FAQs
Is the Novablast 6 suitable for overpronation?
The Novablast 6 is primarily designed as a neutral running shoe. If you require significant arch support or stability features for severe overpronation, consider an ASICS stability model.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the cushioning and energy return properties make them an excellent choice for high-mileage marathon training blocks.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are they waterproof?
No, the engineered woven upper is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if stepped in puddles.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Most users find the Novablast series to run true to size, though it is always recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen.
Troubleshooting
Midfoot feels too loose
Adjust the laces using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to better utilize the tongue wing construction for a secure fit.
Outer sole shows premature wear
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road or treadmill surfaces; abrasive surfaces like concrete or grit can accelerate wear on the outsole rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Novablast 6 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While the shoe is comfortable out of the box, allow 1-2 short runs for the foam to settle and the upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a mild soap and a soft brush. Never put them in the washing machine or dryer, as extreme heat can damage the foam properties and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper materials to fade or weaken over time.
