How do I clean my ASICS NOVABLAST 5?
Clean with a soft brush and cold water, using mild soap if necessary. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
What is the main benefit of the tongue wing construction?
The tongue wing construction is designed to improve midfoot fit and reduce tongue slippage, ensuring a more secure and consistent feel throughout your run.
Are there reflective elements on the shoe for safety?
Yes, the ASICS NOVABLAST 5 includes reflective details to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slides during runs
Ensure the tongue wing construction is properly engaged and the laces are tied securely through the lace loops, if applicable, to keep the tongue in place.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing different socks. Allow a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning foam can naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Consider rotating with other shoes to prolong the foam's responsiveness.
Foot feels too warm
The engineered mesh offers breathability, but on very hot days or intense runs, ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Check that laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your NOVABLAST 5:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate between multiple pairs of running shoes to allow them to fully dry out and recover between runs. This can extend their overall life.
