FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS NOVABLAST 5 best suited for?
They are ideal for neutral runners who are looking for a shoe with high cushioning and excellent energy return for daily training on asphalt.
Can I use these shoes for racing?
While they offer great energy return, they are primarily designed as a daily trainer. For dedicated racing, ASICS offers specific racing shoe models. However, they can be used for longer races if preferred for their comfort and cushioning.
How much cushioning does the FF BLAST MAX foam provide?
FF BLAST MAX foam is ASICS' softest and most energetic foam compound, offering superior shock absorption and a responsive feel.
What is the drop of the ASICS NOVABLAST 5?
The shoe has an 8mm drop, which is a balanced design suitable for a wide range of runners.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the NOVABLAST 5 is designed for asphalt and hard, even surfaces. The outsole may not provide adequate grip or durability on trails, and debris could get trapped in the midsole grooves.
How do I clean my NOVABLAST 5 trainers?
Clean them using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the weight of the ASICS NOVABLAST 5?
The shoe weighs approximately 255 grams, making it a lightweight option for training.
Troubleshooting
Slight squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both are completely dry before reinserting.
Inconsistent cushioning feel
Ensure the laces are tied appropriately and not too tight or too loose. Check that the insole is seated correctly.
Upper material feels restrictive
This may be due to the initial stiffness of a new shoe. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the mesh to conform to your foot shape.
