FAQs
Is the Novablast 5 suitable for trail running?
While it features a high-grip outsole for roads, it is primarily designed for paved surfaces and light, groomed paths.
Does this shoe provide stability for flat feet?
The Novablast 5 is built as a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may want to look into stability-specific models.
How many miles can I expect from the midsole?
While individual results vary based on terrain and running style, most runners find the foam maintains its responsiveness for 300 to 500 miles.
Is this shoe true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to size, though the technical mesh provides a slightly snug, athletic fit.
Can I use these for racing?
Yes, they are highly capable for road racing, offering enough cushioning for half and full marathons.
How do I clean the white mesh upper?
Use a soft toothbrush and a mixture of water and gentle soap, dabbing the stained areas and wiping with a clean cloth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping in the heel
Try the runner's loop (lace lock) method using the top-most eyelet to secure the heel fit.
Midsole foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
Allow the shoes to sit in a room-temperature environment for an hour before running; the foam performs best when not frozen.
Accumulation of debris in outsole grooves
Use a blunt plastic tool or stiff brush to remove pebbles from the outsole patterns to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Novablast 5, ensure that you choose the correct UK sizing for your specific foot dimensions, as the technical mesh offers a form-fitting feel. When putting them on, fully unlace the eyelets to allow your foot to sit deep in the heel counter before tightening. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the FF Blast foam. If the shoes become muddy, hand-wash with mild detergent and a soft brush, then let them air-dry naturally away from direct sunlight or radiators.
