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

Perfect for my hyrox training. Stable, good to run in and work on stations.

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.

So great, I bought a second pair!
Excellent! It literally shaved almost 30 seconds off each mile! How?!

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!
