Full details
The ASICS Novablast 5 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking an energized and comfortable running experience, particularly for neutral pronation. Its key benefit is the FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning, providing both a soft landing and a powerful toe-off. A potential consideration is that maximum cushioning may not be ideal for runners who prefer a very firm feel underfoot. This guide will help you understand and maximize the benefits of your Novablast 5 trainers.

FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Novablast 5 best for?
The ASICS Novablast 5 is ideal for adult female runners with a neutral pronation who seek maximum cushioning for daily training, tempo runs, and long distances. It provides a soft landing and an energetic toe-off.
How should I clean my Novablast 5 trainers?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes to preserve their materials and cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for trail running?
No, the Novablast 5 trainers are designed for road running and general training. The AHAR® LO outsole provides good traction on pavement but is not optimized for trail terrain.
What does 'neutral pronation' mean?
Neutral pronation means your foot rolls inward a normal amount after landing, distributing impact evenly. These shoes are designed to support that natural motion without correction.
Do these trainers use sustainable materials?
Yes, the ASICS Novablast 5 trainers incorporate recycled materials in their construction, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How durable is the outsole?
The trainers feature AHAR® LO outsoles, which are designed for durability and offer reliable traction, helping to extend the lifespan of the shoes.
Can I use these for racing?
While they offer responsive cushioning, the Novablast 5 is primarily a daily trainer. For competitive racing, ASICS offers specific racing shoe models that are lighter and more performance-oriented.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with specialized running laces that offer better grip.
Feet feel too warm during runs
The jacquard mesh offers good breathability, but on very hot days, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The AHAR® LO outsoles provide good traction on dry surfaces. For very wet conditions, exercise caution as with any running shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Cushioning feels too soft
The Novablast 5 is designed for maximum cushion. If you prefer a firmer feel, these might not be the ideal choice. Try running in them for a few more miles to see if your foot adapts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. Adjust the laces to achieve your preferred level of support. The jacquard mesh upper conforms to the foot shape over time.
Compatibility:
Designed for neutral pronation, these trainers are best suited for runners whose feet land on the outside edge or roll slightly inward. They are suitable for road running and general training purposes.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions.
