Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Novablast 5 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking an energized and comfortable experience. Their key benefit is the FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning, offering both soft landings and powerful toe-offs for training runs. A potential consideration is their design for neutral pronation, meaning they are best suited for runners with a neutral gait and may not offer sufficient support for overpronators.

The ASICS Novablast 5 is designed for adult female runners with a neutral pronation who are looking for a cushioned and energetic shoe for daily training and longer runs.

Are these shoes durable?
Yes, they feature AHAR® LO outsoles, which are known for their durability and ability to provide good traction on various surfaces.
Can I use these for trail running?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extended use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of running.
Poor traction on wet surfaces.
The AHAR® outsole provides good grip, but performance on very wet or slippery surfaces may vary. Use caution in such conditions.
Breathability seems insufficient during very hot weather.
While designed for breathability, extreme heat can still be a factor. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking, and consider shorter runs if discomfort arises.
