Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Novablast 5 trainers are designed for adult runners seeking a blend of high-level cushioning and responsiveness, making them an excellent choice for daily training and long-distance runs. The key benefit of these shoes lies in their advanced midsole technology, which provides a bouncy, energetic ride that reduces impact on the legs; however, runners who prefer a low-profile, minimalist feel may find the higher stack height of the Novablast 5 to be more cushioning than they are accustomed to.

FAQs
Are the Novablast 5 suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit of the Novablast 5 is designed for an average foot shape. Runners with significantly wide feet may find them snug and might need to consider a half-size up or a specific wide-width variant if available.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
While the cushioning is excellent for running, the high stack height can be less stable for heavy lateral movements or lifting; they are best used for running and light cardio.
How often should I replace my Novablast 5 trainers?
We recommend replacing them every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the terrain you run on and your running style.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the upper is designed for maximum breathability, which means they are not waterproof and will allow water to penetrate during heavy rain.
Does the Novablast 5 come in different widths?
Availability depends on the specific region and model; please check the product listings for '2E' or other width designations.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the standard insole is removable, which allows you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure your heel in the cup.
Midsole feeling 'dead' or flat
Check your mileage; the cushioning foam will naturally lose its springiness as the shoe nears the end of its life cycle.
Upper material irritation
Ensure your socks are not too thick and that the tongue is centered correctly before tightening the laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Novablast 5, follow these guidelines for care and compatibility:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the performance socks you intend to run in when trying these on to achieve the correct fit.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your run. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole material.
- Replacement: As with most high-mileage trainers, expect the cushioning properties to begin degrading after 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
- Usage: These are performance trainers designed for running. Using them as everyday lifestyle footwear is fine, but intense daily wear will accelerate the degradation of the outsole tread.
