Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Novablast 5 is an advanced running shoe designed for female runners seeking a highly cushioned and exceptionally bouncy experience during daily training and road runs. Its core benefit lies in the updated FF BLAST MAX foam combined with a trampoline-inspired outsole, delivering significant energy return and a noticeably faster, more energised stride. While excelling in comfort and bounce for everyday use, users should note its primary design focus on cushioned, energised runs rather than minimalist speed racing.

Is this shoe suitable for neutral runners or those needing stability?

How much does the ASICS Novablast 5 weigh?

Does this shoe use recycled materials?
Yes, a minimum of 79% of the primary upper material in the ASICS Novablast 5 consists of recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability in its construction.
How do I ensure the best fit with the Novablast 5?
The technical mesh upper and integrated tongue wings are designed for an improved fit. Lace the shoes securely, ensuring the tongue sits comfortably without excessive movement. If available, consult an ASICS size guide or get professionally fitted for optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too warm or sweaty.
The technical mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a different lacing pattern to increase airflow.
The tongue slides around during my run.
The Novablast 5 features tongue wings designed to improve fit and reduce movement. Ensure your laces are threaded through the tongue loop (if present) and tied securely but not too tightly to engage the tongue wings effectively.
I'm not feeling the expected 'bounce'.
The FF BLAST MAX™ foam and trampoline-inspired outsole provide optimal bounce on impact. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads, pavements) and that your running form allows for efficient energy return. Bounce perception can be subjective and may vary based on individual running style and previous shoe experiences.
The shoes feel less supportive or 'flat' over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which cushioning and support can degrade. Monitor your mileage and consider replacing your shoes if they feel 'flat' or if you start experiencing new aches and pains.
