ASICS  Novablast 5 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

The ASICS Novablast 5 are among the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever worn, offering excellent cushioning and a smooth running experience. However, I bought a pair about 2 or 3 months ago for track and field as well as cross country, and used them heavily. Unfortunately, the durability is lacking, as the sole began to rip within just three months.

I have had multiple pairs Asics Novablasts. A few of the 3s and then the 4s and now just received the 5s. I’ve only done a few runs, but love them. Asics keeps moving in the right direction with each new generation. I find these to still have plenty of cushion, but to also be a little more supportive and seem to have a little more bounce and return than previous generations. This is a great all-around daily running shoe. Great for slow and easy miles but I just did a speed workout and it fit that bill as well. My son is a soon to be division one college distance runner and uses these as daily trainers for his easy runs.

It’s a cool looking and comfortable shoe; my gripe with the shoe just after 4 runs in the park so less than 15 miles there is a chip in the foam; at first I was thinking it was a chewing gum but I was wrong I’m super gentle on the shoes normally and I was unpleasantly surprised about its defect No more than 2 stars for the shoe

I am enjoying the shoes. Look forward to training in them for upcoming marathon in March. I'm apart of Ainsley'sAngels.org.. You sponsor one of our runners. I would love to be able to be sponsored so I could train and race in Asics. We would be a great team in Wilmington North Carolina spreading inclusion. What do you say?

My husband bought these shoes a little over two weeks ago, and the quality has been really disappointing. He was so excited at first — the reviews were great, the shoes felt super light, and he even said they might become his new favorite pair. But that didn’t last long. As you can see in the photo, the material tore apart after just 2 weeks and 3 days of normal use. For the price, this kind of durability is unacceptable. Definitely not worth it. I wouldn’t recommend these.

They fit great and are super comfortable. I just got them so I haven’t ran yet but I can tell these are a winner.

Incredible. Best of the best as per usual with my fav asics

Amazing feel, feels like running on plush pillows.

Trash.. wanted to like these.. rotating these out with another pair of shoes..running 5 days/week approx. 35 miles per week..less than 6 months.. one of the bottom treads comes off.. tried to glue back on after tread comes off and ASICs say its my fault. ASICS doesn't stick to warranty. Going back to Nike and giving EVO SL a try.

This is my third pair of Novablast and this is the first version to break down so rapidly. I have a tear and ripping on the top fabric after a couple on months of wear. I did not have any such issues with version 3 or 4. I'm am very disappointed in the quality !!
