FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Nimbus 26 is a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support or stability for overpronation, you may wish to consult a podiatrist to see if additional orthotics are compatible.
Can I use these for marathon running?
Yes, many runners use the Gel-Nimbus 26 for long-distance training and marathons due to the focus on sustained comfort and shock absorption.
How do I determine if the fit is correct?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot expansion during exercise.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Heat from a dryer will damage the adhesive and the responsive foam cushioning. Always air dry at room temperature.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait style.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock the heel in place and ensure the laces are snug across the midfoot.
Upper mesh collecting debris
After running on dusty or sandy paths, use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge trapped particles from the engineered mesh.
Feeling of excessive heat
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton, which traps moisture and heat against the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that you have chosen the correct UK size for your foot shape. When first using the trainers, ensure the laces are secure but not restrictive to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can compromise the structural integrity of the internal materials.
