FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Novablast 5 cushioning?
The FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning provides a significant energetic rebound, creating a 'trampoline effect' that enhances propulsion and makes running feel more dynamic and less strenuous.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Novablast 5's combination of cushioning and energy return makes them a good option for marathon runners, particularly for race day or long training runs where comfort and efficiency are key.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
While the cushioning is comfortable, the Novablast 5 is specifically designed for road running. For gym workouts involving lateral movements or weightlifting, cross-training shoes might offer better stability and support.
How do I clean my ASICS Novablast 5 trainers?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the exterior. For the interior, a gentle wipe is recommended. Always air dry away from heat and avoid machine washing.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
For optimal performance, running shoes like the Novablast 5 typically last between 300 to 500 miles (480 to 800 kilometers) of running. This can vary based on running style, surface, and weight.
Is the mesh upper waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and airflow, not waterproofing. It will allow water to pass through if submerged.
What does AHAR stand for?
AHAR stands for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. It's a durable rubber compound used in the outsole to provide enhanced wear resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different lacing technique might help.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning will naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended lifespan for running shoes (typically 300-500 miles). Clean the shoes as per care instructions.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the AHAR outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution and reduce speed on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Novablast 5 trainers are ready to use out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a proper fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or run initially to get accustomed to the cushioning and feel.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for road running. They are compatible with most running surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and standard running tracks. They are not recommended for technical trail running due to their design and outsole.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Novablast 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: Clean using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and affect cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
