FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Novablast 6 is a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support or stability for overpronation, consult with a podiatrist before use.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these are designed specifically for road surfaces. The outsole is not designed for the mud, rocks, or uneven terrain found on trails.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The ASICS Novablast 6 features an 8 mm drop.
How should I clean the breathable mesh?
Gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soap. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
Is this shoe heavy?
The shoe is designed with a lightweight construction, weighing approximately 253 grams.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle collar firmly.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after many miles
Ensure the shoes have 24-48 hours of rest between runs to allow the foam to regain its full shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Novablast 6 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While ready out of the box, perform a few short 3-5 km runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the midsole foam to warp or harden.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate these with another pair of running shoes to allow the foam to decompress between sessions.
