ASICS Men's Novablast Running Shoes, 11.5, Black/Black

I love this shoe! The Flyte Foam is really good and the sole rubber is holding up great 100 miles in! Fit was spot on for me. Laced up fit is also great; no heel slip and no weird rub spots.The sole has what I think are unreal cushioning and rebound characteristics.I love these shoes for short and medium distance runs. Hell, I even use them for long distance runs. I also use them for some tempo runs occasionally. I don't use these for a lot of faster tempo days, or speed work. The spring to them is great and the weight of the shoes is fine in my opinion, so those are not the reasons for me. The reason I don't use them for speed work is the softness under those types of loads. For me at speed, a lot of ankle stability goes right out of the window in this shoe. Nothing like the Nimbus under the same conditions in my experience.If you are a runner who is new, or has stability issues with your foot strike, either look at the Nimbus or move on until you're ready. I'm not one to talk people out of a product that I so overwhelmingly recommend but this shoe at times can feel like running on a bed or couch to me (I weight approx. 160 lbs). However, I love it. There is a ton of spring back with the cushion and I am a forefoot striker. The cushioning by no means feels dead. In fact it's my favorite part, but I can see how if a person didn't have great stability in their gate then they may provoke an injury. Especially at a 10mm stack height.The Nova Blast are a tool for the tool box. If you need the tool, great. If the tool is applicable, great. If it's the wrong tool, do yourself a favor and keep moving...In this area of neutral cushion shoes I also use the Nimbus, the Cumulus, and the GEL-Quantum Infinity. All great with different feel and purposes.Enjoy your run! The Nova Blast are a great shoe.

By the time of this review I have run 6 times with them and put 7 miles per run. Of course this is a personal opinion every foot is different and the feelings can variate from person to person.Since it's a written review I do not want to extend that much so it is easier for other people to read.I think these shoes are meant for longer runs in general and use for regular training. The shoe is not meant to be a racing shoe. I think it's a little bit heavier for that purpose. I think it's amazing for daily training. The mid sole is extremely comfortable and cushy. it feel great every step. The outsole is holding pretty well. it still look intact after 42 miles. It's kind of early to determine the duration of it but it promises long life span. the upper is nice and breathable but not enough for Miami Beach Summers. No shoes,, no matter how expensive they are will keep your feet fry here. For other states with better weather will be nice.The only con I can find so far is you might need to adapt a little at the beginning to the sensation of the flytfoam.But in general is a fantastic running shoes. I would recommend to anyone. From my perspective the price/quality is above the other brands in the same "league"

This shoe is exactly what I needed. I work in transportation at the hospital I work at for 6-12 hrs. I have to be running for long shifts pushing heavy beds and I did not realize how important shoes are for this! Every pair I would buy, my feet were hurting after just a few hours. No cushion and my heels were killing me. These shoes are very well cushioned and have a bouncy response so its effortless to walk/run during my long shifts. Perfect for what I do, and my feet stopped hurting after a few weeks of wearing them. Highly recommend them if you work in the medical field or have to stand and be running around at work all day. Only weird thing is that they are bot tight, but not loose. After wearing them for a few days they felt just fine. Will update this post once I see how long the cushion lasts.

The Dynablast is a lightweight running shoe that still provides ample support for longer runs.I put about 25 miles per week on these shoes for a total of about 400 miles, and I found them to be great for shorter speedwork because of their minimalistic mesh upper reduces weight and forms well to your foot. Additionally, I thought they were awesome for longer (>10 miles) runs because the thick and comfy sole cushions your foot strike---even as the miles increase.I've ran in several other Asics models and additional brands of shoes, and what I've found is that many of them provide too much cushion in the upper (especially around the opening of the shoe where the ankle is located). The issue with those designs is that when you sweat, the materials just soak up the moisture, and you wind up with cinder blocks strapped to your feet. These shoes dry quickly, and even when they retain moisture, there is very little material to weigh your feet down.However, some runners may find that this minimalistic approach to the upper causes stability or comfort issues. If you need to have a lot of comfiness around the ankle or along the top of your foot, you may not find it with these shoes.But if you're looking for a versatile running shoe that can support longer miles one day and still feel super fast for speedwork the next day---and look GREAT doing both!---then these are the shoes for you!

This is the most cushioned running shoe I have ever purchased. All of that cushion makes my landing strike farther back on the foot. As a "seasoned" marathoner, I usually train and race in a minimalist shoe that encourages a forefoot landing, so this ASICS NovaBlast shoe has taken some getting used to. The whole idea of getting this shoe was to try something different. We tried to buy the shoe at an ASICS shoe store, but they did not have the color I wanted. The benefit of the failed shopping tour was having the opportunity to try on the model of shoe before ordering the color I wanted from Amazon. The shoe is true to size, but feels a little narrow. Overall I like it and will continue to test out the shoe with longer runs.

Awesome shoe, great seller. Thanks so much, next order is coming to you guys.

Super padres!! y excelente servicio

Se los regalé a mi esposo y le encantaron

Scarpa abbastanza reattiva e sufficentemente ammortizzata per runner leggeri. La utilizzo per medi e ripetute. Non ci farei i lunghi oltre i 15km. perchè ha la linguetta destra difettosa che oltrepassa il calzino e buca il collo del piede (ho risolto solo decentrando la linguetta). Poi non è particolarmente stabile altrimenti avrei dato 5 stelle. Ci ho fatto più di 500 km. ed è come nuova, anche la suola è ancora perfetta. La riacquisterei.

Wer diesen Schuh im Geschäft oder mal eben zur Probe anzieht, ohne ihn zu laufen, dem wird der wackelige Stand verunsichern. Ich hatte ihn in einem Geschäft an, bin damit etwas flotter rumgelaufen und war vom soften Auftritt und der wenigen seitlichen Führung nicht angetan. Aber ich gab ihm eine Chance und bin jetzt begeistert.An kalten Tagen ist das Obermaterial etwas luftig und man sollte hier mit einer guten Socke zusammenarbeiten.Wer Schuhe mit Stabiunterstützung braucht, sollte vorsichtig sein, weil der Novablast ein Umknicken eher fördert als aufhält. Daher muss der Umgrund auch plan und fest sein. Unebener Waldboden oder gar Trails mit Steinen und Wurzeln sind nicht sein Gebiet. Während andere Schuhe nach einem Ausritt mindestens ein bis zwei Tage brauchen um die Sohle wieder optimal auszuformen, ist der Novablast schon am nächsten Tag wieder voll einsatzfähig. Der Laufkomfort ist großartig, etwas weicher aber dennoch gut kontrollierbar. Man spürt zu Beginn den oft besprochenen Federungseffekt, der bei guter Lauftechnik das Tempo gut unterstützt. Long Runs oder kurze Tempo Runs macht er ausgezeichnet mit. Auch wenn der Schuh recht massig wirkt, ist er doch sehr leicht und unauffällig im Zehenbereich. Ich laufe auf dem Mittelfuss, mit geringer bis mässigen vertikalen und seitlichen Bewegung und nutze ihn für Easy und Long Runs. Auf der Bahn und bei Wettkämpfen setzte ich auf Schuhe mit festerer Sohle, wie den GT 2000-8.
