FAQs
What type of runner is the Asics SUPERBLAST 2 designed for?
It is designed for neutral runners or those with slight underpronation who seek maximum cushioning, high energy return, and a lightweight feel for road running, suitable for both long distances and faster paces.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of the SUPERBLAST 2?
The Asics SUPERBLAST 2 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
How much does one shoe weigh?
One shoe weighs approximately 8.8 ounces (249 grams).
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While durable, the SUPERBLAST 2 is specifically optimized for road running. Its outsole and cushioning system are designed for paved surfaces, and it may not provide optimal grip or stability on technical trails.
What is FF BLAST™ TURBO PLUS foam?
FF BLAST™ TURBO PLUS is an advanced cushioning technology used in the SUPERBLAST 2, designed to provide ultra-high cushioning, exceptional responsiveness, and a lightweight feel, contributing to superior energy return.
Are there any reflective elements on the shoe?
Yes, the Asics SUPERBLAST 2 includes reflective details to enhance visibility during runs in low-light conditions.
How do I determine my correct size?
The SUPERBLAST 2 typically runs true to size. It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to the ASICS size chart. Ensure a comfortable fit with a thumb's width space at the front.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The woven upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice plays a crucial role. If the issue persists, consider trying different lacing techniques to improve airflow.
The shoe feels too soft, and I'm looking for more ground feel.
The SUPERBLAST 2 features maximum cushioning for comfort and energy return. If you prefer a more minimalist feel, this shoe might not be the best fit for that specific preference. This characteristic is inherent to its design focus.
My shoes are squeaking when I run.
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's footbed, especially when new or after getting wet. Try removing the insole, cleaning both the insole and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting it. A thin layer of baby powder or anti-squeak spray between the insole and footbed can also help.

Setup
The Asics SUPERBLAST 2 typically fits true to size. When trying them on, ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Lace them snugly but not too tightly, ensuring your heel feels secure without sliding. Allow for a few runs to break them in, although the high-quality cushioning usually provides comfort from the first wear.
Compatibility
- Foot Type: Best suited for runners with a neutral gait or slight underpronation.
- Running Surface: Optimized for road running. Avoid technical trails or uneven terrain which may not provide optimal stability or grip for this shoe's design.
- Activity: Ideal for daily training, long-distance runs, and speed work.
Care
To prolong the life and performance of your ASICS SUPERBLAST 2:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and mud with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes to allow the cushioning to fully recover between runs, extending the lifespan of both pairs.
