Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Novablast 5 is designed for adult runners seeking a high-energy, responsive ride for daily training sessions. By integrating advanced cushioning technology with a lightweight, breathable build, these trainers provide a cloud-like sensation on pavement or road surfaces; however, runners seeking maximum ground feel or barefoot-style stability may find the thick, bouncy midsole to be overly plush.

FAQs
Is the Novablast 5 suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is accommodating, but if you have notably wide feet, you may find the mesh upper offers some flexibility, though it is constructed as a standard width profile.
Can these be used for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill running, the high stack height is not ideal for heavy lifting or lateral-movement activities where ground stability is required.
How often should I replace the Novablast 5?
Generally, running shoes like these should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and strike pattern.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow and will not prevent water from entering during heavy rain.
How do I ensure the best grip on wet roads?
The durable outsole is designed for standard road conditions; however, always exercise caution on wet, slick surfaces like metal grates or painted road markings.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of debris underfoot
Check the grooves of the trampoline-inspired outsole and gently remove any rocks or gravel that may have become lodged.
Shoe feels too tight during long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces mid-run or switching to a thinner pair of technical running socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Novablast 5, follow these simple care instructions. First, ensure you have the correct size; the UK 5 fit is true to size for standard adult runners, but we recommend wearing your preferred running socks when trying them on to verify proper clearance in the toe box.
Care instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam's performance.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight or radiators.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair to allow the foam to fully recover its shape between uses.
