Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast 5

12 wide was a perfect fit. I wear a 12 wide in new balance and 12.5 in brooks (glycerin max and Hyperion max 2) in the superblast 2 I got a 12.5 which fits really well these are soft but also firm they still have a decent bounce to them easy to run at 8:45 - 10:45 paces and able to pick up to a 7:20 pace pretty well .. I feel they are a perfect daily trainer that can pick up the pace some

I need a new pair of shoes and wanted to try a different brand and these were great !

Very snug, can wear it the entire day and still be comfortable.

Great shoe, firmer than the novablast3, perfect for treadmill rather than outside for my liking.

Great responsible shoe out of the box thats ready to wear with minimal break in. Highly recommend buying in conjunction with the Superblast 2s to rotate between running and training sessions

Shoe collapse on the heel. So disappointing compared to Novablast 4. Contacted ASICS warranty department, and I had to pay again for shipping to get a replacement after multiple emails.

Un to this day i do not revive nothing i just wqiting for one month

Its the best running shoe i have ever had, but it has some issues. First day i tried it out it fell off my foot. My old asic never did that in the 5 months i used them. Second, this shoe comes untied a lot more frequently the my other asic and i dont know why. But all in all it is a great shoe for runners serious or not.

I initially purchased the Superblast 2 and loved those, but decided on these to save some cash and it was a great decision. This shoe is great for gym cardio.

I tell everyone that this is the best daily trainer on the market, and it keeps getting better with each iteration.

Great running shoe for training and looks great. Next time I may upgrade to the Superblast

A "do everything" shoe. FF Blast Max midsole is more responsive with greater energy return than the previous version. Upper breathes much better, too. Can pick up the pace if need be. Great daily trainer.

35 miles on them and so far they are great. Nice and soft with good rebound. Runs true to size.

My friends had been raving about this shoe, I decided to purchase it after wearing out my gel nimbus Asics. I was pleasantly surprised. I have been crushing workouts in these shoes, and been running faster on the track than ever. The stability is great, though it is a bit unstable on the curve of a track. The cushioning is amazing, and the breath ability is awesome. On windy days, I can feel the wind hitting my feet. Overall, a great shoe, would highly recommend!

Ran my very first marathon in these shoes. Finished just under 4 hours.

I'm over 200 lbs. and have always gone for heavy cushion. A little less cushion, but more responsiveness in a lighter package seems just about right. And there's a nice amount of room for toes. A great one - possibly my best shoe of all time.

Good shoe. Kinda hard to run slow and chill so Id say the shoe at its slowest is for easy runs, but I wouldnt recommend recovery runs in it. Can easily go down to tempo pace.

Best shoe ever. Blend of a nimbus feel with all of what the Novablast brings. Bouncy and cushiony

Very comfortable for me, a lot softer than the 4s

I purchased 8 pairs of shoes in 2024 from ASICS and HOKA. These are among the best shoes I purchased in 2024. I use them for my daily jogging (5 min/km) and interval training (3'20" - 3'40"/km). The shoes are incredibly comfortable and provide excellent support. I particularly appreciate the soft and responsive ground contact, which reminds me of the HOKA Mach 6, and very different feeling from MAGIC SPEED 3.

The most cloudiness of all shoes. Love the bounce they provide.

Tenis support is fantastic, a great evolution of the previous model

Bouncy, a bit roomier than NB4. Need more winter grip please Asics, release in December with on/off snow in Northeast.

Pandion shipping lost my shoes and even after I contacted pandion and they admitted to losing them Asics customer service said they would send me a replacement . I called back twice since I got no shipping info on the replacement and then they went back in their word and now said that I have to wait their allotted # of days to get a replacement even though the previous rep said it would happen. I had it escalated to a manager and he finally put the refund through since the size was now out of stock after a total of 5 phone calls. The shoes of course never showed up. If you Google pandion shipping you will see very similar issues with shoes getting lost and likely stolen. I will not be ordering from Asics again if they are still using pandion shipping.

Bought and used two times, the shoes were tight especially at the heel. Attempted to return/exchange and it was denied. Apparently you can try shoes on inside, without any sign of wear on them with all tags in place to be able to return. (Most sports stores will accept returns up to 90 days, including Nike).ASICS uses the subjective term lightly used to ensure they can deny any claim.Not sure how anyone can get an accurate feel for any running shoe that way. Horrible custom service. Be careful with this company.
