Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Novablast 5 is designed for runners seeking a highly responsive, energetic experience that makes long training sessions feel less fatiguing. By utilizing advanced midsole technology to provide superior energy return, these trainers are ideal for athletes looking to improve their pace; however, those who prefer a low-profile or 'barefoot' sensation may find the high-stack foam platform provides a different ground-feel than they are accustomed to.

FAQs

Is the Novablast 5 suitable for trail running?

The standard Novablast 5 is engineered for road running. If you require off-road capability, look for the 'Novablast 5 TR' version which features a specialized outsole.

How does the Novablast 5 differ from previous versions?

The version 5 includes a more advanced 'FF Blast Max' foam and refined outsole geometry, resulting in a lighter build and more efficient energy return compared to its predecessors.

What kind of arch support does this shoe provide?

The Novablast 5 is a neutral running shoe designed to provide cushioning and responsiveness rather than aggressive medial post or stability control.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is recommended to hand clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and adhesives.

Does this shoe run true to size?

ASICS trainers generally follow standard sizing conventions. Ensure you use the provided size guide to match your UK size preferences.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slippery on smooth, wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole tread is clean of mud or debris; while the shoe is built for roads, wet surfaces always require extra caution.

Midsole foam feels less bouncy over time

Allow the shoes a 24-hour 'rest' period between runs to allow the foam cells to recover their original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for a bouncy, responsive ride
  • Lightweight feel that encourages faster paces
  • Soft, cushioned underfoot experience
  • Proven design developed by sports science experts

Cons

  • High-stack height may feel less stable on extremely uneven terrain
  • Provides a different sensation than minimal or racing flats
  • Not intended for trail use unless using the specific TR variant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Novablast 5 trainers, proper care is essential. Always untie the laces when putting on or taking off the shoes to prevent damage to the heel counter. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning foam. To clean, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Check the outsole periodically for debris stuck in the tread pattern to maintain maximum grip and performance.
