Product Information

Full details

The Asics Novablast 6 Running Trainers are designed for neutral runners seeking a balance of cloud-like comfort and high-energy responsiveness during daily training. Featuring an advanced engineered woven upper and a specialized dual-cushioning system, these shoes provide a secure fit and efficient toe-off for various road surfaces; however, runners who prefer a low-profile, minimalist feel may find the significant stack height and bounce of the trampoline pod distinctively different from traditional racing flats.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Novablast 6 is built as a neutral trainer. If you have severe overpronation, you may require additional arch support or an orthotic insert.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the combination of FF BLAST MAX cushioning and the trampoline pod makes them well-suited for high-mileage training blocks.

How often should I replace them?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait style.

Are they water-resistant?

No, the engineered woven upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.

What is the primary difference from the previous model?

The Novablast 6 refines the midsole geometry and integrates the FF TURBO SQUARED pod for more refined energy return compared to older iterations.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping or heel instability

Adjust the laces using the runner's loop or heel lock lacing technique to better utilize the tongue wing construction.

Midsole foam feels less bouncy over time

Ensure the shoes have 24-48 hours of rest between runs to allow the cushioning foam to decompress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from the trampoline pod
  • Breathable woven upper keeps feet cool
  • Secure midfoot lockdown due to tongue wing design
  • Durable outsole rubber suitable for varied road conditions
  • Balanced cushioning-to-weight ratio

Cons

  • High stack height may feel unstable for those preferring ground feel
  • The distinctive bounce might require an adjustment period
  • Limited suitability for technical trail running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Novablast 6 trainers, follow these maintenance practices:

  1. Sizing: These trainers are available in various UK sizes; ensure a thumb-width of space in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during runs.
  2. Cleaning: Remove loose debris with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the engineered woven upper. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the foam composition.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the midsole foam to harden or yellow prematurely.
  4. Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate these with another pair of shoes to allow the foam cells to fully recover between sessions.
