FAQs

What type of runner is the ASICS Novablast 5 best suited for?

The Novablast 5 is ideal for neutral runners looking for a versatile shoe for daily training, tempo runs, and long-distance running. It offers a good balance of cushioning and responsiveness.

How does the Novablast 5 compare to previous versions?

The Novablast 5 typically features updated cushioning technologies and upper designs for enhanced comfort, responsiveness, and potentially improved stability compared to its predecessors.

Can I use these shoes for marathon racing?

Yes, the Novablast 5 can be used for marathon racing, especially if you prioritize a comfortable and responsive ride over the absolute lightest racing flats. It offers ample cushioning for the distance.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, the Novablast 5 is designed for road running. Its outsole may not provide adequate grip or durability for rough trail surfaces.

How do I clean my ASICS Novablast 5 trainers?

Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat.

What is the primary cushioning technology used?

The Novablast 5 utilizes FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning, which provides a soft yet energetic feel and is made with sustainable materials.

Is this shoe suitable for runners with wide feet?

The standard fit may be narrow for some. It's recommended to try them on if possible or look for wide (2E) options if available, although this specific variant is listed as a standard men's fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or a wide-fit version if available.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness

The midsole foam may take a few runs to break in. If the issue continues after 20-30 miles, check for excessive wear on the outsole or contact customer support.

Slipping heel

Ensure the laces are securely tied, utilizing the heel-lock lacing technique if necessary. Check if the shoe size is appropriate; a heel slip can indicate the shoe is too large.

Upper material showing wear

Avoid abrasive activities. If minor fraying occurs, gently trim loose threads. For significant tears, consider discontinuing use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for a propulsive feel
  • Plush cushioning for comfort on long runs
  • Breathable and adaptive upper material
  • Durable construction suitable for daily mileage
  • Improved stability compared to previous models

Cons

  • May feel narrow for wider feet
  • The unique feel might require a short adjustment period

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Novablast 5 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. Lace them up to your preferred tightness, using the secure fit system to lock your foot in place without causing pressure points.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most running socks. For extended durability, avoid using them for activities that involve significant lateral movements or abrasive surfaces, such as trail running or court sports.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
