Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable during a run.
Check your lacing. It might be tied too tightly. Try loosening the laces, especially around the forefoot, or experiment with different lacing techniques. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
My feet feel hot and sweaty after short runs.
While the mesh upper provides breathability, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. Allow shoes to air out completely after each run to prevent moisture buildup.
The 'bounce' or responsiveness seems to have decreased over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally compacts over extensive use. If you've accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), the cushioning may be less effective. Consider replacing your shoes.
My foot slides inside the shoe.
This could indicate the shoe is too large or not laced securely enough. Ensure laces are snug, especially around the midfoot, and consider trying a different lacing pattern to lock your heel in place.
I'm experiencing discomfort or blisters in specific areas.
Carefully inspect the inside of the shoe for any irregularities. Ensure socks are seam-free in critical areas. If issues persist, the shoe might not be the best fit for your foot shape, or a break-in period might be needed for minor adjustments. Consult a running specialist for a fit assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Compatibility
These shoes are designed for road running and are best suited for runners with a neutral ride (foot strike). They are specifically recommended for medium-weight runners looking for excellent cushioning, safety, and stability. While they offer good traction, their primary design is for paved surfaces, not rugged trails.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your Novablast 5 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For the outsole, use a brush to remove any trapped debris.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing insoles to air out after each run.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can degrade materials, glues, and the overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.
