Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to better accommodate your foot's width and arch. You might try skipping an eyelet or using different lacing techniques like 'heel lock' for a more secure fit.
Experiencing discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check for any debris inside the shoe. Allow for an initial break-in period, although Novablast shoes are generally comfortable from the start. If discomfort persists, reassess sizing or consult with a running specialist.
Outsole grip seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the shoe features a high-grip outsole, extreme conditions can still affect traction. Reduce speed and shorten your stride on wet or slippery surfaces. Regularly clean the outsole to remove embedded dirt that could compromise grip.
Shoes are making a squeaking noise
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the midsole. Remove the insole and allow both the shoe interior and the insole to air dry completely. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your ASICS NOVABLAST 5 sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort level. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight to prevent pressure points and allow for natural foot expansion during your run. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience discomfort or pressure.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for medium-weight runners and are highly versatile for various running activities:
- Training Runs: Excellent for daily mileage, providing consistent comfort and cushioning.
- Tempo Runs: Responsive enough to handle moderate pace increases.
- Races: Can be a great option for races where maximal cushioning is desired for comfort over longer distances.
- Surfaces: The high-grip outsole makes them suitable for road running and light track usage.
Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your ASICS NOVABLAST 5:
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and debris after each run. For tougher stains, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Novablast 5 with another pair of running shoes. This allows the cushioning to fully recover and can prolong the life of both pairs.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for excessive wear and the upper for tears or damage. Replacing shoes before they are completely worn out can prevent injuries.
