FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the ASICS Novablast 5?
The ASICS Novablast 5 is designed as a versatile daily trainer, suitable for a wide range of runs from recovery miles to tempo efforts, offering both comfort and energetic responsiveness.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the cushioning and energetic ride make them a good option for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who prefer a more cushioned and responsive feel.
How do they compare to previous Novablast models?
The Novablast 5 generally offers enhanced cushioning and stability compared to earlier versions, with an updated upper for improved fit and breathability.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. The outsole provides good traction on pavement, but lacks the aggressive lugs needed for technical trail terrain.
What does 'FF BLAST PLUS ECO' cushioning mean?
FF BLAST PLUS ECO is ASICS' cushioning technology that uses softer, lighter foam for a comfortable and responsive feel, with an emphasis on using recycled materials for environmental sustainability.
How should I clean my Novablast 5 trainers?
Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the fit like?
The Novablast 5 generally offers a accommodating fit, though some users with very narrow feet might find them slightly wide. The engineered woven upper provides a secure lockdown.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For tightness, try loosening the laces, especially across the midfoot. For looseness, ensure laces are tied securely and consider a runner's knot.
Slight discomfort in the heel
Ensure socks are properly positioned and consider using thicker socks. Break in the shoes gradually over a few runs.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The AHARPLUS outsole offers good grip, but wet conditions can always reduce traction. Run with caution on slick surfaces.
