Troubleshooting

Color does not match expectation

Colors may vary slightly due to differences in lighting conditions during photography and individual monitor display settings. Refer to product images for general representation.

Initial discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a secure yet not overly tight fit. Wear with appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the shoe may not be the ideal fit for your foot shape.

Cushioning feels too firm

The Novablast series is known for its responsive, sometimes firmer, cushioning. Allow for a break-in period. If a softer feel is preferred, this model might not be the best fit; consider other ASICS models designed for maximum cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

No specific setup is required for the ASICS Novablast 5 Tokyo. Simply remove the shoes from their original packaging. Ensure they fit comfortably before your first run. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or light jog initially to acclimate to the fit and feel.

Compatibility

These running shoes are designed for road running. They are compatible with standard running socks. While they are not designed for trail running, they can handle light gravel paths. They are suitable for runners with neutral pronation. For individuals requiring significant stability, consider pairing with orthotics or consulting a running specialist for advice.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Spot clean using a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.

  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
  • Usage: Rotate with other running shoes if possible to extend the lifespan of the cushioning and materials.
