FAQs
What is the drop of the ASICS Sonicblast 2?
The Sonicblast 2 features an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop.
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Sonicblast 2 is a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support for over-pronation, you may need to use a custom orthotic insole.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
While designed for tempo and daily training, their lightweight construction and responsive foam make them capable performers for race day.
How heavy is the shoe?
The Sonicblast 2 weighs 242 grams, making it a very lightweight option for its level of cushioning.
Does the shoe have a propulsion plate?
Yes, it incorporates a Pebax ASTROPLATE to assist with energy return and forward propulsion.
How should I clean the white colourway?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with gentle detergent for stubborn spots. Avoid the washing machine.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
The Sonicblast 2 features a high stack height; ensure you are utilizing the shoe primarily on flat, linear paths rather than technical, winding trails.
Midsole foam feels less responsive
Ensure you are giving the shoes at least 24 hours of rest between runs to allow the FF BLAST MAX and TURBO foams to rebound fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility
These are neutral trainers, meaning they are designed for runners who do not exhibit significant over-pronation. They are available in various adult male sizes to accommodate a wide range of foot lengths.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water to protect the foam technology.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole foam.
- Rotation: To extend the lifespan of the cushioning, rotate your training shoes with another pair to allow the foam to decompress between runs.
