FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Novablast 4 offers excellent cushioning and energy return, making it a solid choice for marathon distances, especially for runners who prefer a more responsive feel.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard. Always air dry the shoes afterwards.
What is the main difference between Novablast 3 and Novablast 4?
The Novablast 4 features updated cushioning for an even more energetic and softer ride, along with a refined upper for improved comfort and fit compared to the Novablast 3.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, the Novablast 4 can be used for light gym activities. However, for dedicated strength training, a more stable shoe might be preferable.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles, depending on running surface, intensity, and individual running form. Regular inspection for wear and tear is advised.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry and light wet conditions but not for heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try lacing the shoes differently or wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. If the shoes have accumulated significant mileage (typically over 300-500 miles), consider replacing them.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole grip is optimized for dry to moderately wet conditions. For extremely slippery surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These running shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable and secure fit. It is recommended to wear them for short runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and support.
Compatibility: The ASICS Novablast 4 trainers are designed for road running and general fitness training. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks and can be used on treadmills.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the outsole and upper. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape over time.
