My favorite running shoe
I've been wearing the Asics Novablast for a few years now, the 5 being the latest model. I find them just right for me. They have a nice rocker/toe push off but also plenty of cushioning and support. It feels like a solid stable neutral shoe to me.

Responsive and versatile
This shoe was recommended to me by a store associate. Wow! I have bought another pair for myself and pairs for three of my kids. I initially thought they would not serve well on tempo or faster paced runs but they are responsive there too. Highly recommend them!

I really love this shoe. I've been running in it for a few years, and it's just a solid shoe. The fit is great, cushion is great. The color combo is better in person as well.

Asics Novablast 5
Hardcore Asics fan. Usually wear the Gel Nimbus or Superblast but love the Novablast for something different and a little lighter.

Super comfy!
This is my second pair of Novablast 5 and I still love them. I got the all black colorway and love how they look. I wear them as my easy run shoes - the soles give great support without feeling too soft.

Great shoe so far
Very comfortable shoe from day one. I walk more than run and I either wear these or my other asics. Both have nice cushion while still feeling the ground. Can’t attest to durability yet. But other ASICS I have had last a good year with lots of miles on them. Hope these do too.

Solid with a comfy bounce
I enjoy the novablasts and the 5 is no exception. It’s a solid road runner with good support but not too much cushion.

Great Store, Great Shoes!
These are awesome! This is my second pair of Novablasts, my first one being Novablast 4's last year. They are very comfortable, and it takes 200 miles of running (give or take a few,) for them to start to get uncomfortable. I find them to be best for trail running, but they are also good on a track. When the time comes, I will definitely be repurchasing. Marathon Sports is the best place to get shoes because the staff are very nice and knowledgeable. Their foot scanners are also very helpful. Thank you Marathon Sports!
