FAQs

The main benefit is its energetic and bouncy ride, thanks to the FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning, which provides excellent propulsion and comfort for running.
Who is the Novablast 5 best suited for?

How do I clean my Novablast 5 shoes?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of a lightweight, engineered mesh that provides excellent airflow to keep your feet cool.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole features AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) with low hardness, designed to enhance resistance against wear and tear for increased durability.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
No, the Novablast 5 is designed as a road running shoe and is optimized for paved surfaces. It is not recommended for trail running.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
Typically, running shoes like the Novablast 5 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on running style, surface, and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., window lacing, heel lock) to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The cushioning material can take a few runs to break in. If performance degrades significantly over time, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan (typically 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces
The AHAR outsole provides good grip, but like all road running shoes, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Run with caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Novablast 5 comes ready to wear. Ensure they fit correctly – there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Lace them up snugly but not too tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during runs.
Compatibility: These are road running shoes, optimized for paved surfaces like asphalt and concrete. They are generally suitable for most running gaits, but individual biomechanics may influence performance.
Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
