FAQs

Who is the NOOSA TRI™ 16 designed for?

The NOOSA TRI™ 16 is designed for adult male runners seeking a lightweight and comfortable shoe for training and triathlons, particularly those with a neutral gait.

What is the main benefit of the FF BLAST™ PLUS technology?

FF BLAST™ PLUS provides soft and lightweight cushioning, enhancing comfort and responsiveness without adding significant weight to the shoe.

How does the ASICSGRIP™ outsole help?

The ASICSGRIP™ outsole is engineered to provide enhanced traction and control on various running surfaces, improving stability and confidence.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?

While comfortable and responsive, its design is optimized for speed. For very long distances, runners may prefer shoes with maximum cushioning, but it can be suitable for marathon training and racing for many neutral runners.

How do I clean my NOOSA TRI™ 16 shoes?

Clean using a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally and avoid machine washing or heat.

What is the drop on the NOOSA TRI™ 16?

The shoe has a 5mm drop, which promotes a more natural foot strike and efficient running mechanics.

Are there features that make transitions faster for triathlons?

Yes, the shoe includes a heel pull tab and a perforated tongue designed for quick and easy on-and-off during triathlon transitions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. Experiment with different tying methods or consider replacing the laces with elastic lock laces for a more custom fit. Ensure you have the correct size.

Reduced traction or slipping

Check the ASICSGRIP™ outsole for embedded debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If wear is significant, the outsole may need replacement, indicating the shoe's end of life.

Discomfort during runs

Ensure proper sock choice and that the shoes are laced correctly. If discomfort persists, the shoe might not be suitable for your foot type or gait. Consider consulting a running specialist.

Mesh upper appears damaged

Inspect for tears or abrasions. Minor scuffs are cosmetic, but significant damage may compromise the shoe's support and breathability. Minor repairs may be possible, but structural damage often means replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction for enhanced speed
  • Responsive cushioning for a comfortable ride
  • Excellent traction and grip from ASICSGRIP™ outsole
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool
  • Easy on-and-off features suitable for triathletes
  • Good visibility with reflective details

Cons

  • May not provide enough support for severe overpronators

  • The 5mm drop might require an adjustment period for runners accustomed to higher drops
  • Specific focus on speed might mean less plush cushioning compared to dedicated ultra-distance shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly; there should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Lace them up snugly but not tightly, allowing for natural foot expansion during runs.

Compatibility:

The NOOSA TRI™ 16 is a neutral running shoe, best suited for runners with a neutral gait or those who use custom orthotics. It is compatible with most standard running socks. The shoe is designed for road running but can handle light, well-maintained trails.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the shoes after runs using a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cool water, wiping clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
