Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
The Novablast 5 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While the AHAR+ outsole provides durability, traction on very wet, smooth surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal grip.
Laces keep coming undone.
Try using a different lacing technique, such as a double knot, or consider replacing the laces with a pair that has better grip.
Upper material seems to be stretching out quickly.
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly to provide adequate midfoot support. If the issue persists and feels excessive, check the warranty with the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS Novablast 5 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied securely but comfortably to achieve the best fit. It is recommended to wear them with athletic socks for maximum comfort and to prevent blisters.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for running on paved surfaces like roads and well-maintained trails. They are compatible with most standard running socks and insoles. They are suitable for adult male runners of various experience levels.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Novablast 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can warp or degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate between multiple pairs of running shoes to allow them to fully dry out and recover between uses. This extends the lifespan of each pair.
