Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast

Quality is as expected! Comfortable and true to size. I bought them for a gift for husband and he was very satisfied. Exactly as advertised

Comfortable and makes running less of a chore and more enjoyable

These are my new favorite shoes. I usually wear the Cumulus and decided to try the Novablast. They are light and cushioned well. I have already gotten a second pair. Only around 50 miles on them so far. Hopefully they are as durable as the Cumulus. Very happy so far

Extremely comfortable, true to size and lives up to all the billing

Feel great.... Very happy with these shoes. I recommend

I LOVE this shoe! Very comfortable and gives me extra cushion since I'm a 6'5", 250 pound guy. This is the best ASICS shoe I've ever bought and I will buy more. ASICS, please come out with more colors of this shoe! I bought the grey one, but more colors would be great! Great job!

Cozy, soft and light. These shoes are grest for running or walking the fog.

Longtime Gel Kayano runner. The recent series (25 & 26) had a toe box that was too big for me. The Novablast fits great, and has fantastic cushioning as well. I'm a convert!

I have been a loyal Gel Nimbus runner since 2000, this is my first time trying another running shoe and I love the plush, springy ride. As other reviewers have noted, the laces need to go, I replaced them with round laces after my 3rd run and the shoe is fantastic. Great job Asics Team!

I bought these as soon as they came out. I am running 30 to 40 miles a week and usually run in hokas while training for 50k. Multiple hokas have been causing blisters so I decided to try something new. Out of the box novablast shoes felt broke in. Asics are a force to be reconed with this shoe. I have over 200 miles on this shoe with no signs of stopping. I will never buy Hokas again! Just ordered another pair of novablast's.

I'm an avid fan of asics in general and really love the gel kinsei but these new novablast are by far up there as one of the best cushioned shoe asics has come out with. And the price point is right on, not too expensive, keep up the awesome work asics.

I bought these shoes when they first came out. I wore them for a half marathon. They are so light and a lot of spring. They are perfect if you are experiencing back pain as a runner. My favorite running shoe that I have ever purchased.

I used to run Gel Kayanos a few years back. I switched fro Hokas a few years back to save my feet from the concrete paths I run on. Those are great shoes but definitely not "fun" to run in. This shoe is insane, it has all the protection of a Hoka or other maximalist shoe, but an amazing snap and energy. It's a joy to run in. I'm neutral with a fairly wide foot, although not quite to EE width. Those fit perfect. Roomy toebix, snug upper, and a satisfying bounce that was responsive but soft without "sinking in" too much. The over soft maximalists can lead to achy hips for me. This shoe is perfect, 10/10 Asics, great innovation! I'm ordering another pair.

Also train in the Nimbus Lite and so far I'm really impressed with the Novablast. You can certainly feel the bounce as you stride in the heel and forefront. The upper and lacing system just work. There is less padding around the heel and on the tongue but that what makes it feel different than the nimbus when you switch between the two. The ride is super fun. It makes me can't wait until the next day when I can lace them up again. Well done ASICS developers! Will purchase more pairs!

Awesome daily and recovery trainer on the high cushion side. Was looking for something for my long easy runs and this definitely does the job.

Solid trainer. I haven't put many miles on these, but I did notice the bounce they are known for, very nice! It was still a bit chilly during the times I ran and I also noticed these have great ventilation.

Very light. Very bouncy. Great support. Nice fit. Less sore after runs.

So far pretty great shoes no complaints besides orange on the sides gets rubbed off pretty quick also probably the best pair of shoes I have ever owned splurge a little bit on your self and get a nice pair of NovaBlastS I severely doubt you will regret it

I'm very happy with my purchase of the Novablast. The shoes fit true to size, staying comfortable throughout the miles. I would definitely purchase them again.

Very comfortable shoe. The only issue I have is that the tongue is very thin.If it was a more cushioned tongue it would be 5 stars

This shoe has helped me shave 9 seconds off my 400m time.

Good running shoe to do what ever active thing you need to do. Initially I was very surprised that the ASICS size algorithm had me go a size up. But the suggestion was right on the money and a good fit. Comment: The back heel design rides significantly higher up the foot than I am used too. For other runners with shorter profile shoes in the past, this design may cause temporary chaffing. An easy solution is to wear higher socks or put a buffer in-between you and the shoe backing (like a bandage).
