    • That Boy Bouncy
Size: 10 Wide Color: Black/Cobalt Burst
These shoes are beautiful and quality. The vibrant blue color is great and stand out. They take a little getting used to if you're not used to these tall running shoes, but after you get used to it, they're wonderful. They feature a good fit, with the wide variety perfectly fitting my massively wide foot. The mesh upper is very breathable and light. It sort of feels like walking on a bouncy pillow (in a good way). I also notice that my walking time is a little better, so perhaps it does add a bit of spring to your step. They are pricey but super comfortable and look like they will hold up. ... show more

    • Daily trainer?
Size: 10 Color: Indigo Blue/Amber
I’ve wanting to try the Novablast since version 3. I am glad to finally pulled the trigger. So far I have put on a little over 20 miles on this pair. First, these shoes seems true to size compared with most of my shoe rotation. The heel collar is nicely padded and the tongue is minimal but doesn’t create pressure on the top of the foot. The toe box is roomy with the upper material having some flexibility and fairly breathable. I am a little confused where to use this in my shoe rotation. I have a long run shoe (Saucony Triumph) and shoes for fast workouts (Saucony Speed 2). The Novablast 5 can take the place of both shoes but probably doesn’t give you quite the speed as the Speed 2. It definitely feels well cushioned and quite bouncy. The midsole has the tallest stack height I own measuring 41.5 mm. I think this can be a great all around shoes if you’re only looking for 1 pair of running shoes. I would definitely bring this on a trip because it would be great for walking and also doing a few moderately paced runs. I’m planning to use Novablast for tempo day workouts and maybe some longer runs just to protect the legs from getting too beaten up. I also own 2 pairs of carbon shoes (Nike Vaporfly and Saucony Pro) that I only use for running events. I think the Novablast 5 will suit a lot of runners due to the stability and being fairly lightweight. This shoes is also a great deal too in my opinion. A max cushion shoes usually runs in the $160 range and uptempo shoes will set you back about $170. Overall I’m happy with this purchase and think most people will be too! ... show more

    • Most comfortable shoes ever
Size: 9.5 Wide Color: Black/Cobalt Burst
Awesome for running, very comfortable with feeling a floating in the air. Got the wide version for wide feet, fits comfortably.

    • Great all around shoe
Excellent fit and cushioning. Came back to these after trying several other styles. Just light enough and give some stability.

    • Favorite tenis
I’ve been wearing the ASICS Novablast 5 for my runs, and I’m honestly so impressed. They’re incredibly lightweight, super comfortable, and the cushioning feels amazing with every step. They provide great support and make both short and long runs feel much easier on my feet. I also love the modern design—they look just as good with workout outfits as they do for everyday wear. If you’re looking for running shoes that combine comfort, performance, and style, I definitely recommend giving the Novablast 5 a try. They’ve quickly become one of my favorite pairs! ... show more

    • Comfortable and versatile, but not the most responsive
Size: 11.5 Color: Oatmeal/Black
I’ve been using the Novablast 5 for a while now, and overall it’s a solid daily running shoe. The cushioning is soft and comfortable, especially for easy runs and longer distances. It has a smooth ride, and the shoe feels lighter than expected for how much cushioning it offers. The upper is breathable and fits well, with enough room in the toe box to stay comfortable during longer runs. It works well for everyday training and even some moderate pace runs, which makes it pretty versatile. That said, it’s not the most responsive shoe out there. When picking up the pace, it feels a bit less energetic compared to more performance-focused options. The grip is also just okay, especially on wet surfaces. ... show more

    • Better than my high expectations
Where have these been all my life? I now look at all my other shoes in disgust. I wish I could just wear these all the time. I took them straight out of the box and ran 6 miles at a tempo 8:30 pace. They were amazing and springy even though not worn in. I can't wait to keep training in these for my half marathon. But they are so comfortable just standing around in (and make you a bit taller). I have narrow feet and they work fine if I lace them properly. But they would be good for wider feet as well. I think they will be durable if you're not heal striking hard because they have enough of the thicker rubber along the bottom - not just soft foam. But they are very light weight. For the money you can spend on other shoes, I don't think you can ask for more at this price without getting carbon plate shoes that are only meant for race days. I'm in my 40s now and the knees and feet need more help. I wish I had found these long ago. They're so bouncy with the cushion but I still have enough feel for the road. These would not be great for lateral sports like tennis or basketball. But for running and walking... 5 stars. ... show more
