Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast

These shoes are great quality and certainly fast and light. My problem, though, was that the heel felt super unstable for the first 30+ miles. I'm used to taking time to break my shoes in, but it felt excessive that my heel was SO unstable for such a long time. I

Ran small. Wish I would've ordered a whole size bigger and not gone with the websites half size bigger recommendation.

These shoes seem to pronate your foot- heal cup is not as deep as the pair I tried on in store?

Pretty narrow. Not for people with wider feet. Feel like your ankle is going to give our due to the height these give. Comfy but just not what I was expecting. Not as great of quality I was expecting for $130.

Initially wonderful. Comfortable and felt very spring-y (although, my heel did want to come out a bit). One month in (and maybe only ~25-30 miles later), and they don't feel as good. No longer wonderful & spring-y. I'm not really very heavy either, about 110-115lbs. Have previously worn the GT-2000/etc line for years.

I do like running in this shoe. The only complaint I have is the horrible blister the shoe leave on my left hill. I have to wear a large bandaid until the shoe is broke on.

Shipping was quick, shoes are beautiful, but unfortunately not comfortable for me. The upper rubs on my foot and no matter how I tie them they just dig in. It's only an issue for the left shoe oddly. Really wanted to love them because they are the best looking sneakers I own.

I really really loved these at first. Loved the look and the way they felt to run in...however, my heels started bothering me after a week of running in them. I've stopped using them and my heels feel better so it must have been something about the shoe my heels didn't like.

It's a great looking shoe, and it feels great when you step in. But, for me, the tongue slips around and rubs the top of my foot and has little to no arch support.

I wear these shoes for high impact cardio workouts. They feel great on! Lots of cushion but they do not provide enough support around the ankles. If I move to the side, I feel like I am going roll my foot or my foot kind of turns. They don't feel safe enough to wear for cardio. Looks like I have an expensive pair of street shoes. Bummer.

Very comfortable sneaker, but it tends to open up on the inside part of the shoe, it happens in both sneakers and that creates and unbalanced bottom making my foot slightly slide toward the inner part of my shoe.

Finally some better color options. Super cushy bottoms and so great ALMOST everywhere. These dig into my big toe joint like other reviewers have said. If you feel inside, it's very scratchy and poorly made. Fix the uppers and add a wide option and I will order 20 pairs.

Good but not as great as my ASIC Gel's from 2 years ago. Loved that pair. This was the recommended replacement. Not a win for me. This shoe has "harder" exterior (top). My feet get tired wearing them all day and I'm not even on my feet.

I've run in these 3 times for a total of 15 miles. I love the support and cushion, but not so much the overall fit. The first thing I noticed was the toes box was too snug so I changed the lacing and that seemed to help, however there's nothing I can do about the extra-roomy heel cap! I've tried a lace-lock, a thicker sock, and even put KT tape on my heels, but they're still floppy. I also have the GlideRides and love how they fit so I was hoping these would fit the same. No such luck. And unfortunately, Asics won't take a return unless the tag's still on and the shoes look new! Not real sure how you're suppose to test drive a shoe with the tags on! Any suggestions would be welcome on how to fix that heel, but unless I figure something out, I guess they'll just be garden shoes.

I ordered the white/aqua angel and they're very cute! They're also light and cushion-y. But they're not actually very comfortable. On first putting them on they don't feel completely stable, and the cushion seems to end abruptly after the midfoot. Even so, I really wanted to like them so I kept them. Now I've put about 50 miles on them, and I think they'd be fine as part of a rotation. But if I wear them for too many days in a row, they make my feet/legs go numb and tingly. The first time it happened I was pretty confused. But I've noticed if I do more than 10 to 15 miles on them in a week I start to get a little discomfort where the heel meets the arch, and then the numbness and tingling sets in. It's not like normal achy feet after a long run. I don't usually rotate my shoes, and I haven't increased my mileage, and this has never happened before. That said, if you do rotate your sneakers, this is a cute bouncy pair for about once a week.

I usually love my ASICS and have many pairs, but this model is not very comfortable at least for my foot. The bridge is tight and causes numbness in my feet.

Good looking shoe. Brand new shoesHurt my feet TERRIBLY one time after walking my daily 5-7mile hike. I could barely finish my walk. Haven't worn these since.

I loved my other Novablast. This par seems different. It is the same size and model as my previous pair but it fits differently and seems more narrow. It isn't as comfortable and I am disappointed

I would love to give a 5 star but it's been almost a month a I have not recently ver my order.

Shoes were way to tight, had to return. Wish they came in wide. Loved the color
