The arch didn't strike my foot as I would expect a size 8 to do and overall it seemed too wide.

Love the cushion. The shoes are a bit too peachy for me but very feminine color. Returning due to color only not style.

These are very comfortable shoes. They have good arch support and a padded footbed that allows for long wear without losing comfort. Also have good toe room and nice tight heel so no slippage. The tongue is a bit awkward and difficult to straighten on one of the shoes. I wish the colors were better though. They almost look sparkly. Comfort is more important than looks, so I kept them, but on looks alone, they would have been a definite no.

Love how the Novablast 5 fits! Usually ASICS are too narrow in the toebox for me to wear- these have enough room in the toe box and a great fit in the heel ( no need for lacing for a heel lock!) . Great amount of cushioning and yet the Novablast 5 is light and decent for faster runs in addition to regular training days

These shoes are really cushiony and comfortable. I’m between a 9-9 1/2 so got these in the larger size. There’s lots of room in the toe box so no bruised toes. Perfect for my walks in the hills and light jogging. Great buy!

These are strange! I usually wear gel nimbus but these were recommended as better. Not true. These seem to have extra support under the forefoot and heel, leaving the arch feeling suspended with less under it. I’m sticking with the gel nimbus!

Toe box was too big. Have a narrow foot and was hoping this would work, but did not.

Im lovinggg the Novablast 5 ! Have been enjoying these as my daily trainers, perfect if you love bounce and cushion but still want to feel the ground a bit. Very well balanced. Highly recommend!!!

I bought these a few days ago and im loving these shoes so far! I use these to run everyday and they have good cushioning. They are very good for anyone looking to buy good daily trainers.

I loved the shoe but the tongue was just too flimsy and frustrating. Had to pull it up from where it slipped into the shoe and adjust it each time I put the shoe on. It was supposedly held in place by the shoelaces but they didn’t.

Excellent bounce, feels like its encouraging you to go further and very responsive to ground contact. Did a half marathon with this straight out the box and I am thinking of getting my second pair

No breaking in period which is great. Did a long run with these bad boys and I’m absolutely obsessed! It feels like I’m running on a cloud! The color ways are also really cute!

Recommended from a local running store. I had never tried these before, sticking to gel cumulus. These are my favorite running shoes. Cushioned and springy enough that my knees and feet are happy. I can run on road again and the spring/cushion combo helps prevent knee pain. Best value for the price in my opinion. Do run a little wide

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.

I ordered my regular size in the ASICS Novablast 5. They feel like I am walking on a cloud. I will wear them around the house for a few days to be sure there are no issues with them, but I don't suspect there will be. I will update if there are issues.
