    • Great everyday shoe
Size: 13 Color: Black/Carrier Grey
Comfortable shoe that does not weigh heavily on my feet. The style is modern, has great arch support and is true to size. I use this as my everyday "beaters" and they hold well too, so the durability on this is amazing at this price point. Which you'd expect from it

    • Best Daily Trainer of 2024 (technically)
Size: 11.5 Wide Color: Indigo Blue/Amber
The media could not be loaded. Today, we are reviewing what i call the Jack of All Trades daily trainers, the ASICS NOVABLAST 5. But I will also go into why I think this shoe is perfectly described by the full saying “jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one” A quick background. This shoe was released back in November 2024 and I’ve had since its initial release. I’ve put about 70 miles in it so far so not quite long term, but i feel comfortable giving my honest opinion on it now. Specs: Starting with the upper, it has a very comfortable, lightweight and breathable Jacquard mesh. The upper is wide and very comfortable for my wide and thick feet. It has a semi-gusseted tongue which is very similar to the Superblast 2, which you guys know I loved. Size wise, i normally wear 11.5 wide (if available) and that is exactly what I got. It fits me perfectly. Very comfortable in the heel area with the thicker foam around the heel so no slippage or need for runners knot. Midsole wise, it has the new Flytefoam Blast Max which is soft and bouncy. Compared to novablast 4 which has the FF blast + eco which was much more firm. It has 41.5mm in the heel and 33.5mm in the forefoot for a 8mm drop. No carbon plate. The shoe is very flexible and not as rigid which helps with the a quicker turnover and doesn’t feel big underfoot. The heel is very wide and stable and the foam is not super compressive so I get a much more stable ride overall. Good value for the money for what it offer in terms of functionality and overall balance. Finally, the outsole is this Ahar Lo rubber outsole and I’m sad to say, it’s not great. It’s very slippery in wet surfaces so you have to be careful when you run in harsher weather. What are they like to run in for a runner like me? They are great! The fit and feel in them is one of my favorites of all the shoes that I have. The foam is soft but the right kind of soft. As I’ve said in the my other videos, I’m not a fan of very unstable and compressive foams. They cause a lot of instability when I’m running especially as a heavier runner. This FF Blast Max though is absolutely perfect blend of soft, stable, and bouncy. It feels soft underfoot, but it’s not super compressive like the 1080’s or other max cushioned shoes. For me personally, it’s a very good blend and it’s stable at the same time. Because i have a wide and thick feet, the shoe fits very well and i didn’t notice any kind of movement or slippage. The lockdown was perfect. However, it may be an issue for anyone who has narrow feet because there is a lot of room in the forefoot. There are a couple of issues that I came across when running in these shoes. While there is a good amount of bounce, these weren’t the greatest for my faster workouts. I felt like i had to really push these shoes along for the faster paces which is around 10min/mile for me. Not saying you can’t do the fast runs in them, it’s just not as propulsive as the EVO SL which has the bounce and the aggressive rocker. Another issues is something i mentioned earlier around the grip of the shoe. It’s very very slippery even though it was supposed to be an upgrade from the novablast 4. So for me, I haven’t been running in them outside in the rain just because I did almost slip a few times when i ran through a slippery path. So just be careful in these. What have I been using these for? Everything! I’ve been using them for my easy run, some long runs, and speed workouts. But here is the reason why I titled the video, jack of all trades but master of none. Don’t get me wrong, it is a very good all around shoe, but it’s not the best any particular thing. For example, it’s not the best for speed workouts because the bounce isn’t quite there compared to other daily trainers like EVO SL. For long runs, they sorta stiffen up for me and lose the bounce so not the best for long runs unlike Superblast 2. But before you get the wrong idea, I actually think it’s a good thing that this shoe is Jack of all trades because isn’t that the whole point of a good daily trainer? Sure there are specific speed shoes for fast workouts, max cushioned shoes for easy recovery days, and long run shoes, but a good daily trainer is one that can do all of the three well. So in my opinion, that is why I like this shoe so much, it does everything for me. I do wish they had better color ways so that I can use them for my travel days. But they are the easiest option for when I don’t want to think about which shoe will work best for a workout. ... 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

    • 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

    • Exceptional support and responsiveness in this shoe.
Size: 9 Color: White/Piedmont Grey
Comfort and support are exceptional. As advertised, the responsiveness of the type of cushiony foam and the motion control of the shoe’s design are the best in its class.
