Full details

The Asics Novablast 6 is a high-performance running trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize energy return and cushioning during daily training sessions. By combining advanced FF BLAST MAX foam with a specialized trampoline pod, these shoes offer a responsive, energized bounce, though the specialized foam geometry may feel slightly bulky to runners accustomed to minimal, low-profile footwear.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from the trampoline pod
  • Soft, cushioned landings for joint protection
  • Enhanced traction via the ASICSGRIP outsole
  • Breathable woven upper keeps feet temperature-regulated
  • Secure midfoot fit thanks to the tongue wing design

Cons

  • High stack height may feel unstable to some runners
  • Not intended for technical trail running
  • Slightly heavier feel due to advanced cushioning tech

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.
