FAQs
Is the Novablast 5 suitable for racing?

Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability
Check your lacing technique; try a 'runner's loop' to secure the heel more firmly.
Midsole foam feels stiff
Ensure the ambient temperature is not extremely cold, as foam density can change in freezing conditions.
Excessive debris build-up
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the outsole tread after each run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Novablast 5 trainers, proper care is essential.
- Break-in: While the shoes feel comfortable out of the box, allow 15-20 miles for the midsole to fully adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air-dry in a cool, shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent moisture buildup in the lining.
