Product Information
Full details
The Asics NOVABLAST 5 is designed for neutral runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a highly cushioned, energetic ride for daily training sessions. Its primary benefit is the combination of lightweight FF BLAST MAX foam and a responsive trampoline-inspired outsole that provides a springy feel underfoot; however, those requiring high levels of structural stability or arch support may find the plush, soft nature of this shoe less suitable for overpronation control.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the NOVABLAST 5 is designed with high-rebound foam suitable for long-distance training and endurance running.
Can I use these for trail running?
While these are excellent for roads and smooth paths, the outsole is optimized for road surfaces rather than technical, uneven trails.
Do these have arch support?
These are neutral trainers and do not feature specific medial posting for overpronation control.
How do I clean the reflective elements?
Wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing which can damage the reflective coating.
Is the midsole cushioning durable?
The FF BLAST MAX foam is designed to retain its springiness for many miles, though foam compression is a normal part of its lifecycle.
Troubleshooting
Tongue sliding to one side
Adjust the laces through the tongue wing loop to ensure it is centered and properly tightened.
Build-up of dirt in the mesh
Use a soft brush after the mud has completely dried to dislodge debris from the mesh pores.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a runner's loop lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the rearfoot counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Asics NOVABLAST 5, ensure your sizing is correct, allowing for a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. If you use custom orthotics, the factory-fitted sockliner is removable to accommodate your medical insoles. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the mesh upper by gently brushing away dried mud with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth to wipe the surface. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can degrade the foam and glue.
