FAQs

What type of running is the ASICS Superblast best suited for?

The ASICS Superblast is ideal for speed-focused training, tempo runs, interval sessions, and long-distance road racing due to its combination of cushioning and energy return.

How does the FF BLAST TURBO foam differ from other ASICS foams?

FF BLAST TURBO foam is ASICS's premium foam, offering significantly higher energy return and a lighter feel compared to standard foams, designed for maximum performance.

Is the propulsive plate noticeable during the run?

The plate is designed to work seamlessly with the foam and your natural stride. Most users experience it as a smooth, forward-propelling sensation rather than a rigid or intrusive element.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

While comfortable, the Superblast is optimized for running performance. For everyday walking, you might consider shoes with different cushioning profiles, though they can certainly be used if comfort is prioritized.

How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of the Trusstic System in this shoe?

The Trusstic System provides midfoot structural integrity, enhancing stability and helping to control pronation during the gait cycle, especially crucial for longer runs or faster paces.

How durable is the AHARPLUS outsole?

AHARPLUS rubber is a high-abrasion rubber compound developed by ASICS, known for its durability and ability to withstand significant wear, extending the lifespan of the outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with high-performance foams. Wear the shoes for short, easy runs or walks to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the AHARPLUS outsole offers durability, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may vary. Exercise caution during wet conditions.

Mesh upper feels too loose or too tight

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. For a tighter fit, use a runner's loop or tuck the laces. For a looser fit, avoid overtightening and ensure the correct shoe size was selected.
