FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard width is designed for a typical foot. If you have wider feet, it is recommended to try them on or look for specific wide-width models if available.
How long do the FLYTEFOAM BLAST cushions typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage, terrain, and runner's weight, but typically remains effective for 300-500 miles of running.
Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?
While versatile, the Novablast 4 is optimized for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements, shoes with more stability might be preferable.
How should I clean the 'Illuminate Green' colour?
Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution with water to gently clean the mesh. Wipe down with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference between Novablast 4 and previous versions?
The Novablast 4 often features updated cushioning formulations and geometry for improved energy return and a smoother ride compared to earlier models.
Are these trainers good for marathon running?
Yes, the Novablast 4's responsive cushioning and lightweight design make them a strong contender for marathon distances, particularly for runners seeking a propulsive feel.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning responsiveness
Ensure the shoes are broken in properly. The cushioning may feel firmer initially and soften with use. Check for any debris trapped in the sole.
Upper feels tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. The engineered mesh may require a short break-in period.
Slipping during runs
Verify that the laces are tied securely. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. The shoes are designed for road running; consider alternative footwear for very wet or slippery off-road conditions.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Novablast 4 trainers:
