Getting started with your Novablast 5 Tokyo Trainers is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you have specific fit preferences.
Break-In: While generally comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short runs to fully adapt to the shoe's cushioning and feel.
Running Surface: Best suited for road running, track, and light, paved paths. The outsole provides optimal grip and durability on these surfaces.
Foot Type: Designed for runners with neutral pronation.
Activities: Ideal for daily training, tempo runs, long runs, and casual wear.
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your trainers:
Cleaning: Refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials. Remove the EVA sockliner to air it out separately after runs.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in extreme heat or damp conditions.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow the cushioning to fully decompress and extend their overall life.
