FAQs

Who is the ASICS Superblast 'Aurora Green' designed for?

These trainers are primarily designed for adult male runners seeking maximum energy return and a propulsive feel, suitable for tempo runs, speed work, and racing.

What makes the cushioning system unique?

The combination of FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam and FLYTEFOAM PROPEL technology in the forefoot delivers exceptional energy return and a highly responsive, cushioned ride.

Can I use these shoes for walking or everyday wear?

While comfortable, the Superblast is engineered for running performance. Their advanced cushioning and responsive nature are best utilized for running activities to experience their full benefits.

How do I clean my ASICS Superblast trainers?

Hand wash with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, and allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the main benefit of the breathable mesh upper?

The breathable mesh upper provides excellent ventilation to keep your feet cool and comfortable, even during intense or long runs.

Are these shoes suitable for runners with wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you typically require wider shoes, it's recommended to try them on or consult ASICS sizing guides for wider options, if available.

What is the difference between FF BLAST PLUS ECO and FLYTEFOAM PROPEL?

FF BLAST PLUS ECO provides lightweight, plush cushioning and superior energy return. FLYTEFOAM PROPEL is specifically in the forefoot to enhance responsiveness and create a propulsive sensation during toe-off.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is designed for durability and offers reliable traction, intended to withstand the demands of regular running on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or causes pressure points.

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. Experiment with different lacing techniques. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness after several uses.

Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect the foam. While the foams are durable, consistent heavy use will naturally lead to some compression over time. Check for any damage to the midsole.

Upper material feels less breathable than expected.

Ensure the mesh is clear of any dirt or debris that could obstruct airflow. If the shoes are new, they may need a few runs to break in and for the materials to adapt to your foot.

Slipping occurs during runs, especially on wet surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or pebbles. The Superblast is designed for good traction, but extremely wet or slick conditions may still present challenges. Check for wear on the outsole tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Superblast trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up and go. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, without any pressure points.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are compatible with most running orthotics. They perform best on road surfaces and light trails.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using washing machines or dryers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or direct sunlight for extended periods.
