Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast 2

Love this shoe! Nice lightweight. Plenty of cushion, but still springy and responsive with each stride.

This is my 3rd pair of Novablast 2's, so yea I love them! They are versatile and can be used for everything from tempo to long runs. I put about 400-500 miles on my first two pairs and have about 150 on the newest pair. The shoe held up great cosmetically but I could tell it was time to replace once they lost their bounce and I started to get minor aches in my Achilles, which went away as soon as I got a new pair. I used the Novablasts for training and raced in the Metaspeed sky for my 1/2 and full marathons and almost hit PR's that I set 10+ years ago. My high school runner loves them too and is on her 2nd pair. All the color options are helpful to tell the different pairs apart.

I have struggled since my teenage years when I first started running 25 years ago to find a shoe that didn't cause ankle pain during or after my runs. I've found very few pairs (only about 5) over the years that actually worked for me and I ran those into the ground literally. But companies eventually change the model of the shoe and I end up no longer being able to use them. It's been about 6 years since I last had a pair that didn't cause me pain either during or after my runs, until this pair! And believe me, I've tried dozens of shoes over those years. I am in disbelief over how well this shoe works for me. They absorb so much shock and apparently accommodate my (apparently) mechanically inept natural gate with super high arches really well. I've already bought 2 pairs and am contemplating buying 2 more. At first I was hesitant to try them because of the really tall foam rubber sole, but I fell in love with them during my first run. My husband who knows my struggle with finding running shoes is actually encouraging me to stock up on this shoe. Thank you Novablast 2 for giving me running back!

I went through an entire marathon training cycle with my first pair of Novablast 2's and there is still tread left to spare on them. They provide tons of support and cushion for every step; no issues with foot discomfort or fatigue. They aren't heavy, but I wouldn't say that they're light either when compared against other shoes these days; I have a different shoe for races so that may be something to consider with these if you're looking for an all-in-one solution. These are easily my favorite trainers for long distance running though; I bought this pair and a similar orange pair so I could stay stocked up for when my first pair finally does need replacing. And how can you turn down these fun colors?! Can't recommend the Novablast 2 enough!

NOVABLAST 2 remind me of the old Gel Nimbus I was soooo mad when they changed those-as were a lot of others. But the NOVABLAST are every bit as comfortable as the old Gel Nimbus.

I LOVE this shoe! It reminds me of the fit and feel run shoes used to have. Super cush, some stability and just feel good on your feet. Please keep this one in the line up!

Great support for my 12 shifts on my feet! My feet don't hurt at all and my legs don't feel fatigued at the end of a shift.

My most comfortable work shoes to date!!! With standing and walking it does the job perfectly

I am a nurse with 12 hour shifts these shows have helped decrease my hip pain and low back pain. I am a typical 7 and did size up to a 7.5 for reference.

Most comfortable walking shoes I've had yet! Granted my last pair was from 10 years ago haha. But super comfortable and my knees don't hurt when I get back from my walk anymore(:

I have really loved my Novablast 2s and am on my second pair. They've been a great all around shoe for speed and distance, and they're very comfortable.

These are the only shoes that give my heels enough cushion and really help to correct my heel strike. I work in healthcare and this is the first pair of shoes that my feet don't swell in.

These Asics provide maximum support for my 12 hour shifts. They're extremely comfortable, my legs and back are immensely grateful for these.

The color is a soft green color and Novablast makes you feel like you are walking on air.

Extremely comfortable! I walk at lot and stand at work (medical field) I've worn these for two weeks straight and so far, they're amazing! My feet do not hurt. I think they're true to size

Extreme comfortable and true to size . Highly recommended

I am a nurse. On my feet 12-14 hours a day. Very happy with this purchase.

I literally wore my last pair until there were holes in the sole. My go to!

Bought these to change up from my years of Hoka use. I have to say, I really like it. It is very squishy with a good bounce. I do feel they are a little squirrely because they are so squishy when you step down but it's been a fun change up. I use these for my long and recovery runs. I think I need more stability if I did speed work. Though you can push the pace with these. Overall great long run/recovery run shoes. And LOVE the colors!! I'll be back to buy another pair.
