The cushion of this shoe is amazing! Feels like a cloud! I think they may run a tiny big , next time Ill probably only get .5 more than my normal shoe instead of a whole size. Just get them!!!!!

My first Novablast model. Feels very cushioned but somehow still lightweight. It provides a good bounce, support, and overall is a great shoe to run in. Im happy with my purchase.

Excellent shoe as I wear it to touch to give out pew bound parishioners at my Catholic Church and then go out to give communion to home bound Wonderful shoe to wear with my suit to walk around and stand in a circular church then drive a mile to a parishioners house to give out communion to a homebound person be in comfortable all drss up in a three piece suit with my ASICS on and not having dress shoes on that hurt my feet when I walk around the church plus going to someone home and spending quality toe with them and give them communion only to have my aching feet wanting to get out of those dress shoes.O am so happy to have my ASICS on and not have to change and dont even know I have them on.

Finally found something that is as good as the old school Gel Cumulus! They feel excellent on my feet. Perfect support and great cushion.

Recommended to me from a local running store. I had never tried Novablast before, sticking to gel cumulus. The last 2 versions of gel cumulus werent for me, so I was looking for a replacement. Took a little getting used to, but so far this is a great running shoe. I love the cushion and wide toe box. Cushion is comfortable and the shoe is very springy like a trampoline. The shoe seems great for my knees and overall foot arch. I almost think it does better on road than indoor track. I do wish it was a little more firm/supportive, but all in all I still enjoy the shoe and plan on buying another pair when these wear out. I use this only for running, most often anywhere from 1-8miles but I feel like it would be good for longer distances as well.

Been purchasing at least two colors per iteration of Novablast since Novablast 3. there seems to often be a quality control issue with my favorite aspect of the shoe, the sole. My latest version here, after just two weeks of uphill treadmill walking, the rubber is disintegrating in many spots. Also, the sole seems wider than my last pair, why? Wonder if my continued purchases are sustainable.

I have used the Novablast 4 for half marathon training and loved them. I was so excited to try the 5, and they live up to the hype! They are comfortable, well cushioned, and feel noticeably more responsive than the 4. These feel more generous in the toe box than the previous model, which is nice for long runs. The upper material is more breathable as well.

I love the lightness but needed to return for a larger size. I ended up going with the Novablast 4 since I felt like the 5s have a slightly noticeable coushin in the ball of the foot that I could feel as I ran.

Another fabulous daily trainer from ASICS! This is my favorite Novablast yet; lightweight, more nimble and trim, ridiculously comfortable midsole foam, secure lockdown design, fun energy return, and beautiful construction.

The best shoe I have ever used. I have feet issues from having flat feet my whole life and these feel like I am running on clouds. I have almost no pain at all wearing these.

Really love the run in this shoe. Propolsive, supportive, comfortable but not sinking soft. Negative is I've barely run in these and the tread is pealing up??? Boo

I hate to give this review because I have always been a huge fan of Novablast. I ordered a new release and I was surprised. The fromt of the foot fits very different and the left shoe feels like it turns my foot inward. Unfortunately, I purchased this shoe on a gift card that expired the end of December. In order to do a return they could only credit the same card that I can no longer use. I asked if I could just get a credit for the shoe on a gift card and they said no. I am very disappointed.
