Not my favorite Asics
I have been wearing asics for running and other workouts for the past 15+ years. The Novablast were a slight disappointment. They dont hold my foot in place.

Highly recommended!
I have tried 3 different running shoe brands recently, and this is the best one for me. ASICS Novablast 5 helped me with improving my time during my daily runs, as it is very comfortable and has a good cushion for my feet, which prevented me from having muscle aches and shin splints. I wore this shoes during a 5K run, and I’m happy with the outcome of the race. I dropped my time significantly.

NO PAIN, NO GAME!
NO WAY! I had shins, ankles, & knees problems for yrs, BUT with this shoes. This is a life game changer, I have not been feeling this good in yrs when running cross country for many yrs. This is my 1ST TIME wearing this running brand shoes! I absolutely love warring them when working a place whe. have to stand between 6 - 11 hrs work shift & no foot pain afterwards from work! I will definitely buy more of these shoes in the future!

Cloud bouncing
I purchased for my daily speed walks w the dogs. These shoes are like bouncing on clouds. They do kind of look like clown shoes on your feet. Sometimes you have to make that sacrifice though. I am usually a 9.5 but I was recommended a 10; I probably could have gone with the 9.5 but am satisfied with the very slight bit of extra room. Great on the streets as well as on the trails. Highly recommend.

Great Switch for Long Runs
First time running in Asics and so far have loved these. Moved up a half size to give my toes plenty of room. These are super cushiony and great for long runs, easy runs.

My new long runs
I was in need of new long run shoes, and these have been on my list for awhile. I finally pulled the trigger and have no regrets! They are super soft and super comfy. I have wide feet and I can wear a regular width with no problem! There is a lot of toebox room.

Nailed it.
I really like the cushion and support I feel with every step of this shoe. I also appreciate the forward bounce. I get through every running stride.
