FAQs
What type of runner is the NOVABLAST 5 best suited for?
The NOVABLAST 5 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and a responsive ride, suitable for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts.
How do I clean my ASICS NOVABLAST 5 Trainers?
Clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts or other sports?
While they offer good stability, the NOVABLAST 5 is optimized for running. For gym workouts or sports requiring lateral stability, dedicated training shoes might be more appropriate.
How does the cushioning compare to previous NOVABLAST models?
The NOVABLAST 5 features advanced midsole technology for enhanced cushioning and energy return, offering a superior and more responsive experience compared to earlier versions.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official ASICS website for specific warranty details.
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and responsive feel make the NOVABLAST 5 a good option for marathon runners looking for comfort over long distances.
How should I choose the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can be personal. A snug but not tight fit is generally recommended for running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the shoes for a few short runs to allow the midsole to break in and conform to your foot's natural motion. The materials will soften with use.
Foot feels too warm
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Check that laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good grip, be cautious on very wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole periodically to remove any embedded debris that might affect grip.
Cushioning feels too soft
This is a characteristic of the advanced cushioning. If a firmer feel is preferred, consider shoes with a denser foam or a different model. For this shoe, ensure proper form and leg engagement for a more responsive feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. For initial runs, consider a shorter distance to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning.
Compatibility: The NOVABLAST 5 is designed primarily for road running. The outsole provides good traction on asphalt, concrete, and light trails. It is compatible with most running apparel and accessories.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or tightly packed with other gear to maintain their shape and prevent odors.
