Asics Men's NOVABLAST 2 Running Shoes

ASICS Novablast 2 LE are some pretty great shoes that meet and exceed expectations in several areas. Fit - The ASICS Novablast 2 LE fits true to size. I wear a Men's US 10.5 and didn't feel like the shoes were loose or overly snug. Notably, my heel felt pretty secure, which is usually the moment of heartbreak whenever I try on new shoes. Even some of my past favorites have adjusted fit to the point that the shoes feel loose after only the first or second outing, but that isn't the case here. Feel - ASICS says these are max cushion and standard stability and I agree with those descriptions. Cushion is fantastic and almost makes you feel like you're bounding down the road. I do prefer a bit more stability, but because the shoes have maintained their solid fit, that hasn't been too much of a problem. For reference, the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 23 has some of the best support I've found in a road running shoe, though the comfort factor was a few levels down from the Novablast 2 LE. Other Notes - The laces are these are great. They look a little like snake skin and have actual grip to them so they stay in place. I don't believe they are unusually springy, either, which is another way that the shoes boost confidence amid fewer stability features. Misc. - My stats: * Weight: ~171 to 181 lbs (~77 to 82 kg) * Mileage: ~40 miles/week (~65 km/week) Recent running shoes: * Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 = This is my usual go-to and still a top pick for me in terms of stability, comfort, and feedback. * On Cloudflyer = Not a fan. Felt more like casual shoes (think Vans) with minimal support and comfort. Might be good for a mid-distance fun run shoe. * New Balance Fresh Foam 880v11 = Generally okay to include in a rotation. Fit and feel are pretty good, but feedback is limited.

Finally I found some shoes that are an absolute comfort to use! I’ve been searching non stop, purchasing and returning numerous shoes only to find that they were not working to my liking. I have significant heel pain and I’ve been looking for running shoes to help with pain during my runs. These feel like you’re running on pillows and have the most awesome rebound I’ve ever experienced. The shoe is mesh and helps your feet to breathe. They also have great ankle support as well. Best part is the price! I purchase shoes well into the 100-200 dollar price range and had to return them. These blew the competition out of the water! Definitely recommend these!

ASICS are very comfortable. I have always worn Nikes and was surprised how much cushion and comfortable ASICS are . I am now a fan of ASICS . Have about 5 pairs of different styles now and all are much affordable and a lot more comfortable than Nikes . Love this style particularly. Look cool and have good cushion.

Love these shoes. Lasted me two years with minimal tearing. Other Asics have not fared so well.

Shoe fits true to size. Love the look of these, the bright colors make this shoe pop! The cushioning is above average and after about 3 or 4 wears they broke in nicely. Not as comfortable or cushioned as my hokas but they still offer good support and comfort

I'm happily surprised, this are light, comfortable, and springy/bouncy. They make walking and standing ALL day a breeze. Absorb a lot of impact and give you a nice smooth push with every step. U feel energized. Durability might be an issue, hope not. If the fabric fails, I'll be happy to sew/repair them. I paid $99 for mine, now the price is $89, might grab another pair!

THEY ARE ASICS RUNNING SHOES

Arrived on time and was packaged with care

Schuhe mit angenehm weicher Dämpfung. Bin damit zwischen 6:00 und 3:00 min/km problemlos gelaufen. Die höhere Stabilität und etwas geringere Sprengung (8mm) passt mir besser im Vergleich zur ersten Version. Schuh fällt etwas länger aus, aber nicht mehr so Breit wie Version 1. Einziges Problem ist die enger zulaufende Zehenbox, welche mir bei einem Lauf auf 35km Blasen verursachte.

Nachdem meine alten Asics-Laufschuhe ihren Geist aufgegeben habe, war ich dringend auf der Suche nach neuen. Mit diesem Schuh habe ich endlich ein Modell gefunden, dass einfach klasse sitzt. Auch wenn es nicht so aussieht, aber es ist ein leichter Schuh, der beim Laufen einen Bouncy-Effekt hat. Gefühlt läuft man wie auf Wolken und dazu noch schneller. Erwartungen vollends erfüllt.

Alles wie erwartet

Läufe zwischen 5 und 15 km. Gewöhnungbedürftig. Dann aber Strassenlauf wie auf Waldboden. Entspanntes leichtes laufen ohne Beschwerden.
