FAQs
Are the ASICS Superblast 2 suitable for racing?
Yes, while they offer substantial cushioning, the energetic FF BLAST™ TURBO foam provides excellent responsiveness, making them a viable option for long-distance races and faster training sessions.
What is the difference between Superblast and Superblast 2?
The Superblast 2 builds upon the original with refinements to the foam composition and upper design for enhanced comfort and performance, often focusing on improved breathability and a more adaptive fit.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. Trying the shoes on, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen, is the best way to ensure a proper fit. Check if wider options are available if needed.
Can I use these for walking?
While designed for running, the exceptional cushioning and comfort of the Superblast 2 make them suitable for walking as well, offering a plush experience for everyday activities.
How durable is the outsole?
The AHARPLUS™ outsole is specifically engineered for high durability and abrasion resistance, designed to withstand many miles of running on various surfaces.
Are there different widths available?
Yes, ASICS often provides their performance running shoes in multiple widths to cater to a wider range of foot shapes. Please check the product specifications or retailer information for available width options.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is normal due to the advanced cushioning and support. Wear the shoes for shorter runs to allow your feet to adjust. Ensure you have the correct fit and consider moisture-wicking socks.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Check the midsole for any signs of damage or excessive compression. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities outside of running, which can accelerate wear. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The AHARPLUS™ outsole provides good traction, but like all rubber outsoles, performance can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. Consider an alternative shoe for extremely wet conditions if traction is a primary concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The ASICS Superblast 2 trainers require no specific setup. Simply try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the new cushioning and geometry.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for road running and moderate trail use. They are compatible with most running socks. For optimal performance and to prevent irritation, ensure you select the correct size and width for your feet.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap with cold water and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
