ASICSWomen's NOVABLAST 4 Running Shoe

I used these to train for my first half-marathon. They are super comfortable and durable. They were true to size, but a bit narrow around the toe box. Very lightweight and pretty!

I had been cruising through several brands, started on Asics (Kayano), shifted to Brooks (Glycerin15-16 and Hyperion Tempo)), changed to New Balance (1080v9-10-12), bought Adidas (ultraboost 22) in between, Nike (Invincible 1 and Alphafly 1 for racing), tried Hoka (Bondi 8), and decided to go for the Novablast 4. The reason, I was using my New Balance for shorter runs (60-120 mins) and was solely relying on the Bondi for long runs. At the beginning I loved them, I felt they were like a loyal friend, I could use them on almost any surface, trail or rocky roads and still felt safe. But they started feeling heavy and began to hate them.About the Novablast 4 and although I have only used them twice, for two hour runs, I can say they feel great just out of the box.Upper: soft but they hold my feet.Sole: not a great grip on wet surfaces, have not slipped though.Laces: ok, nothing amazing just okCushion: Asics Novablast 4 feel cushioned and soft AND reactive. I was afraid of buying a pair of shoes that felt just too squishy (nimbus), because although I am not an absolutely fast runner, I sometimes run intervals. Novablast feel just right for that: light, cushioned and responsive. My two runs have been on hilly paved roads, and somehow they make me feel my hip feel better (I have an injury), more comfy and protected. The weight feels just right, not too heavy (as with the Bondi I feel running on bricks) and not as light as the Hyperion Tempo, but the cushion and reaction feels just great for my needs. After running, my feet feel perfectly good, not sore at all, no signs of affected calluses. I will update as soon as I finish my long run on the weekend, that will be approximately 3hrs. Love the color, although it is definitely NOT red, for me that’s more of a neon orange.Update after long hilly interval run: 30kms/ 19mi (440mts + ascent)Shoes feel well during and after a long run. It might be better a bit more cushioned sole for after km 26/ mi 16, but if it’s your only shoe, it will take you through it all and they’re good even for intervals. Feet feel happy after long run, legs, hips and soul as well.I just ordered the Metaspeed Sky Paris for racing my next marathon. Will surely tell how it goes and I hope they’re amazing.

Took these on a long run yesterday (10k) and they felt great. Lots of support and very cushiony. I have fairly high arches and I put my arch inserts in and they worked great. Very lightweight and breathable. I normally wear an 8 but I got an 8.5 since feet swell a little when running and that worked great.

Excellent cushion in the heel and ball of foot. Good arch support. Roomy toe box. True to size. I purchased because of reviews for a lightweight shoe good for knee and foot problems. Love them!

I normally wear a size 9 but I had to size up to 9.5. At least for me they run small. I have been running in the nimbus for over 10 years and with the new model I had to choose a different shoe. The new nimbus styles just wrecked the way my legs land for some reason and caused pain in my knees. I have done prime before you buy for a little over 3 weeks now trying to find the perfect shoe for my long distance runs. I’m missing my fibula bone in my left leg so stability and cushion is a need for me when I choose a shoe. These shoes are amazing! They propel me forward and they make my surgery leg feel like it hardly is hitting the ground! These will replace the nimbus shoes for me in the future! They are also cheaper than the nimbus which is a big bonus! I’m so glad. I finally found a shoe that makes me enjoy running again. I really feel like these shoes work with my body instead of against it when I run. They also are super cute! I can’t wait to try these out for my half marathon in a few weeks!

I wear these shoes daily, all day, about 4miles. The color combination is beautiful and the support is great for my feet (though I add a custom orthotics). My only complaint is the tongue is hard to find when putting then on, but at the same time the tongue is thin, which I like (can hardly feel it) as I have had ankle injuries.

I adore ASICS Novablast series. Over the last 4 years, I’ve probably bought 8 pairs in different versions and colors. They’re very supportive and comfortable. I used to have a lot of issues with my feet - some nerve pain and neuropathy & these seem to have helped, I think because of the cushioning and width - there’s no binding or pinching with them. I’m not a runner, but I am a walker and I do find that the tread wears down after about 6 months for me.

Nice big toe box and very nicely cushioned. Worth the money.

Of course how it fits your foot is the most important. But this is an excellent shoe. The quality is evident down to the shoe laces. Honestly, even the laces are a very good quality! ASICS are a leading brand and this is one of their best shoes. This model has some treads on the sole for running on trails. However you cannot feel them at all when running on the road unlike with some other trail shoes. Although this is not the best shoes for more challenging, technical trail it is great for a mix of road and trail or just road running. In fact it gives you slightly more traction on wet or slightly snowy roads. This is a sturdy shoe that will last you for many miles. It is for a neutral runner. Pronators should take a look at the ASIC’s gel kayano model.This is also a beautiful looking shoe! Yes even the shoelaces look beautiful! HahaAll this is wonderful if you are a runner but this is also a great quality and beautiful shoe for walking as well IMHO. I would definitely recommend that you take a close look at this shoe.

Muy cómodos y la medida es justa ni más grande de el número que calza ese es el Justo queda muy bien

Son mis primero tenis asics y de verdad la calidad es muy buena, valen completamente lo que cuestan, afortunadamente los encontre con descuento. El envio de amazon fue muy rápido y llegaron el mismo dia.

These seem sturdy and are a comfortable run but are slippery.
