FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Novablast 5 is designed as a daily trainer and is well-suited for the varied mileage required for marathon prep.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are ideal for treadmill running and light gym activity, though they are primarily optimized for forward-motion running rather than heavy lateral-movement sports.
How long should the foam last?
Typical lifespan is between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are constructed with breathable materials that are not waterproof or water-resistant.
Do I need to break them in?
While they are comfortable out of the box, most runners find the foam feels most responsive after the first 20-30 miles of use.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during running
Utilize the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar.
Midsole foam shows deep creases
This is a normal characteristic of high-rebound foams and does not necessarily indicate a loss of structural integrity; rotate your shoes to allow the foam 24 hours to recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you have the correct size to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise; a thumb's width of space at the toe is recommended. To maintain the trainers, wipe them down with a damp cloth after runs to remove dust and debris. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the foam integrity and adhesive. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with paper towels to air-dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area.
