Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast

The comfort is amazing but where the tongue was sewn some heavy threads cause some irritation.

When I bought this shoe I though about the advertising and how the shoe bouncy and like trampoline but till now and after 50 miles running on them . There is no energy return at all .soft and muchy but not bouncy

I walk only. Thought the extra cushioning would be good, but the extra cushioning causes less stability and my ankles flex too much. But I imagine they would be good for running where impact is more important.

Too small. I always get the same shoe size and this one is so small my toes hurt and I can't wear them. Wasted $$

Nice foam, and pretty bouncy, but for for me it is way too unstable, if you somehow tends to overpronate even a bit, I think this shoes is not for you.

Poor quality at the bottom of the tennies. a sole that provides little durability and is super unstable.

The Novablast offers wonderful impact protection that is palpable even after an hour spent at various paces. And because of the supreme lockdown the upper offers I can use the shoes for strides after a long run. Three stars only because of the lamentable absence of support/stability. Asics, version 2 please.

Comfortable but fit me a 1/2 size small. Definitely need to upgrade the laces. VERY thin and not like an athletic lace. Uncomfortable on the top of the foot.

For me, shoes run a bit (1/2 size) small. I normally am a 10 but needed a 10.5 in these. Comfortable to run in. Shoelaces are a big negative. They aren't much wider than a dress shoe shoelace and are not comfortable. Need to improve on this.

The comfort of the shoe is amazing! The forefoot cushioning is what I was looking for! The cushion and softness of the shoe have a great response too it! It is true to size. Now for the- what are they thinking apart!!!??? The tongue of the shoe is not a gusseted tongue- it is not sewn to the upper material. The tongue is cheaply made. The top area and side of the tongue is cut odd with material not finished and sharp edges that irritated my foot. I'm trying to figure something to rework the shoe! This is so odd!!!

These shoes fit way too big. Should say on website to go a minimum of a half size down/ I could even do a full size down that's how big these shoes are. Website does't even offer an exchange, so sadly i just returned them and ended up buying another brand.

This is not a shoe that will give you great stability. Seems to be good if you're looking for cushion instead of support.

The shoe was nice but it didnt felt stable enough to run with it.

The heel is too unstable especially with the 10 mm drop.

It's fine for light walking, but if my activity requires constant lateral moment the shoes feel wobbly, like I would twist my ankles if I exert force sideways. I would not buy them again.

Runs wayyyyy too big. Had to return and get money back.

Sort of comfy but the seams were not sewed very well and gave me some really nasty friction blisters. I've never had running shoes do this.

I kept hearing the shoe was unstable but didn't really know what that meant. It means the platform of the shoe is narrow. It feels like you're walking on a balance beam. I didn't feel like I would fall over but it just doesn't wrap your whole foot. I've heard other shoes described this way but this was my first experience in a shoe like that and it's not for me. The padding was great, serious in the forefoot, by just narrow. To be clear, the shoe isn't narrow, the upper was not tight, the sole of the shoe is narrow.

Worst quality laces I've ever used and I get disgusting blisters on the back of my foot. Other than that, I think they have the potential to become great shoes.
