I bought them a week before my first 5K and they are definitely worth it. I was using Ghost 15s before and they were okay but I wanted something different. After reading reviews and watching many videos, I settled on these. I am 6'4" 280+ pounds and these are are extremely comfortable for someone my size. They provide great cushioning with a good bounce too. I spent a week breaking them in before the race and come race day, I ran faster than expected. I did not feel fatigue at all and actually felt like I could have kept running after the race was done. These have become my new daily trainer.
I had seen a lot of good reviews for this shoe, but trying out the Novablast 3 for myself has blown me away. The safety yellow colorway looked cool in pictures, but I was shocked at how bright and beautiful they looked out of the box. I put them on and was amazed at how soft and cushioned (and stable) they felt while also being very light for a daily trainer (8.4 oz in my size 9). I went out for a couple of runs and loved how bouncy and responsive the midsole was without being too mushy or unstable. The ride felt so great that when I looked down at my watch I was going 30 seconds faster than my race pace without even realizing it! I'm really looking forward to putting in the miles in these shoes!
I’ve had multiple pairs of all 3 NovaBlast gens and the 3s are by far the best. Awesome new upper, more cushion than previous gens, amazing color ways, and very stable underfoot. I’ve ran probably 400 miles on my 4 different pairs of NB3s so far over the last couple months and they haven’t disappointed.
I was running, when i start to feel something strange behind my feet.. : / They are comfortable and great for easy and hard runs, but have a serious quality issue.
Probably the best most versatile daily trainer out. This shoe really does it all for me. I especially love it as a recovery day shoe. There’s a ton of compression and a nice propulsive sensation. It’s a very forgiving shoe. The one and only thing I can say that is a let down is the grip when wet. Other than that… the shoe is incredible. I run about 60 miles a week and most of them are in a pair of the Novablast 3!
These are amazing. With Morton's neuroma issues, I appreciate the nice soft but springy pad under the forefoot. So many shows don't have that nice feel in that area. These shoes will probably replace a couple of other brands of shoes I have, as these are so versatile, so no need for so many different pairs of shoes anymore!
I bought these shoes after seeing reviews of them on YouTube. I’m new to running and plan to run my first half marathon later this year. I wanted shoes that were relatively light, but also well-cushioned. These shoes were both. I noticed a big difference after a 10-mile run. I plan to wear them in my first race.
Second Pair, will buy another. Not my favorite for workouts, I just don’t get as much spring from the toe as I’d prefer and the traction leaves a bit to be desired. Aside from that I love these as a daily trainer and I’m sure I’ll order another pair in a month or so.
I love my shoes. They look great, the comfort and style are great. I ordered 8.5 but my regular shoe size is 9. Its fits perfectly!! My wife is disappointed as she cannot get the same color for herself.. but overall its Great!!
Love them. They kept the toe box wide enough and still manage to take down some weight. The split tongue is a great upgrade too. I was hesitant to upgrade from the 2’s but these are awesome. Look super cool in person too.
