Asics Novablast 5 Standing Shoes

Description

• Upper: Flexible forefoot mesh that accommodates metatarsal swelling and bunions, supported by a structured heel counter to hold the calcaneus bone steady over the midsole center.

• Midsole Cushioning: Ultra-thick FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam stack engineered to absorb vertical landing forces and minimize continuous static loads on knees, hips, and lower back joints.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Broad geometric base layout supports natural arch structure, limiting excessive inward roll (pronation) and reducing tension across the plantar fascia band.

• Outsole: Full-contact AHAR™ rubber sole mapped to eliminate localized pressure spots under the heel and forefoot, distributing body weight evenly.

  Key Features & Benefits

• Plantar Strain Relief: Wide midfoot platform and contoured foam sidewalls support natural arch geometry under static body weight.

• Joint Shock Mitigation: Ultra-thick eco-foam buffers continuous floor feedback, drastically lowering impact stress on ankles and knees.

• Grounded Rearfoot Stability: Rigid heel counter cradles the rearfoot to maintain proper anatomical standing alignment.

• Removable Footbed: Factory sockliner removes easily to fit custom medical orthotics or arch supports.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

  Fits True to Size (TTS). The removable factory sockliner easily accommodates custom medical orthotics; select half a size up if using thick custom orthotics.

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 preferred 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:

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

• Performance Running: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and natural toe expansion.

Asics Signature Fit & Characteristics

Performance Fit Profile: Asics running shoes are engineered for a snug, locked-in feel around the midfoot and heel to ensure maximum stability, with optimal room in the forefoot.

GEL™ Cushioning & Arch Support: Due to structured arch support and GEL™ inserts, performance models may feel slightly snugger out of the box compared to casual sneakers.
