Yes, they generally follow standard ASICS sizing conventions for adult trainers.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely, the cushioning system is designed specifically to provide comfort and energy return for long-distance endurance running.
How should I clean the grey fabric?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Never machine wash or tumble dry.

Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are securely tied to improve midfoot lockdown and stability.
Visible wear on the outsole after minimal use
Check your running gait to see if you have an uneven strike pattern or are dragging your feet; avoid using road trainers on abrasive trail surfaces.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Novablast 5 trainers will extend their performance lifespan. For setup, ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the midfoot in place without restricting circulation. Compatibility is highest with road running conditions; avoid heavy trail use to prevent premature wear on the outsole grip.
Maintenance Tips:
- Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth after dusty runs.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp foam materials.
- Remove the internal sockliner periodically to allow moisture to evaporate.
- Replace the shoes after 300-500 miles to ensure the midsole foam maintains its structural integrity.
