I am working so hard to make these work. I feel like I am walking on cement. The soles are just too firm. These fit me better than any others so I am investing in insoles and trying. Bitterly, angrily trying.

Fit and size is a little narrow. My foot was rubbing against the shoe but length is true to size. I have flat feet and for some reason the shoe made the back part of my feet hurt. I'm not used to extra cushioned shoes, I winder if my foot was having a hard time feeling stable. If you like well cushioned shoes this is the one for you! The rest of my foot felt like it's working on clouds, so I'm not sure what was going in the back of the foot. Sad I couldn't keep them because of the pain. I work in a hospital as a nurse aide so I'm constantly on my feet standing and walking if that helps.

I work 12.5 hour shifts in a hospital and walk at the very least 10 miles per shift. Because of this I need a lot of cushion for my heels. I have purchased several pairs of Novablast for work over the past 2.5 years. I have always been able to put them on and go with no discomfort. However, when I purchased a pair of Novablast 4 and wore them to work I had so much pain in an area of my foot that I don't usually have pain. I was limping half way through my shift and could hardly walk towards the end of my shift. I tried adjusting the laces, tried different socks but nothing helped. I called to ask about an exchange but was told they would not work with me. So now I have a $140 pair of shoes that I can't wear.

LOVE these shoes even more than the 3s. My only complaint is that they run hot. I've worn my thinnest of thin socks and my feet are still hot (even on 40 degree days). I'm hopeful that they will work during the summer months. But other than they these are great shoes!

Fit TTS but to me they have little arch support compared to other Asics I’ve had. Lightweight and bouncy for a run or workout but not shoes I would wear all day for comfort - the heel/toe drop makes them start to hurt my feet after a few hours. Still kept them because the color is pretty and they’re great for cross training

UGH UGH. Why is every sneaker brand trying to look like hokas. I love the cushion in general, but the constant adjustment to the front of the shoe has made it more and more like a clown shoe and both the V3 and V4 have been awful for me. I came to asics because I loved the V2 when I tried it on, got me through training for a full marathon and the start of the half training Im doing now, but I have been relying on Amazon to get the V2s bc ASICS churns out new versions so fast and stops selling old. V2s are now impossible to get on Amazon and the new versions just arent working for me. So frustrating!!

Great shoes! Im on my feet a lot as an OR nurse and these shoes definitely help me get through the day. Very comfortable and lots of cushion. Light weight & breathable. The design of the shoe really helps to propel your feet forward and they keep your feet secure.

It is too bulky for me, like a mans size. Weird fit. Unfortunately the return policy does not allow me to return because i already took the tags off. Ugh.

Overall I enjoy the Novablast 4 but I find the length of the shoe to be a little bit short. I went true to size, as I have with all other Novablasts (I have run in every model of Novablast), but these seem shorter in the toe box. Maybe I was spoiled by the voluminous upper on the Superblast. I still like it and I will still run in it, but I wish it fit more like the Superblast.

The original Novablast model actually felt the very best. Please don't mess with this model's functionality much more!

These have been amazing! I didnt even feel like I needed to break them in. They just worked like a charm right from the start. Perfect balance of cushion and springiness.

Im a huge Novablast fanI probably went through 5 pairs of the Novablast 3. The Novablast 4 are gorgeous, but they did have a break in period for me. After 30 miles, they felt more comfortable and became more versatile in usage. I still feel like theyre not as cushioned as the 3, but I love them for speed work. Still a great option for a daily trainer!

Im shocked how big a difference an amazing running shoe makes! I recently upgraded from some regular tennis shoes to the novablast based on recommendation from my partner who has around 8 pairs of running shoes. These are the best for me - I run 3-6 miles twice a week. Cushiony without being overly bouncy. Supportive without being heavy or stiff. Laces dont slip and great grip for running in the rain and on slick leaves here in Seattle. Recommend same size or size down - quite roomy especially if you usually size up for athletic shoes to allow your toes to expand, no need with these.

Very wide and long. It fits awkwardly. I liked it because it fit my narrow feet before but now it doesnt and my ankle also moves around

The Novablast 4 are comfortable and great for strength training and conditioning workouts.
I'm also very pleased with the navy blue color.

I liked everything about this shoe except for the height of the heel. It throws to much weight onto the front pad of my feet, and my feet are just skin and bone there, so I just could not wear them.

I absolutely loved Novablast 2 & 3, so when the 4th version was coming out I couldnt wait! The color schemes this time around arent my favorite, but overall I was super excited. And then disappointed when I put them on. The Novablast 4 does not seem to have as much support as the previous two versions and the cushioning feels worn even though they are brand new. I received these as a gift for Christmas and I really cant exchange them- just really disappointed honestly.

Super comfortable super light dont even feel like youre wearing sneakers. They are even more comfortable than the nova Glass threes which I loved. I wear them all day for 10+12 hours nursing and for my other activities and they are just fabulous. Also they have a wide tow box and no lace area that can aggravate, if you have any toe issues or concerns, love these shoes, so glad to have gotten them will definitely buy them again

I cant give proper review to shoes I couldnt receive, however Im giving customer service a 1 star for bad service. Long hold times when called via phone, and still awaiting decision for my refund request case after back and forth emails.

They looked cute and not as huge as some current popular sneakers. Love the thing at the heel that helps U put on however they just weren't comfortable , didn't feel very cushioned and a bit tight in the outer toe area......

Wanted to love them but they just weren't comfortable for someone with some foot/knee issues not enough cushioning - front too big but something didn't hit the lateral foot area quite right :- (

Love the look & color of these shoes, but they didn't feel as supportive as the other (more expensive) Asics I usually buy. The inner padding and arch support was average, and the tongue was so thin and flimsy that the top of my foot didn't feel protected or comfortable. That said, they've been great everyday walking shoes and I'd buy again if I needed a cheap pair.
