FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard ASICS sizing conventions. If you have a wider foot, you may want to consider a half-size up.
Can I use these for speed work?
While these are excellent for long-distance training, the responsive Turbo Plus foam allows them to perform well for tempo runs and faster intervals.
Are these suitable for flat feet?
The Superblast 2 is a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support, you may wish to swap the factory insole for a custom orthotic.
How do I wash them?
Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. Clean them by hand with cold water and mild detergent.
What is the primary difference between Superblast 2 and previous models?
The Superblast 2 features refined geometry and an updated foam formulation for improved energy return and durability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven surfaces
The high stack height is designed for roads. Stick to paved surfaces and avoid technical or rocky trails.
Upper mesh collecting debris
Use a soft brush after every run to prevent grit from working into the fibers of the mesh.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to secure the ankle collar against the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Superblast 2 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure a thumb's width of space at the toe box for comfort during foot swelling on long runs.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and dust. Wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the foam's integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration and premature hardening of the midsole foam.
- Replacement: Consider replacing these shoes after 300 to 500 miles of use, as the protective foam cushioning will naturally compress over time.
