbus 26?
It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual gait style.
Can I use custom orthotics with these trainers?
Yes, the Gel-Nimbus 26 features a removable sockliner, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Are these waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed with breathable mesh materials and are not waterproof. They will absorb water if worn in heavy rain.
What is the best way to clean the Light Celadon mesh?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a very mild detergent and a damp sponge, dabbing rather than rubbing to avoid damaging the fabric weave.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot.
Squeaking sounds while walking
This often occurs due to moisture trapped under the removable sockliner. Remove the insole, dry it thoroughly, and ensure the interior of the shoe is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26, proper maintenance is essential:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before committing to long runs to allow the foam and mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush or cloth. If the shoes are particularly muddy, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the cushioning.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to prevent mold growth and maintain the integrity of the foam.
