FAQs
Are these shoes good for marathon running?
Yes, the responsive cushioning and comfortable fit make the NOVABLAST 5 TR suitable for marathon distances, especially if your training includes varied terrain.
Can I use these for trail running races?
They are suitable for light to moderate trail running. For highly technical or muddy courses, a shoe with more aggressive outsole lugs and protection might be a better choice.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
What is the difference between the NOVABLAST 5 TR and the regular NOVABLAST 5?
The 'TR' designation typically indicates a version optimized for trail running, usually featuring a more durable outsole with enhanced traction patterns compared to the road-focused regular version.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is constructed from durable rubber designed to withstand regular use on various surfaces. However, longevity will depend on running frequency, terrain, and running style.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For best comfort and performance, wear moisture-wicking running socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, which can retain moisture.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during running
Check for any small objects (pebbles, debris) lodged in the outsole or cushioning. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not causing interference.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct shoe size and width have been selected. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the fit around the ankle and midfoot. Wear with appropriate running socks.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole provides versatile traction but may have reduced performance on very wet, slippery surfaces compared to specialized trail shoes. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for optimal fit. We recommend trying them on indoors before use to confirm comfort and fit.
Compatibility: The NOVABLAST 5 TR is designed for adult male runners. While versatile, they perform best on roads, paved paths, and light to moderate trails. They are not intended for highly technical, muddy, or extremely rocky terrain where specialized trail shoes are recommended.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can alter the shoe's shape and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
