FAQs
What type of runner is the Novablast 5 best for?
The Novablast 5 is best for neutral runners who enjoy a plush, cushioned, and energetic ride, particularly for road running.

It features plush cushioning with FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, designed to provide a soft underfoot feel and a significant 'trampoline effect' for energy return.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, the Novablast 5 is specifically designed for road running. Its outsole and cushioning are optimized for paved surfaces and may not provide adequate grip or durability on trails.

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm, which promotes a balanced and efficient stride.
How much do the Novablast 5 trainers weigh?

How should I clean my Novablast 5 trainers?
Clean them by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or full submersion in water.
Are these shoes good for someone who overpronates?
These are neutral shoes and may not offer sufficient support for runners who overpronate. Runners needing stability should consider shoes with specific support features.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing thick socks initially if the fit feels snug.
Foot fatigue after first run
This can be normal with new shoes, especially with a highly cushioned design. Try shorter runs and gradually increase distance. Ensure the size is correct.
Reduced bounce over time
While the foam is durable, its responsiveness may slightly decrease with extensive use. Proper care and avoiding excessive heat can help maintain performance.
