Getting started with your Novablast 5 shoes is straightforward:

Initial Wear: We recommend a few short runs or walks to allow the shoes to naturally mold to your feet, especially given the new FF BLAST™ MAX foam.
Running Surface: Best suited for road running on paved surfaces, asphalt, and tracks.
Foot Type: Designed for runners with a neutral stride, meaning those who do not overpronate or supinate significantly.
Runner Profile: Ideal for athletes seeking a cushioned, energetic, and lightweight shoe for daily training, tempo runs, and potentially longer distances.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your ASICS Novablast 5:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Remove insoles to aid drying.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
Odour Control: If odours develop, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight.
Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris (like small stones) and remove them to prevent damage.
