Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Adjust your lacing tension; ensure it's snug but not restrictive. Check that you are wearing appropriate running socks to prevent friction. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size and width, as fit is crucial.
Loss of 'bounce' or reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on individual use and running style. Track your mileage and consider that it might be time for a replacement if the cushioning feels significantly diminished or you experience new aches.
Slipping or reduced traction on various surfaces
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear, particularly in high-contact areas. Clean any mud, dirt, or debris from the treads using a soft brush. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoe's traction capabilities will be reduced, indicating it's time for a new pair.

Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and extend the life of your ASICS NOVABLAST 5 shoes, follow these simple care tips:
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes naturally. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use a machine dryer, as excessive heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving them in damp environments to prevent odor and mildew.
- Rotate: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes. This allows the cushioning to fully recover between runs and extends the lifespan of each pair.
