Is this shoe good for runners with wide feet?

How should I clean my Novablast 4 shoes?

What is the expected lifespan of the Novablast 4?

Is the cushioning too soft for stability?
The Novablast 4 is a neutral shoe with a high level of cushioning, designed for energy return. Runners needing significant pronation support might require a stability shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or constrictive
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The upper material may also loosen slightly with use.
Reduced bounce or responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris, particularly in the midsole. Consistent use on varied surfaces can also affect perceived responsiveness. Consider if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan (typically 300-500 miles).
Slipping in wet conditions
While the outsole provides good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution on wet surfaces and consider alternative footwear for very slippery conditions if traction is a primary concern.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
