FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Novablast 6 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushioning, it does not feature heavy medial posting for severe overpronation; consider orthotics if you require extra support.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the ASICSGRIP rubber provides good traction, these are designed primarily for road and hard-packed surfaces and do not offer the protection or lug depth required for technical trails.
How long should the foam last?
Depending on your surface and weight, the midsole cushioning typically maintains its energy-returning properties for 300 to 500 miles of use.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the engineered woven upper is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
Do these run true to size?
Generally, yes, but the internal fit is performance-oriented. If you prefer extra room in the toe box, consider trying a half-size larger than your standard casual shoe size.
Troubleshooting
Tongue sliding to the side during runs
Ensure the tongue wing construction is pulled taut when lacing up, and use the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the midfoot.
Excessive wear on outsole rubber
Check your gait for excessive dragging; if the wear is localized, consider a professional gait analysis to ensure the shoe type matches your mechanics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Novablast 6 trainers, it is essential to allow the foam to decompress for at least 24 hours between runs if used daily. Ensure the laces are adjusted using the tongue wing construction to center the tongue for a personalized midfoot lock.
For cleaning, remove loose dirt using a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Never place these trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the FF BLAST foam and the adhesive layers. Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
