Product Information
Full details
The Asics Novablast 6 is a high-cushion road running shoe tailored for neutral runners who prioritize a springy, responsive ride during daily training and tempo sessions. Combining advanced FF Blast MAX foam with an FF Turbo forefoot capsule, this trainer offers excellent energy return in a lightweight package, though runners seeking maximum stability for overpronation may find the neutral support profile less suitable than dedicated stability models.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for overpronation?
The Novablast 6 is designed for neutral runners. If you require significant stability features, you may want to look at dedicated support models.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the Asicsgrip outsole provides good traction, these are designed as road shoes and may lack the protection needed for technical trails.
How do I clean the midsole foam?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the foam. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front for toe splay.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during cornering
Ensure the shoe is tied securely using the eyelets to lock the heel; check if the high stack height is appropriate for the terrain.
Tongue sliding to the side during runs
The semi-gusseted tongue should prevent this, but if it happens, re-thread the laces through the central tongue loop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Novablast 6 trainers, lace them using the hidden lace loops to distribute pressure evenly across the instep. Because these are standard-width neutral trainers, they are highly compatible with aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is required. For maintenance, clean the outsoles after use in muddy conditions using a soft brush. If the upper becomes dirty, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the foam midsole.
