FAQs

What type of runner is the Novablast 5 best suited for?

The Novablast 5 is ideal for adult male runners looking for a cushioned and energetic shoe for daily training, tempo runs, and long distances. It caters to both new and experienced runners.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

The Novablast 5 features FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning, which provides a soft, lightweight feel and a responsive, trampoline-like effect for enhanced propulsion.

How breathable is the upper of the shoe?

The shoes have a soft, lightweight engineered mesh upper designed to provide optimal airflow, helping to keep your feet cool and fresh during your runs.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is made with AHAR low hardness material, which is engineered to enhance resistance against wear and tear, contributing to the shoe's longevity.

What are the primary materials used in the shoe?

The Novablast 5 is made with a combination of synthetics, mesh, and rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

These shoes are specifically designed for road running. While they may handle light, well-maintained paths, they are not optimized for the varied terrain and demands of trail running.

How should I care for my Novablast 5 shoes?

Please refer to the product label for precise care instructions. Generally, cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is recommended. Avoid machine washing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust lacing to find the most comfortable and secure fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

This can be normal wear and tear. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended mileage for optimal performance. Clean the shoes to remove any debris that might affect cushioning.

Feet feel hot or sweaty

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability, but very high temperatures or intense activity may still lead to some warmth.

Outsole showing signs of excessive wear

This may indicate running on abrasive surfaces or a change in running gait. The AHAR outsole is durable, but excessive wear can occur with heavy use or improper surface contact.
