FAQs
What type of running is the ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 best suited for?
The ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 is ideal for all types of road running, including daily training, long runs, tempo efforts, and even race day, thanks to its blend of maximum cushioning and responsive energy return. It performs best on asphalt and pavement.
What is the difference between FF Blast Turbo and FF Blast Plus Eco?
FF Blast Turbo is a premium foam providing exceptional bounce and resiliency for a lively ride. FF Blast Plus Eco is another energetic foam that incorporates sustainable biomass, contributing to an energetic feel with a focus on environmental responsibility.
What is the weight and heel-to-toe drop of the ASICS SUPERBLAST 2?
The shoe weighs approximately `249g` (for a UK 9) and features an `8mm` heel-to-toe drop, providing a balanced and comfortable platform for various running styles.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While versatile, the ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 is specifically designed for road surfaces (asphalt and pavement). Its ASICSGRIP outsole and cushioning are optimized for these environments and may not provide adequate grip or protection on technical trails or uneven off-road terrain.
How should I clean and care for my ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 shoes?
To clean, remove the insoles and hand wash the shoes with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place.
Does the SUPERBLAST 2 offer a secure fit?
Yes, the engineered woven upper provides optimal comfort and a secure fit, while the tongue wing construction helps prevent the tongue from slipping, enhancing overall foot lockdown during your run.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too hot or sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. The engineered woven upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice can significantly impact foot climate. You may also need to slightly loosen your lacing for better air circulation.
The lacing feels loose, or my heel slips.
Re-lace your shoes ensuring a firm but comfortable tension. Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as using a 'runner's knot' with the top eyelets, to create a more secure lockdown, especially around the ankle. The tongue wing construction should help keep the tongue in place for stability.
I'm not feeling the expected 'bounce' or responsiveness.
Ensure the shoes are adequately broken in. While highly cushioned, the foams require a few runs to fully adapt to your stride. Also, consider the age and mileage of your shoes; cushioning materials can compress over time. If the shoes are new, give them a few more runs.
My ASICSGRIP outsole seems to be wearing quickly or not gripping well.
The ASICSGRIP outsole is optimized for road surfaces. If you frequently run on abrasive surfaces like gravel or rough concrete, wear may increase. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If wear is excessive for typical use, contact customer support as this may indicate a material issue.
I experience discomfort on surfaces other than asphalt/pavement.
The ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 is specifically engineered for road surfaces. Its outsole pattern and midsole flexibility are not optimized for uneven trails or technical terrain. For off-road running, consider shoes designed for trail use with more aggressive lugs and stability features.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced snugly but not too tightly. Utilize all eyelets for a secure fit that minimizes heel slippage. The tongue wing construction is designed to keep the tongue in place, enhancing overall security.
- First Run: Start with a shorter, easy run to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's cushioning and feel. Pay attention to how the `FF Blast Turbo` and `FF Blast Plus Eco` foams respond to your stride.
Compatibility
- Running Surface: The ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 is optimized for road running (asphalt, pavement) due to its specialized outsole and cushioning profile.
- Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning, though its stable platform can accommodate a wide range of foot types.
- Activities: Suitable for daily training, long runs, tempo efforts, and competitive racing on hard surfaces.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean, remove the insoles and hand wash the shoes using a mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub any soiled areas with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in a hot car, as extreme temperatures can degrade cushioning materials.
- Insole Care: Periodically remove and air out insoles to prevent odors. They can also be hand washed separately if needed.
