FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Novablast 5 TR for?
The Novablast 5 TR is ideal for adult female runners with a neutral gait who engage in daily training and are looking for a shoe that performs well on both roads and light trails.
What is the main difference between Novablast 5 and Novablast 5 TR?
The 'TR' in Novablast 5 TR stands for Trail and Road, indicating a hybrid outsole designed for better traction on varied surfaces compared to the standard Novablast 5, which is primarily a road running shoe.
How much cushioning does this shoe offer?
It features FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning, which provides a soft, lightweight, and energetic feel underfoot, offering excellent shock absorption.
Can I use these shoes for racing?
While they offer an energetic ride, they are primarily designed for training. For racing, especially shorter distances, you might consider a lighter, more performance-oriented racing shoe. However, they can be suitable for longer training runs or slower-paced races.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the ASICS Novablast 5 TR are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and will not provide protection against heavy rain or water immersion.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm.
How do I clean my Novablast 5 TR shoes?
Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, and allow them to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them evenly, ensuring they are not too tight across the instep.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The hybrid outsole offers good grip on various surfaces, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very wet conditions, consider slower speeds or more cautious footing.
Cushioning feels too soft or too firm
Cushioning can feel different based on individual weight and running style. The FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam is designed for a balance of softness and responsiveness. Give the shoes a break-in period of a few runs to adapt to your stride.
