FAQs

Is the Novablast 6 a stability shoe?

No, the Novablast 6 is classified as a neutral trainer, meaning it lacks specialized posts or features designed to correct overpronation.

What is the weight of these trainers?

The Novablast 6 weighs approximately 253 g.

Can I use these for marathon racing?

While the shoe is excellent for daily training and long-distance runs, it is primarily categorized as a trainer rather than a dedicated carbon-plated racer.

What is the drop on the Novablast 6?

The shoe features an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop.

How should I store them to keep the foam fresh?

Keep them in a temperature-controlled environment and avoid keeping them in a hot car trunk, which can permanently alter the cushioning properties.

Are these suitable for wet roads?

The updated outsole provides improved traction, but always exercise caution on wet, slick surfaces as rubber compounds can vary in grip depending on specific road conditions.

Troubleshooting

Sensation of instability on corners

Ensure your laces are secured using the heel-lock eyelet to improve lockdown, as the higher stack height requires a snug fit to keep the foot centered.

Foam feeling firm in cold weather

This is a natural characteristic of EVA-based foams. Warm up the shoes by walking indoors for a few minutes before starting your run to allow the materials to reach optimal elasticity.

Debris getting stuck in the outsole pattern

Regularly inspect the tread after runs and use a dull tool or brush to remove stones or debris trapped in the outsole channels to maintain maximum traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return from high-end foam technology
  • Lightweight build perfect for high-volume daily training
  • Generous cushioning protects joints during long runs
  • Improved traction design provides confidence on road surfaces

Cons

  • High stack height may be unstable for those used to minimalist shoes
  • Not intended for trail use; strictly optimized for road surfaces
  • Neutral support design may not be suitable for runners requiring heavy stability correction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Novablast 6, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Breaking In: These shoes generally require minimal break-in, but take a few short walks before committing to a long-distance run.
  • Surface Use: These are designed exclusively for road use; avoid running on sharp gravel or technical trails to prevent outsole wear and potential foam damage.
  • Cleaning: Clean the outsole by rinsing with water after runs in muddy conditions. For the upper, use a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt; never put them in a washing machine or dryer as high heat can degrade the foam's integrity.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays and extreme heat can cause the midsole foam to harden over time.
