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.
