Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking superior cushioning and lightweight comfort. They offer exceptional shock absorption to protect joints during runs, thanks to integrated GEL technology and a FlyteFoam midsole. A key caveat is that they are best suited for neutral runners or those with supinating feet, and may not provide adequate support for overpronators. Key features include a breathable mesh upper for ventilation, a sock-like fit from the elasticated upper, and a durable ASICSGRIP rubber outsole for reliable traction.

FAQs
Who is the Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for adult female runners with a neutral gait or those who supinate. They are designed for road running and offer excellent cushioning for long distances.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 are primarily designed for road running. While they may handle light, well-maintained trails, they lack the aggressive tread and robust support typically needed for off-road conditions.
How do I clean my Gel-Nimbus 28 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a soft brush or cloth, cool water, and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides superior shock absorption, significantly reducing impact on your joints during running and high-impact activities.
Is the fit adjustable?
The trainers feature an elasticated upper that provides a sock-like fit. While not adjustable in the traditional sense (like laces that can be tightened extensively), the elastic offers a secure and adaptable feel.
What is the purpose of the FlyteFoam midsole?
The FlyteFoam midsole offers exceptional cushioning that is also very lightweight, contributing to a comfortable and responsive ride without adding unnecessary bulk.
Can someone with flat feet wear these shoes?
The Gel-Nimbus 28 is designed for neutral runners. Individuals with flat feet who overpronate might require shoes with more pronation control or arch support. It is recommended to consult with a running specialist.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear
The elasticated upper is designed to offer a sock-like fit. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. They should become more comfortable with use.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the ASICSGRIP outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For challenging conditions, exercise caution.
Feet feel too warm during runs
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. The breathable mesh is designed for ventilation, but external factors like high humidity or exceptionally warm temperatures can still lead to warm feet.
