Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast 2

Love the shoes. Only downside is I should have listened to the suggested size. They run small, half size up.

I really enjoy running in this shoe it's lightweight and bouncy. However, the sizing for me is not great. 7 felt too big and 6.5 gives me some nasty blisters on my back heel.

The Novablast 2 used to one of my preferred shoes for daily training. It had great cushioning and was quite comfortable. However, it was not verry durable. The upper tended to develop holes over my big toe within the first 100 miles. Although that did not prevent continued use of the shoes, it was unsightly. I also thought it could have used a bit more stability and traction. Fortunately, Asics addressed all of my issues in the Novablast 3 update. I am especially delighted that they changed the material of the upper and I have has zero issues with wear on the new uppers. Bottom line is I would clearly recommend going with the Novablast 3 over the Novablast 2.

I have worn nova blast since they came out and I'm a big fan. For me they are a perfect fit ! However, this particular style I did not like. The material was flimsy and the fit was off , too tight and tan smaller than normal. Returned for a refund

As they were the Novablast 2, I was expecting them to provide more comfort than the orginal Novablast. They did not.

Not as good as the First Gen. Less cushiony; ride not nearly as good.

They are a great high cushion shoe, but for some reason they hurt my toes. I thought perhaps they were too small, so I sized up. However, I am still having the same issue. Granted, I work in surgery and are on my feel all day long; I don't think feet were made to do that and will hurt no matter what shoe I have on.

The style and color of the shoe is great, however this shoe isn't meant for me. When walking or running, my foot just pronates and it's something I'm not used to. Having tried the first NovaBlast there definitely is an improvement in regards to stability, but I still think there's room for improvement. I wished I could wear this shoe more often, but I only wear this shoe during short errands.

Too tight I have another Novablast 2 in another color and fits right. This one is killing me actually

Original Novablast was better and more comfortable

i got the shoes 1 month a go and since then its my training runing shoes

It was snug on my big toe, even with thin socks It will be a Goodwill donation.

The toe box was significantly made tighter in Novablast 2 compared to Novablast 1. I had to return them.

I may have misunderstood what this shoe is for. It's a neutral shoe for long distances, so I thought. This shoe does not fit me well personally. My first run it rubbed three quarter size blisters by mile 3 at a slow pace, which brings me to my next comment. Running in this shoe felt impossibly hard after having run in a shoe that's designed to properly you forward. It is a very light weight cushion shoe which I like, but that's the only positive thing I have to say. Would probably be better suited for walking.

Too tight on the toe area. I ordered my usual Asics size, but these just did not feel comfortable for my feet. I kept them rather than return because I thought I would get used to them, but couple weeks in still not comfortable.

I am usually a nimbus gal, but I thought I'd try something new. I was not a fan. I felt that I was heavy on my feet and forward leaning.
