FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The NOVABLAST 6 provides significant neutral cushioning that can accommodate various arch types, though those requiring specific stability features should check if the neutral platform meets their needs.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and treadmill use, the high stack height is less ideal for heavy lifting where a stable, flat base is preferred.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the mesh construction is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.
How often should I replace my NOVABLAST 6 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing; if you prefer extra toe room for long-distance swelling, some runners choose to size up by half a size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly against your heel.
Midsole feeling less responsive after many miles
Check if the midsole foam has reached its expected lifespan; typically, high-performance foam should be replaced every 400-500 miles.
Accumulation of dust or debris in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush or pressurized air to gently dislodge particles from the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the NOVABLAST 6 is designed for a performance fit. Before your first run, wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam and mesh.
- Rotation: Allow 24 hours between runs for the midsole foam to fully decompress and recover its shape.
