FAQs
What is the main benefit of the ASICS Novablast 5?
The primary benefit is its energized and dynamic running experience, achieved through its midsole and outsole geometry that promotes greater energy return with each step.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
The Novablast 5 is designed for an energized ride, which may be quite responsive. Beginners might prefer a shoe with a more traditional, softer cushioning profile, but individuals looking for a more dynamic feel can certainly use them.
How do I clean my Novablast 5 shoes?
Clean the shoes using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using strong detergents. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What does 'tongue wing construction' mean?
This refers to a design in the upper where the tongue is anchored or connected to the sides of the shoe, improving the lockdown and creating a more secure, comfortable fit.
Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?
Yes, at least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled materials. Additionally, the sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that reduces water and carbon emissions.
What type of running are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best for road running and are particularly well-suited for tempo runs, interval training, and daily runs where an energized and responsive feel is desired.
Can I use these for walking or gym workouts?
While they can be worn for walking, their design is optimized for running. For dedicated gym workouts, a shoe with a flatter, more stable base might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Try lacing through the tongue wing eyelets to enhance lockdown. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean, especially the outsole, as accumulated dirt can affect grip and feel. Allow shoes to dry completely between runs.
Discomfort in the midfoot
Check the lacing to ensure even pressure distribution. The tongue wing construction aims to improve fit, so ensure it's lying flat and not bunching.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Novablast 5 shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
