FAQs
Who is the ASICS Novablast 5 designed for?
The ASICS Novablast 5 is designed for medium-weight adult runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and a dynamic, energetic ride for daily training and longer distances.
What is the main cushioning technology used?
The shoe features the newly developed FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole, which provides excellent springy cushioning and enhances energy return for a dynamic feel.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
No, the ASICS Novablast 5 is primarily designed for road running. While its outsole offers good traction, it is not optimized for the demands of trail terrain.
How does the upper contribute to comfort?
The redesigned jacquard mesh upper offers improved breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable, and provides a secure and supportive fit.
What is the 'trampoline effect' mentioned?
The innovative design of the midsole creates a trampoline effect, supporting a responsive rolling motion and contributing to a smooth, energetic ride with every step.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made with AHAR rubber, known for its durability and high-grip properties, designed to provide reliable traction and withstand wear on road surfaces.
Can I use these shoes for racing?
Yes, the shoe's lightweight and dynamic nature, combined with its energy-returning cushioning, makes it a suitable option for ambitious runners looking for performance during training and racing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size or model for your foot type.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The midsole cushioning naturally breaks down with extensive use. Ensure you are rotating shoes if you run frequently, and check for any signs of wear on the outsole or upper that might indicate the shoe has reached the end of its lifespan.
Lack of traction on wet surfaces
The AHAR outsole provides good grip, but performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For significant wet weather running, consider specialized wet-weather running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Novablast 5 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the correct fit by trying them on with your usual running socks. The lacing system allows for a customizable fit; tighten as needed for support.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for road running surfaces. While they offer good traction, they are not designed for technical trail running.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and mud from the outsole and upper. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, remove insoles and laces, and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
