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.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
- 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.
