Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 good for running or just walking?

It is a neutral max-cushion road trainer, so it works for easy runs and long walks. Some runners find it too soft and heavy for faster training.

How does it fit compared with the Gel-Nimbus 26?

The 27 keeps the same 8 mm drop and neutral max-cushion design, with FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam and PureGEL. Fit is medium width with a roomy toe box, though wide-footed buyers may still need a wide size.

What is the heel-to-toe drop and stack height?

The drop is 8 mm, with a 43.5 mm heel and 35.5 mm forefoot stack.

Is the upper really recycled?

Yes. ASICS says 100% of the shoe's upper is recycled material, and the product contains at least 20 percent recycled content overall.

Does it come in wide widths?

The listed width is medium, and some wide-footed buyers say it runs narrow. Check for a wide version before buying if you need extra room.

Is the Gel-Nimbus 27 worth it over the Cumulus or Novablast?

The Nimbus gives the most cushioning and the softest ride of the three, with PureGEL in the heel. The Cumulus is lighter and firmer, and the Novablast is bouncier and better for tempo work.
