Asics Novablast 5 Anatomic Shoes

Description

• Upper: Engineered Jacquard mesh upper featuring anatomically mapped flex zones, stretch-woven gusseted tongue construction, and a supportive heel counter for zero-slip foot lockdown.

• Midsole Cushioning: High-stack FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning made with approximately 20% bio-based content, delivering ultra-springy energy return with an improved strength-to-weight ratio.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Trampoline-inspired geometric midsole pod carving creates an energetic springboard effect while maintaining neutral anatomical tracking through the gait cycle.

• Outsole: AHAR™ LOW HARDNESS rubber outsole strategically placed across major pressure zones to offer high-traction road grip and enhanced durability without adding unnecessary weight.

  Key Features & Benefits

• Anatomic Metatarsal Flex: Flexible forefoot geometry allows the toes to splay naturally during high-energy toe-offs.

• FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO Bounce: High-rebound eco-foam bed compresses and snaps back rapidly to maximize propulsion efficiency.

• Gusseted Tongue Fit System: Anatomically contoured midfoot wing prevents tongue sliding and wraps the instep securely.

• AHAR™ Low Hardness Rubber: Provides superior ground-contact adhesion across dry and wet pavement surfaces.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

  Fits True to Size (TTS) with an anatomically sculpted midfoot hold. Runners with wider feet (2E) should consider ordering half a size up for optimal forefoot expansion.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your usual running/athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).

Recommended Fitting Margin:

• Sportstyle / Casual Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.

• Performance Running Shoes: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm to allow room for natural foot swelling and toe movement during runs.

Asics Signature Fit & Characteristics

Performance Fit Profile: Asics shoes are engineered for a secure, locked-in fit around the heel and midfoot, while providing adequate space in the toe box for impact protection during foot strike.

GEL™ Cushioning & Support: Built with structured arch support and GEL™ technology, performance models may feel slightly snugger out of the box compared to everyday lifestyle sneakers.
