Asics Novablast 5 Standing Shoes

Description

• Upper: Breathable Jacquard mesh upper with zonal ventilation, gusseted stretch-woven tongue, and an internal rearfoot cage to eliminate heel slippage during prolonged standing shifts.

• Midsole Cushioning: High-stack FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam made with 20% bio-based content, engineered to absorb heavy downward gravitational pressure and resist compression set.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Broadened midfoot base and sculpted sidewalls frame the foot, dampening vertical load forces and keeping posture stable without feeling overly rigid.

• Outsole: Full-contact AHAR™ LOW HARDNESS rubber strategically mapped across high-wear zones for high-friction traction on indoor concrete, slick tile, and hard workplace surfaces.

  Key Features & Benefits

• FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO Cushion Core: Resilient bio-based foam maintains its cushioning height to prevent underfoot pack-out during 12-hour shifts.

• Broad Postural Base: Wide platform geometry centers body weight evenly to reduce strain on calf muscles and ankles.

• Gusseted Midfoot Wing: Secures the instep cleanly to eliminate foot shifting and midfoot hot spots during static standing.

• AHAR™ Rubber Traction: Durable, low-hardness compound delivers quiet, slip-resistant grip on hard workplace floors.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

  Fits True to Size (TTS) with a supportive midfoot lockdown. Workers with wider feet (2E) should consider ordering half a size up to accommodate natural foot swelling over long shifts.

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.

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.
