Customer Reviews ASICS Sportstyle Novablast SPS

Hot spots causes blisters to heel and inner lateral side of feet. Otherwise, shoe is great responsive and a lot of fun to run on.

I love these asics and these shoes have certainly come a long way from the ones I used to run in. The spring in the step is amazing, incredible push back and energy to your stride however, the support around the ankles is not there. Unless you lace all the way up to the last eyelet, the shoe lays open at the top. I usually lace up to the eyelet before the last, but with these, using every eyelet is a must.

I returned mine As my toes hurt felt narrow And almost like my big toe would poke thru the top of the shoe if I kept them and the bottom feels really different more firm than cushion but they look great. Once I see my refund $$$ I'm going to order the cumulus or nimbus in a wide

I have run 17 miles in this shoe over the past two weeks. The first few runs required a break in period - I definitely noticed the forefoot trampoline feeling, but it also left my feet buzzing due to the strange impact. Over time, the midsole loosened up a little (or my feet got used to it). The major issue that I've noticed is the midsole instability. It feels like I'm running on a foam cushion, as my feet wobble side to side and struggle to maintain a neutral level. This created excessive overpronation-related pain on my left foot and ankle. Yesterday, I suffered a serious ankle sprain on my left ankle during a recovery run, while turning a corner. It was pathetic, and I truly believe it had to do with the midsole instability. I own several other running shoes and have never felt this. Bottom line - I really wanted to like this shoe. Others have raved about it. It may suit the high-arch runner better. However, for those who have overpronation, flat, and/or wide feet, this might be a little too wobbly for you, as it was for me.

doesnt fit. very dissatisfied. the heel is incredibly uncomfortable
