Product Information
Full details
The Asics NOVABLAST 6 is designed for male runners of all levels who prioritize a highly cushioned, energetic, and responsive ride during their daily training sessions. By combining a lightweight build with advanced foam technology, these trainers provide excellent comfort for long-distance efforts and tempo runs alike. However, runners seeking a strictly minimalist or barefoot feel may find the plush, high-stack cushioning of this shoe to be more substantial than their personal preference.

FAQs
Are the Asics NOVABLAST 6 trainers waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper that is designed to allow airflow, meaning water can enter the shoe during heavy rain.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, their responsive cushioning is well-suited for the high-mileage requirements of marathon training.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use mild soap and a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
Do these trainers have arch support?
They are designed as neutral trainers, providing a balanced ride suitable for most foot types without aggressive orthotic-style arch inserts.
Are there different color options available?
Yes, the NOVABLAST 6 series comes in various colorways, including Blue, Green/Yellow, and Black/Black variations.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the laces are tightened using a runner's loop or lock lacing technique to secure the heel.
Feeling of excess heat during long runs
Ensure you are using lightweight, moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than thick cotton socks.
Stiff transition on initial use
The foam may require a break-in period of 20-30 miles to reach its optimal responsiveness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional energy return for an energetic ride
- Highly breathable upper keeps feet cool
- Lightweight design reduces fatigue on long runs
- Smooth gait transitions due to outsole geometry
Cons
- High stack height may feel unstable for some trail runners
- Not suitable for those preferring ground-feel footwear
- Requires proper sizing due to specific foam compression
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that you are wearing the correct UK size, such as the size 6.5 version. These trainers are optimized for road surfaces; using them on aggressive, rocky terrain may wear the sole material faster than intended.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth after muddy runs to prevent debris from clogging the breathability pores.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Remove the sockliner after runs if it is damp to help the internal moisture evaporate more efficiently.
