Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
The `Breathable Jacquard Mesh` upper is designed for ventilation. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking material. If the issue persists, consider trying different sock thicknesses or lacing patterns to allow more airflow.
The shoe tongue slides to the side while running.
The `Tongue Wing Construction` is specifically designed to reduce tongue movement. Ensure your laces are threaded through the tongue loop (if available) and tied securely. A runner's knot lacing technique can further enhance midfoot lockdown and prevent tongue slippage.
The shoe's cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses over time and miles. This is a normal wear-and-tear process. The `FF BLAST™ MAX` foam has a good lifespan, but consistent use will gradually reduce its bounce. Consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to extend their individual lifespans, or consider replacement after 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and weight.
I'm experiencing less grip on wet surfaces.
While the `AHAR™ LO Outsole` provides optimized traction, all shoes can experience reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces. Be mindful of your footing in adverse conditions and adjust your stride accordingly. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that could impede traction.

The ASICS NOVABLAST 5 is designed for neutral runners. Ensure you choose the correct size; ASICS often runs true to size, but trying them on is recommended if possible. These shoes are best suited for road running and track work for short to medium distances. They pair well with various running apparel and socks. To maximize the lifespan and maintain performance, follow these care tips: After each run, remove insoles to allow for air circulation and drying. Clean the shoes using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water; avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris to maintain optimal grip. The `Sustainable design` means you're not just caring for your shoes, but also supporting environmental efforts.
