The ASICS Novablast 5 is engineered for an energetic running experience, suitable for various training runs from daily jogs to tempo efforts. The combination of FF Blast Max cushioning and the trampoline-inspired outsole provides a noticeable bounce, propelling you forward and making each stride feel lighter. This makes it an excellent choice for runners who enjoy a lively underfoot feel and want to add a spring to their step.
The breathable jacquard mesh upper ensures your feet remain comfortable and well-ventilated, even during longer sessions, helping to prevent discomfort from heat buildup. The tongue wing construction works to prevent slippage and hot spots around the instep, contributing to a secure, distraction-free fit throughout your run.
For runners who frequently train in dim conditions, the integrated reflective details offer an added layer of safety by increasing your visibility to others, whether you're on urban streets or quiet paths. This shoe is designed to make your runs feel more enjoyable, less fatiguing, and can encourage faster pacing due to its responsive nature.
Try On: When you first receive your ASICS Novablast 5, try them on with your typical running socks. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, with about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Break-In Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short runs (2-3 miles) to fully adapt to the shoe's cushioning and feel. This helps the materials conform to your foot.
Designed for adult female runners.
Generally suitable for neutral pronation due to its responsive, bouncy nature. If you are unsure of your pronation type, consult a running specialist.
Ideal for road running, track workouts, and light paved trails where an energetic and cushioned feel is desired.
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and debris using a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Create a soapy solution, then use a soft brush or cloth to scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: After cleaning, air dry your shoes completely away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your Novablast 5s in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot environments (e.g., a car trunk) for extended periods, as this can degrade materials.
Rotation: Consider rotating your Novablast 5s with another pair of running shoes. This practice can extend the lifespan of both pairs by allowing the cushioning to decompress and recover between runs.
