Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too firm/stiff initially

The Novablast 5 often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to your stride.

Laces coming undone during runs

Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing laces with ones that have better grip if this is a recurring problem.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

Cushioning materials naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose and avoid excessive exposure to heat or harsh chemicals.
