The Novablast 5 is primarily designed for road running. While it can handle light paths, it is not optimized for technical trails due to its outsole design.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., window lacing, heel lock) to achieve a personalized, secure fit.
Reduced bounce or responsiveness over time.
Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. Over time, cushioning can compress; this is normal wear and tear, but proper care can help maintain performance.
Discomfort during initial runs.
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and geometry. Gradually increase mileage.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
The outsole offers general traction. Be cautious on very wet or slippery surfaces, as specialized trail shoes may offer superior grip in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by lacing them snugly, adjusting to your comfort level. The lace system allows for a personalized fit, so take a moment to ensure they are neither too tight nor too loose.
Compatibility:
The Novablast 5 is designed primarily for road running. Its outsole provides good traction on asphalt, concrete, and other hard surfaces. While it can handle light, well-maintained paths, it is not optimized for technical trails or very rough terrain.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade the foam and fabrics.
