Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Novablast 6 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize energy return and a bouncy ride during their training sessions. It excels at providing soft landings and improved traction, making it an excellent choice for daily mileage; however, runners seeking a firm, ground-feel sensation may find the high-stack foam cushioning too plush for fast, technical speed work.

FAQs
Are the Novablast 6 shoes suitable for racing?
While highly responsive, they are primarily designed as daily trainers. Serious racers might prefer more specialized performance models, though they are excellent for long-distance training.
How does the sizing compare to other ASICS models?
The Novablast 6 generally fits true to size. If you have worn ASICS previously, you should stick to your standard size.
Can I put the trainers in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the materials and the adhesive. Clean them by hand with warm water and a mild detergent.
Is this shoe good for flat feet?
The Novablast 6 is a neutral trainer. Those needing significant stability or arch support may find it less structured than the ASICS Gel-Kayano line.
What is the primary benefit of the FF TURBO SQUARED technology?
It provides a 'trampoline effect' at the forefoot, which helps propel you forward more efficiently during push-off.
Troubleshooting
Tongue sliding to the side during runs
Ensure the wing-shaped tongue is pulled fully into position and that laces are snug but not tight at the midfoot eyelets.
Feeling of slipping on wet surfaces
Check the forefoot tread for trapped gravel or mud; wipe the ASICSGRIP rubber with a clean, damp cloth.
Foam feeling flat or less bouncy
The shoe may need a recovery period of 24-48 hours between uses to allow the foam to decompress fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Novablast 6, proper care is essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot without being restrictive; use the wing-shaped tongue to center the fit before lacing up. If the shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air dry naturally, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators that can degrade the foam integrity. To maintain the grip, periodically wipe the ASICSGRIP outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris and dirt buildup. For best results, rotate these trainers with another pair of shoes to allow the foam compression set to recover fully between training sessions.
