Troubleshooting

Feeling of instability during runs

Ensure laces are properly tied for a secure fit, but not overly tight. Re-evaluate if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot, as an ill-fitting shoe can impact stability. While designed for stability, individual biomechanics can vary, so consider consulting a running specialist if issues persist.

Outsole losing grip or slipping

Regularly clean the outsole to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be compromising traction. Also, consider the running surface; the high-grip outsole performs optimally on its intended surfaces. Avoid excessively wet or icy conditions where any shoe's grip can be challenged.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time

Running shoe cushioning materials can compress and degrade with mileage and age. Track your mileage; if the shoe has accumulated a significant number of miles (generally 300-500 miles, though this varies), the cushioning may have reached the end of its effective lifespan. Regular rotation with other running shoes can help extend the life of your NOVABLAST 5.
