FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Novablast 6 features ample cushioning and a lightweight design that provides excellent comfort for high-mileage runs including marathons.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running shoe, they are versatile enough for general gym sessions, though they are not designed for heavy lifting which requires a flatter, more stable sole.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, surface, and body weight.
Are they water-resistant?
The upper is designed for breathability, so they are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest. Ensure there is enough room for natural movement in the forefoot.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally expand during exercise; ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and consider loosening the laces during the run.
Outer sole appears to wear prematurely
Check your gait cycle; high-friction runners may notice faster wear. Ensure you are running on smooth surfaces and avoid running on gravel or coarse debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Novablast 6 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in period: Wear them for a few shorter runs (3-5km) to allow the foam and upper materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Sizing: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box, especially important for longer runs where feet tend to swell.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If mud accumulates, use a damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge the shoes or machine wash them.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the cushioning adhesive and foam integrity.
- Rotation: Allow the midsole foam to recover by alternating with another pair of trainers if you run daily.
