Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. Wear them for short walks indoors to break them in gradually.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
This is normal wear. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or when you notice a decline in performance and comfort. Proper care can extend their lifespan.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for traction on dry to damp surfaces. Be cautious on extremely wet or slick surfaces, as with any running shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Novablast 5 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. Always try them on indoors before use on outdoor surfaces.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are best suited for road running on asphalt or similar paved surfaces. They are not intended for trail running or sports requiring lateral stability.
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: Consider rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes to allow them to dry out and recover their cushioning between runs.
