FAQs
Are the ASICS Novablast 4 shoes good for marathons?
Yes, many runners find the Novablast 4 suitable for long-distance training and marathons due to the sustained comfort provided by the FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand clean them with a damp cloth. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural properties of the foam.
What is the primary difference between the Novablast and the Gel-Kayano series?
The Novablast series focuses on a bouncy, high-energy return ride, whereas the Gel-Kayano series typically offers more stability and structural support.
How long should these trainers last?
Generally, running shoes last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on the runner's weight, terrain, and gait mechanics.
Are these shoes suitable for people with flat feet?
The Novablast 4 provides neutral cushioning. While it is comfortable, those requiring specific orthotic correction should consult with a specialist or pair the shoe with custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper appears to collect dust quickly
Regularly brush the upper with a soft-bristled brush after your runs to prevent debris from settling into the knit.
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing system to use the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place more effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Novablast 4 remains in top condition, start by ensuring a secure fit by adjusting the laces evenly across the midfoot. These trainers are designed for standard athletic use; to clean them, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the specialized knit fibers. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning.
