Info needed: [Specific information on arch support or pronation control. Generally, the Novablast line is considered neutral, focusing on cushioning rather than motion control.] Consult a running specialist for personalized advice.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel less cushioned or responsive over time.
Running shoes' midsoles compress and lose their cushioning properties with use. This is normal wear and tear. Consider replacing your shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain.
Experiencing rubbing or hot spots during runs.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Check your lacing technique; try different patterns to alleviate pressure points. Experiment with different running socks, as material and thickness can impact comfort. Allow for a break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your feet.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or trapped debris (small stones, mud). Clean the outsole regularly. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may indicate the shoes are nearing the end of their lifespan and might need replacement.
Shoes are making an unusual squeaking sound.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's lasting board. Remove the insoles, clean and dry both surfaces, then reinsert. If the sound persists, it might be a material interaction within the shoe and typically does not affect performance.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS Novablast 5:
- Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with a mild soap (like dish soap) and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
