FAQs

What is the main difference between the Superblast 2 and other ASICS models?

The Superblast 2 typically features a maximalist cushioning approach combined with a highly responsive foam, offering a unique blend of soft comfort and energetic ride not found in all ASICS models.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

While ASICS offers some models in wide widths, the standard width of the Superblast 2 is designed for a typical foot. It's recommended to try them on or check for specific width availability if you have wide feet.

How long should the ASICS Superblast 2 last?

With proper care and regular use for running, most runners can expect the ASICS Superblast 2 to last between 300-500 miles, depending on running style, terrain, and weight.

Can I use these for trail running?

The Superblast 2 is primarily designed for road running. While they may handle very light, well-maintained trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protection of dedicated trail running shoes.

What does 'Ekiden' signify in the product name?

'Ekiden' refers to Japanese long-distance relay road races. This designation often implies a shoe designed for endurance and performance over significant distances.

How should I clean the Vital Green/Black upper?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing technique. Experiment with different lacing patterns to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Ensure the shoes are not overused for their intended purpose. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes. Check for any visible damage to the midsole.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

The outsole is designed for optimal grip on dry to moderately wet surfaces. For very wet or icy conditions, consider alternative footwear with specialized traction.

Discomfort after initial wears.

Many running shoes require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase the distance as they conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear running shoes. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they are laced appropriately for your foot.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for running on roads and prepared trails. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes can help extend their lifespan.
