Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast 5

Best running shoes I've ever owned. Bettet than amy other brand.

Could very well be the most comfortable shoe I have had for running shoes.

Very comfortable this has been my training shoe for base running for a year bought it 3 times now

Love these shoes from running. Provides an extra bounce with each step. And has improved my endurance.

Very comfortable definately one of my favorite shoes for daily running

Simply the single most comfortable running shoe I've ever worn.

Best shoes I have ever runned! 2025! Amazinggggggf

I just started running and Ive been doing 3-6 miles easy runs almost every day and this shoe is comfortable, balanced and bouncy. Great pick as my first running shoe

I honestly thought these were not in the box as they are SOO light!! They provide the right amount of cushioning as well.

Comfortable but already starting to come apart, unusually for ASICS

Great fit! Love the bounce, does take some getting used to though.

I wouldn't expect anything less than what these shoes provide. They are lightweight and cushioned in all the right areas. The colorways could be a little more vibrant... but then again, I rarely stare at my feet when I run.

The shoes are very comfortable. Theyre a little bit different design with maybe a little more foam. Ive ordered many, many pairs and Im always a 10. This time they are a little bit sloppy. Im attributing this to the different style, but even after cinching them up a little bit, they feel a touch too big for me.

These are good shoes. I only have about 15 miles on them but i think i am going to enjoy them.

Excellent cushion and very bounce comfortable upper.

The Novablast 5 FF Blast Max foam is just the right mix of foam, absorbs most of the shock on my joints without too much bounce. They are ideal for easy/moderate pace running. My legs and joints after a run are in great shape after a run in the Novablast 5. I like the Novablast 5 so much I purchased a second Novablast 5 ASICS Track Club version!

I love these shoes. They feel great and are fun to run in. My only complaint is that I got these in white and have run through the snow a few times and the shoes are now black in the toe box.

Extremely comfortable with lots of cushion. Great for long walks and standing on your feet for long periods of time. The sole is the real star, but the upper is a stong supportive role. This shoe is not too tight on the width and has a great fit for my foot. I would recommend this shoe to anyone. I walked all over Kyoto Japan in these and they did not disappoint. Made my trip there exceptional.

Great fit, no need to break in. Have yet to run in.

I had high expectations for the Novablast 5, given the widespread praise for its FF Blast Max cushioning, which is similar to that of the Superblast. Initially, I purchased the standard width, but it was too tight. When I bought the wide-width version, I was surprised to find that the shoelaces were 810 cm shorter than those in the standard width. I returned the first pair of wide-width shoes and bought a second pair in the same size, only to face the same short shoelace issue. As a result, I had to buy new shoelaces. It's perplexing why Asics would provide shorter shoelaces for wide-width shoes, which are presumably designed for customers with higher-volume feet. This is the second time I've experienced shoelace issues with the Novablast line. A few years ago, when I bought the Novablast 3 Lite-Show, I discovered that the left and right shoelaces were different lengths. At a $140 price point, I expect better quality control and consistency. I hope Asics addresses these issues in future releases.

Best running shoes I have ever owned. Very comfortable and very breathable.

Two runs so far in Novablast 5. I'm a mid-60s lanky man running 4-8 mile, flat and hilly, at 9-11 min/mile pace. The Novablast are true to size fit, comfortable from the start, and light and performant enough to be fun. The tread has 'ok' grip in wet (slipped a little but not bad), and the tongue design isn't great; not sewn up the sides of the upper. Other than those 'nits', this is a very solid training shoe which provides some speed without being too bouncy, harsh, or too soft. Good choice.

Bouncy. Comfy. Wonderful. Fun. Nice. Awesome. Fantastic.

After testing shoes at a local sporting goods store, I ordered my usual size in the Wave Teal/Black color. However, the heel was very tight, and I developed back pain after wearing them at home for only half a day. I'm unsure if ASICS manufactured this particular color with a tighter fit, or if it was a defect. I returned them to an ASICS store and purchased the same shoe in a wide width.

We started power walking 3+ miles steep incline daily over a year ago. Wore Brooks, On Running, Hoka, and Others. By far Novablast and Noosa are the best. It is absolutely our go-to.
