This shoe is simply fantastic in every way! This shoe offers a more springy (Squooshy) cushioning than any other shoe I've ever worn. It's so comfortable to wear for running, walking, standing, and even working in. It's the best running shoe I've ever worn. I have 4 pairs and will most likely get another pair before they're discontinued. The Novablast 4 is firmer than this and won't offer you the comfort this shoe does. Great job Asics on this shoe!!!

Let me first start off saying thank you for your design of your Nova blast 3 shoe. Let me also say I'm just a regular blue collar worker who works 12 hours on their feet. Therefore I can say I really hate my feet I hate being on them if there is too much pain. A regular work shoe has no padding underneath and not a lot of support. I was looking for a shoe that I could wear that would not give me any pain at all. The Nova blast 3s when I looked up on videos about them came up to be the top two or top number one shoe for comfort. I can let you know that by wearing regular work shoes my knees and my lower back hurts all the time.But after receiving the NovaBlass 3 and wearing them all of my pain has gone away. I wanted to write the company to thank them so much for ... MoreLet me first start off saying thank you for your design of your Nova blast 3 shoe.

At first, I thought the NovaBlast 2 were the most comfortable shoes ever. My usual shoe is the Cumulus, which I've been wearing for over 10 years, but I found them to be getting tight in the forefoot. I run marathons and weekly training is around 35 - 45 miles. I liked the 2 so much I ordered the NovaBlast 3. Unfortunately, I started to develop hip pain after logging around 200 miles in the NovaBlast 2. I didn't make the connection to the shoe until I noticed that my inner foot was dropping (sinking upon impact). It was like the cushion gave way under the inner side of my foot. This doesn't happen in the Cumulus or any other running shoe I've used. It's not a stride issue or anything like that. After a few weeks of no running to let my hip heal, I started running ... MoreAt first, I thought the NovaBlast 2 were the most comfortable shoes ever.

After a few weeks of no running to let my hip heal, I started running again but only in other shoes. Hip issue did not come back. Of course, eventually I had to try the NovaBlast 3, which I only used once when I first received them. I thought it may have been a flaw with only the one pair. Nope. Hip pain started coming back and I noticed once again my inner foot was sinking. My wife even notice that my foot looked odd while running behind me. Threw both pairs in the garbage. These shoes seem to work fine for others, but not me, which is too bad because they are comfortable. It's more important to me that I run without pain!! Wish I had kept them for a photo, you could actually see they were tilted inward.

Most fun shoe I've ever ran in. My first venture away from gel (30+ years injury free) and so far this is my favorite shoe ever. Feels like running on a gym matt in my socks. Wouldn't change a thing. Marathon pace is usually 3hrs +/- would feel comfortable training or racing in these shoes. Never thought one shoe could do both!Bought vs 3 since reviews said vs 4 was not as bouncy due to eco foam. Also "eco" virtue signaling turns me off. Just please continue making good shoes!
Best running shoe I've ever owned, I've worn the GT-2000s for several years and last year switched to Kayanos which I considered an upgrade. Novablast by far outperforms these two previous. SO SO comfortable and bouncy as it is mentioned. It took me 2-3 runs to get used to it since it feels high when you put them on but boy are they awesome! I do a about 17miles during the week and then a long run on the weekend, 8-10miles. Last two weekends I did a 12miler and 14miler and they did not disappoint. One thing that I wish ASICs will improve is the bottom of the sole, feels and is pretty flat without much grip unlike their other shoes. I'm not asking for a trail shoe but better grip on the bottom can be improved.
I really like these shoes. They are my current standard choice for asphalt/concrete running training. They are cushy and bouncy, while also allowing me to run faster if I choose to. I recently did my 5K PB in them. I believe that thanks to these shoes I improved my running form. These are neutral shoes, and thanks to the softness of the sole foam I discovered that I'm slightly pronating, which even computer imaging of my feet did not pick up. Knowing this helped me a lot to adjust how I run as well. I also have a bone deformity where my Achilles tendon attaches to the bone and these NovaBlast 3 shoes do not irritate it which is really great! If you are a neutral runner, and want an upgrade over your typical beginner running trainers, these shoes should be on the top ... MoreI really like these shoes.

Purchased this shoe to replace previous daily trainer (NB 880V13,) which I had been well pleased with. Like the NB, this shoe presents smartly, and the midnight/olive oil livery is fantastic.The fit gave me pause. Initially, I did not sense that locked-in feel around the heel. However, I found that once I had laced-up and sat out on my initial run the fit I was looking for seemed to be there.The shoe felt light and bouncy throughout the 5.5 mi breaking run. Dry conditions didn't allow me to put to test the traction of the outsole, but it inspired confidence in the dry on asfalt.It was a balmy 62 degrees Fahrenheit, but the upper appeared to be fairly breathable. It was most certainly comfortable, and the laces have a nice almost stretchy or elastic property to ... MorePurchased this shoe to replace previous daily trainer (NB 880V13,) which I had been well pleased with.

I had no issues with them wanting to work loose or come undone.Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase and look forward to spending more time piling on the easy miles before offering any additional updates.
I usually use Nike and Hoka, but wanted to expand to other brand, and decided to try Novablast. I didn't like old Asics heavy running shoes, so I didn't think about Asics for a long time, but I heard and read great reviews about these shoes, and I thought Novablast is different from the old heavy Asics that I am familiar with.It's a bit heavier than my Mach 5 (my favourite training shoes), but lighter than Air Zoom Tempo or Zoom fly. Cushion is pretty good, as a lot of people say. It's great for training runs on the slow side. Wish it is a bit lighter. Upper is too thick and adding weight. The outer sole seems durable, although I am not the loud sound the outer sole makes. I guess it's a trade off against durability. As many mentioned, I also heard that the grip ... MoreI usually use Nike and Hoka, but wanted to expand to other brand, and decided to try Novablast.

As many mentioned, I also heard that the grip is not goo, in wet condition. I so far avoid running with them when it's raining or wet. I probably keep this policy. The green color of the sole is really cool. Although the gray upper color is not clean. I don't like the pattern they put on the upper. I think the shoes look better without the pattern on the upper. Overall, I am happy with Novablast for training. Wish it's a bit lighter, and the upper design is simpler.
I did a lot of online research before I decided on this shoe, and I was not disappointed. I am an average runner who just likes to go out and hit some road runs. These shoes are perfect for that. From the cushy yet responsive soles to the stretchy laces, I love them. I am super particular when it comes to tying my running shoes, and I haven’t had to readjust my laces with these yet. And the heel cup is super snug without being tight and rubbing. I don’t even have to do a runner’s knot to prevent heel slippage. I cannot recommend these shoes highly enough. Lastly, they fit true to size. I am a 10.5 in most running shoes, and I am in these as well. If you’re thinking about getting a pair, do it!
Great combination of cushion and snap. Good for a longer run where you pick up the speed, it seems to be a good go to for day-in and day-out miles. I love the forefoot cushion and the plush ride of the midsole. The upper is comfortable without being excessive. Its a great pairing with my Gel Numbus 25s, which I use for long, slow runs or recovery runs. I also appreciate the fact that there are an incredible array of color ways.
