This is my second pair of 'Novablast 3' and i couldn't recommend them enough. They're incredibly light in weight. Super supportive on the feet and great for mid to long runs. I use these running sneakers daily, Alternating between the 'Novablast 3' Road runners, to the 'Novablast 3 TR'. I have trialed many other running shoes including carbon plated shoes, but they always left me with injury or aches in my lower legs (calfs, shins, achilles) . These shoes are a win and I highly recommend. I will only ever wear Asics going forward.

Maybe this is a break in issue but these shoes squeek like crazy. When I'm jogging especially if I step in a puddle then this squeeek-squeeek,squeeek noise starts, it is actually kind of funny, my kids get a kick out of it. When the shoe is dry its perfectly fine so maybe its just avoiding water and thankfully I live in a dry heat area so avoiding puddles is not a big deal. The other issue that is a bit of a bother but I can live with is that their is the slightest sensation that my feet are leaning to the outer left side of each shoe when jogging. If I stand upright without moving or even regular walking I dont feel it as much. Over all a shoe is a shoe. Each one has its ups and downs. I guess Im just a bit finicky now because this is the most I paid for gym shoes.

Best shoe just got better. Adding the thicker-grippier outsole makes the shoe even more stable without negatively affecting the superior ride/run quality. The "pop" is back. I've had all three versions now and must admit the Nova2, although I like it a lot", lost some of the trampoline (pop) effect. the 3 has it back and the trail outsole grips well, especially going uphill. It bites into the soil, sand and snow quite well. The thicker outsole should wear well and give me more total miles of use than the regular 3's outsole. I run moderate difficulty trails Fire roads and dirt trails in these with no stone bruises even though it does not have a bruise plate. Probably due to the thick mid-sole similar to the trabuco max. The de-coupled outsole snaps back nicely ... MoreBest shoe just got better.

These shoes have been some of the best shoes that I've bought. I've had them for about 3 months now and have put at least 200 miles on them, and they have not failed me. The cushioning is superb and there is a smooth and easy transition into strides that keep me going at high speed, they are massively comfortable fit my feet perfectly. I've owned some carbon fiber shoes in the past, my last pair were the New Balance SuperComp trainers, which are great shoes and I highly recommend them but after about 200-250 miles the cushioning that was once firm and more responsive turned to mush. These shoes are about 50 dollars less than the SuperComps and have far better value and durability than any other shoe I've worn.
Comfortable straight out of the box, giving super cushioning and stability.Bought these to go alongside my Novablast 3s for a bit of extra grip when doing mild off-road runs. Gives extra grip (and confidence) on gravel / grass / light trail - great for Parkrun activities.Toe-box is roomy but still get a good fit. Trainer runs a bit long in length but going with usual size, gives space for toes to breathe!Very pleased with these trainers and their performance
I wrote a long review about the Novablast 3 and I absolutely love it. In fact, I now have 3 pairs of it in different colorways that I rotate along with a bunch of other shoes from other brands. Being that I average 70~80 miles per week, I can justify having many shoes for both the road and trail. Enamored with the regular road version, I was very intrigued by the TR trail version although I knew that it wasn't meant for technical trails that I also run on a regular basis.Although I love road running and it accounts for two-thirds of my miles, my real passion is in running the trails. Instead of pavement, tarmac, and asphalt, I prefer dirt, gravel, rocks, and tree roots to run over or jump over. I have nearly a dozen trail running shoes but couldn't resist the ... MoreI wrote a long review about the Novablast 3 and I absolutely love it.

Enamored with the regular road version, I was very intrigued by the TR trail version although I knew that it wasn't meant for technical trails that I also run on a regular basis.Although I love road running and it accounts for two-thirds of my miles, my real passion is in running the trails. Instead of pavement, tarmac, and asphalt, I prefer dirt, gravel, rocks, and tree roots to run over or jump over. I have nearly a dozen trail running shoes but couldn't resist the Novablast 3 TR based on my experience with the regular version for road running.Overall, the TR version provides pretty much everything that the road version does with the addition of higher rubber lugs. There's a lot of talk about the regular version not providing good traction in wet conditions but that isn't an issue for me since I live in very dry drought-stricken Southern California. Still, I wanted to get the TR version and see how it'd handle the trails that I run. I knew even before I ordered the TR version that it wasn't the right one for my runs on technical trails that I run once or twice per week. These trails have very steep hills, lots of rocks and roots, and plenty of abrupt twists and turns. I have other shoes that are better suited for running on such terrains.Soft-cushioned high-stack midsole isn't really what you want for running on challenging terrains at high speeds. You want ground feel and the nimbleness to shift on a dime. Is the Novablast 3 TR the proper shoes for such endeavors? No, it isn't? I believe ASICS and many other brands have better shoes for such endeavors. This being said, the Novablast 3 TR is great for hard-packed smoothened dirt and gravel trails that are, overall, fairly straight with mild hill inclines and declines.Also, for those who are concerned about running in wet road conditions, the TR version is great for better traction but you do need to take into account that it adds about an ounce over the regular road version. As I see it, TR should stand more for 'Traction' than 'Trail'. I will certainly run in the TR on the road when it does eventually rain and get wet in SoCal during the winter months (December through March). I will run in the TR over smoothened dirt trails over long distances but I won't wear it for running on 'technical' trails.I like colorway of the TR. I normally wear white for the road and anything black and very dark for the trail, so the TR fits in fine. I'll happily use the TR for the road when it gets rainy and wet on the road as well as smoothened dirt and gravel trails as I mentioned earlier. For me, the Novablast 3 TR is more about traction than trail and is also great for the occasional road-to-trail situations. The midsole stack is too high for "real" trail running, IMHO. But, if you seek traction and wearing it for "easy" trail running, the NB3 TR is great.Considering how much I love the regular NB3 for the road, the TR version was a no-brainer for wet conditions and running on smoothened straight-ahead trails. For me, it's more about TRaction than TRails and that's how I'd recommend it. The Novablast 3 is an amazing running shoe. I currently have over two dozen shoes I rotate for various running situations, racing and training purposes, and terrains and the NB3 is my favorite overall shoes and gets most of my miles. The TR version is great but comes with a caveat: it's more about traction and for running on limited range of trails. Works great for me but I recommend that you consider your usage case and the particular environments and situations you run in before purchasing the TR version.
I like the bouncy feeling with that high energy return!It's perfect for fit runners like me. The tongue is constructed in a way that will reduce movements. The midsole is very cushioned to the heel and forefoot for a great rebound: great comfort and performance! NOVABLAST 3 is perfect for short races 5k to 10k, distance training and recovery runs. EXTRA: the beautiful color and the upper midsole design inspired to the geometric origami.
Love Love Love these for MY feet! I'm a plus size woman. Due to weight gain, developed planter fasciitas. I wear 11 in women, but the men for my wider feet 10.5 fits my feet perfectly. NOVABLAST, this upgrade feels sturdier on the back sole. The earlier versions after a while the back heel/sole would sink at bit, that's when I knew to replace shoe. This version, I feel has been corrected. Bridge of foot feels supported, padding is extremely comfortable, sturdy/soft..just the right amount not so SOFT it can have the reverse affect to your feel. AND this shoe is light. I like the TR as I do my hikes up dirt hills.. up and down. Need more TR options. Need cooler color options for the Females. I prefer the Male colors..
Hi,Following much analysis it was time to look beyond my much trusted Asics Cumulus. I have progressed through the Cumulus model for 15 Years but technology has moved on so should I.I have used the Novablast 3 TR shoe for an 18 miler and rep sessions and it does not fail to impress. The comfort is performance has left me amazed my times are improving. You can push a long run and legs are fresh the next day. It transitions between different surfaces without noticing. This is good as the terrain I run varies. The TR version for me is the perfect autumn/winter Trainer when things might get a little slippery on light trails and roads. Do not expect to go fell running in this shoe. It is not designed for the medium to Heavy duty stuff. I have now bought the Road ... MoreHi,Following much analysis it was time to look beyond my much trusted Asics Cumulus.

Do not expect to go fell running in this shoe. It is not designed for the medium to Heavy duty stuff. I have now bought the Road version of the shoe for road only sessions and race day. I am sure the TR version would be fine as the extra grip is not aggressive, but the standard Novablast 3 are even lighter but are still robust.Size wise I have always worn a UK9 in the Cumulus which were perfect. The Novablast 3 are longer so after reading other reviews I dropped half size to an UK8.5 which are perfect fit.In summary where have these been all my life a great buy. A plush trainer with performance!! A shoe where one size really does fit all.
I saw good reviews so I decided to grab a pair of these to try. I got the white/dive blue and love them! I normally range between a 9.5-10 for shoes, and am usually a 10 in athletic shoes, but I got these in 9.5 due to some reviews saying they run long. Glad I got the 9.5- they fit perfect. My feet have an average width and average arch and these are wonderful. Supportive both around my foot and beneath my foot, and it feels like I'm walking/running on mini trampolines!! The only this is the outsole is very wide in the back... I have yet to try them out at orange theory, not sure if they will fit in the rowing machine shoe slots but guess I'll find out soon.
