FAQs
Is the ASICS Superblast 2 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, its combination of high-energy return and protective cushioning makes it an excellent candidate for marathon training and race day.
Does this shoe feature a carbon plate?
The Superblast 2 focuses on high-performance foam geometry for responsiveness rather than a rigid carbon plate.
How does the sizing run?
The shoes generally run true to size, but we recommend checking your specific UK size measurements to ensure an optimal fit.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the foam; hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
What is the primary difference from the original Superblast?
The Superblast 2 features refined foam density and a more durable outsole texture for improved longevity and ride quality.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Try using the runner's loop (heel lock) lacing method with the top eyelet to secure the fit around the ankle.
Midsole foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
This is normal for foam compounds; run for a few minutes to allow the natural heat from your feet to soften the cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Superblast 2 remains in peak condition, always loosen the laces before slipping the shoe on or off to preserve the heel counter structure. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the mesh upper; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners. To maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole material over time.
