FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Novablast 5 is designed as a neutral trainer. Individuals with severe overpronation may prefer a model with additional stability features.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the foam components.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are constructed with breathable materials intended for airflow and are not waterproof.
How often should I replace the Novablast 5?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Do these come in other colours?
Yes, the Novablast 5 series is available in several colourways including black, blue, and various white/grey combinations.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to create a tighter lockdown around the ankle.
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush dipped in lukewarm water and mild soap, then air dry.
Midsole foam feels less responsive over time
Allow the shoe at least 24 hours of rest between intensive runs to let the cushioning material decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, ensure you have the correct size based on standard UK sizing. The lacing system should be tightened evenly from the bottom eyelets to the top to avoid pressure points. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from excessive heat sources like radiators to preserve the midsole foam integrity. If the trainers become soiled, clean them with a soft brush and mild detergent, allowing them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight. Rotating your shoes between workouts can help extend the life of the cushioning materials.
