Troubleshooting
My tongue keeps slipping to the side during runs.
The NOVABLAST 5 features a tongue wing construction designed to minimize movement. Ensure your laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets and tied securely to engage this feature fully. If the issue persists, double-check your sizing for an optimal fit.
My feet feel too warm or sweaty during my runs.
The shoe uses a breathable jacquard mesh upper. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If the problem continues, consider running in cooler parts of the day or ensuring your shoes are completely dry before each run.
I'm not feeling the promised 'energized' or 'responsive' ride.
The energized feel comes from the FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning and trampoline-inspired design. This shoe is optimized for neutral runners and short to medium distances. Ensure your running style aligns with a neutral stride and you are not exceeding the recommended distance for its optimal performance. Also, check if your shoes are nearing the end of their typical lifespan (generally 300-500 miles, depending on individual usage).
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Fitting & Initial Setup
- Try On: When you first receive your NOVABLAST 5, try them on with your usual running socks. Walk around to assess the fit.
- Lacing: Utilize the lacing system to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. The tongue wing construction is designed to keep the tongue in place, so ensure it sits flat against your foot.
- Toe Space: Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This prevents toe jamming during your stride.
Compatibility
- Runner Type: The NOVABLAST 5 is specifically designed for neutral runners. If you have significant pronation (foot rolls inward), you might consider a stability shoe.
- Stride: Suitable for various neutral stride patterns, offering a balanced and energetic ride.
- Ideal Distance: Best suited for short to medium distances, including daily training, fast races, and tempo runs. It provides optimal cushioning and responsiveness for these lengths.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and performance of your ASICS NOVABLAST 5 shoes:
- Cleaning: After runs, especially in dirty conditions, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a soft cloth or sponge to gently clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes. This allows the cushioning to fully recover between runs and extends the lifespan of each pair.
