Men's | ASICS Novablast 5: All Reviews

These shoes are very comfortable. I walk daily and these shoes keep my feet feeling good. They are light weight and fit nicely.

This i my second pair. I love the bounce

Size and fit were very good. I have a narrow foot. I appreciate the light weight and cushioning. Only had one 5 mile run. Felt great.

Nice and Comfortable!

Good daily trainer, comfy, cushioned, responsive enough. Not very willing to pick Up the pace. Felt clunky at anything much faster than easy pace, def was apparent that isn’t what this shoe is for. Not a huge ding against it as it serves its niche well, but does lack the versatility of something like a Neo Zen or Evo SL Comfy solid daily shoe. Hoping they last for a while for many easy miles to come

Very comfortable when fitted correctly, which Fleetfeet took their time. Great customer service..

This is my second pair of the Novablast 5’s. They are light and very comfortable. They are very well cushioned and they have a great springy feel to them. They are even better now that they are on sale.

I cannot give them 5 stars as I've only had them for 2 weeks and run about 30 miles total. They are very light and supportive. I've heard they don't last longer than 100-200 miles, so we will see. If they actually last 300+ miles, they will be a true 5-star

I had read so much about the Novablast 5, and its comparable shoes, and was not disappointed testing them in the Fleet Feet store. Stability was great, as well as comfort, light weight, and responsiveness. Shoes felt great on my first run, which was supposed to be easy but turned into a speedy run.

They are light and responsive. Flexible enough to give me a push.

Great everyday trainer with the right amount of cushioning without huge stack height. Good stability and responsiveness plus they look great!

So far so good with the runs. Only got about 10 miles in them so still in the break in period.

I love them!

True to fit, and very comfortable. Nice and stable for any type of run.

Been a ASICS Nimbus guy for a long time and swapped it up to Novablast. Really like the shoe. Seems responsive and snappy.

These shoes are made well and very comfortable. The shipping was fast. Very happy with this purchase.

The Novablast are my new favorite. Don't get me wrong Cumulus and Nimbus are awesome, too, but I find the Novablast more comfortable, to me at least. Judge for yourself. I've got three pair. Give them a try. Great selection of colors.

This is probably my 6th pair of Nova Blasts. Great trainer with a soft ride that stays relatively snappy for 300 + miles. Very stable neutral shoe with a comfortable upper and decent room in the toe box. It works, I will continue to buy them.

Can't really say how Asics does it but I've moved on from Hoka Clifton 9 and NB 880. Those both are dead in comparison but the Asics keeps the plushness and adds spring...

I use these for my training for marathons and buy a fresh pair a couple weeks before race day. They're very cushy and probably on the heavier side, but they really help me with prevention toe/foot cramps.

Love this shoe, I bought another, fits nice, wide toebox, very comfortable, nice ride Highly recommend

They just feel great on my feet. Super light and propel me forward

I love these shoes! What a great blend of a pretty plush ride but also a little snappy. A perfect running shoe for everything that isn't pure speed work or low slow distance, although you could easily use them for both. This is my new go-to shoe.

There was a wait for the service because the place was very busy on a Sunday afternoon. But the shoe fitting session was very professional and detail-oriented. The weight of the ASICS Novoblast 5 shoes is very light with good padding. Almost feels like running on the cloud.

I love the asics novablast 5 very good cushion but not to much cushioning they have bouncy cushioning not sinking cushioning

On my third pair of NB 5s and really enjoy the comfort and fit for the long run. Did you know they make a trail version? Ran my most recent trail 50k in those and could still feel the cushion helping my feet at the end! FF ships quickly and provides rewards that actually help afford some of these pricey shoes.

Been running Asics for years, but mostly for comfort. Kayano and Nimbus have been my go to daily shoes with a few Gliderides thrown in for long runs and Magic Speeds for up tempo. The #5 is my first Novablast. Only have about 10 miles on them, but so far they seem to be a great combination of all the shoes mentioned above. They are very comfortable with good lockdown and what seems to be a very durable outsole. In comparison to all of my other US size 11 Asics shoes, they feel a bit large but mostly in the toe space which is fine. A great value at $150.

Really enjoying the spring in these. I walk 6+ miles a day at work and my feet feel great at the end of the day. Was forewarned they may lose the bounce quickly cause I'm heavy but they're still going strong and I love them. I prefer my superblast for faster runs and my adrenalines for the gym.

a bit softer than version 4

I’m afraid to buy anything else! I’ve been running in the Novablast shoe for 3 years now and this sneaker looks great and feels great ????

The heel of the left shoe “popped” when walking on a hard surface. This was with or without inserts. I returned the first pair to the store and ordered a second pair online because the clerk assured me ASICS didn’t have the issue I complained about, it must have been a bad shoe. They were comfortable except for the “popping” feed back. Now the proud order of some very comfortable Brooks.

fit and cushion

Amazing Staff very helpful, couldn’t recommend enough !
