FAQs
Are the ASICS Superblast suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the ASICS Superblast trainers are well-suited for marathon running due to their combination of responsive cushioning and durability, offering comfort and energy return over long distances.
How do I clean my ASICS Superblast trainers?
Clean them with a soft brush and a mild soap and cold water solution. Use a damp cloth or sponge. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What is the main difference between FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO and FF BLAST™ TURBO cushioning?
FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO provides a softer, more sustainable cushioning experience, while FF BLAST™ TURBO is designed for maximum responsiveness and energy return, offering a bouncier feel.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?
The ASICS Superblast are primarily designed for road running and general training. They are not recommended for technical trails due to their outsole design and upper construction.
What is the warranty period for ASICS trainers?
Warranty details can vary by region and retailer. It is recommended to check the specific warranty information provided by the seller at the time of purchase, typically covering manufacturing defects for a set period.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes pressure points.
Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure. Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique for your foot shape. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe's specific fit profile doesn't suit your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
This can be a sign of natural wear. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (running) and not for excessive casual wear. Proper care and storage can help maintain cushioning longer.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The outsole provides traction on dry to damp surfaces. For very wet conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can affect grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The ASICS Superblast trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size (this guide pertains to UK 8.5). The lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a secure and comfortable fit tailored to your foot shape.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for road running and general athletic training. They are suitable for:
- Asphalt and paved surfaces
- Treadmills
- Light gravel paths
They are not intended for technical trails or extreme off-road conditions.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your ASICS Superblast trainers:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade or warp.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid cramming them into tight spaces where they could lose their shape.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate your Superblast trainers with another pair of shoes. This allows the cushioning to decompress and the materials to dry out fully between uses, extending their lifespan.
