In general, I never had a good experience with ASICS. Whatever model I tried, I ran a maximum of 10 kilometers with it and then sold it. I always went back to HOKA. I don't know why I gave it another chance, but what I do know is that I made a very good decision.
I haven't been this excited about a shoe since the first time I ran with HOKA! It truly is a shoe that you run with and enjoy. I am 180cm, 84kg, and I believe that for my profile, the foam in the Novablast 3 is perfect. The fit is wonderful, the size is as expected, and compared to the Clifton 8, which I primarily run with, it is significantly more comfortable in the front part of the foot, resulting in the foot "spreading" correctly with each step. I realized this immediately by putting on the Clifton right after the workout, where I felt that it gripped my foot tightly!
I consider it a shoe that is suitable for all types of training, and I am even thinking of running the marathon with it. It is truly enjoyable, and I would describe it as an advanced Endorphin Speed, more friendly for daily training, since I have many kilometers with it and can make a direct comparison.
For its price, it is completely worth it and I highly recommend trying it out. I find it unlikely that someone wouldn't like it, and it will definitely be one of the best sellers of 2022.
EDIT: Unfortunately, the amazing feeling they have didn't last long (at least for me). After 200 kilometers, there is a significant difference in the feeling as they have hardened a lot, and there is no longer the sensation of stepping on a balloon by any means.
Very comfortable shoes. I have bought 2 pairs and I can confidently say that the quality of construction is unacceptable. The sole has come off in one pair, and both pairs have holes inside the heel. It's really a shame because they are very comfortable shoes
Excellent shoe, perhaps the best training shoe. For distances up to 16 km, easy runs, tempo, fast intervals, whatever you ask for, they do it without fatigue in the legs or injuries. It is not a race shoe and cannot be compared to such, but for everything else, it simply does not exist. It also lasts for 600 km without significant wear, but somewhere you will see a difference with a fresh pair (in the comfort of fresh foam). I am already on my 2nd pair and it seems like I will buy it again. The only downside is that on very hot days it does not breathe well, so temperatures can rise. Of course, this only happens if you wear them for a walk, otherwise during training they do not bother you. Also, the fit is excellent.
I bought them after reading the reviews here.
I tried other shoes before and although I said that those were very comfortable and nice, as soon as I put these on, I simply said that I clearly see the reason to spend 30-40 euros more for something I will wear half of my day.
I use them daily at the gym and for walking and I feel like I'm walking on clouds.
It cannot be compared to any other shoe I have ever worn in my life.
The only downside is that the fabric quality doesn't seem very good. It is very thin on the sides and after a month it has worn out and is going to tear.
I will come back with an update.
You wear them and fly. We're talking about energy return, shock absorption, and comfort much better than more expensive shoes. I tried more expensive Asics and I felt these were better with better shock absorption. I also tried more expensive shoes from another more famous brand and they were far behind the Asics Novablast.
Daily use, walking about 4-5 kilometers.
I hope they will last like my previous Asics (a much cheaper model).
The main negative is that after a few months of use (not very long daily use) it tore at the point of the front fingers, a pity for their money, usually my sports shoes last about a year to show such wear and tear. Also, they hurt me the first week but that was fixed.
I was disappointed with the 2, I decided to try it again because I found it at a very good price. The shoe is awesome, comfortable and long-lasting in all rhythms, it leaves feet relaxed and overall it is a great tool. Pay attention to the size, I went half a size down
Literally you wear them and fly. Very good boost with every step, encourages you to run. Frame 1.92 meters with 120 kilos and I feel in the air. ASICS lovers now more than ever!
In few words, the best shoe on the market, forget Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, etc. In this category, there is no rival. Try it in a store and you will understand. I weigh 130 kilograms and I feel like 80
I run about 40km per week. The shoe is lightweight and relatively fast, but the material used for the upper - both inside and outside - is of poor quality. It's the first time a shoe in a larger size has hit my heel! I think Asics took a step forward in design and two steps back in quality. Going back to New Balance
They are very comfortable and lightweight, but the construction quality is mediocre to poor. The inner lining above the heel has worn out on both shoes due to frequent use, but in a short period of time (+-5 months of use). It's a shame because they are really comfortable...
I really like them, they look very nice and they are indeed very comfortable. There is a big difference in how much lighter the step is compared to my other shoes. Obviously, this has some impact on speed, but that's how they are. However, in a recent race, I achieved my best performance in a while with these shoes.
As for durability, who knows, I have worn them for running about 10 times, which is roughly 50km in total, and they haven't shown any signs of wear yet, but it's still early.
Extremely lightweight and incredibly comfortable. Due to issues with my waist, I can't even feel anything when running on asphalt, excellent cushioning. They are also beautifully designed, hopefully they will withstand the test of time.
I come from Asics Kayano 25, a very good running shoe.. but like everything, it had its end. I bought the Novablast 3.. the shoes are springy. Very good cushioning. I got them for everyday running, around 8 kilometers per day. For the first 30 kilometers, it was a bit uncomfortable, but then I started getting used to them. My feet got caught in the beginning because they are quite soft, but afterwards, they were fine without any problems. As for durability, only time will tell.
With the previous model (novablast2), I ran the marathon and I was very satisfied. Now with the novablast3, I have run a total of 148km so far and I can say that it is much better than the previous model. This model is for neutral pronation. Personally, it helped me because my right ankle does not absorb shocks like the left one. A very good model for both short and long distances for athletes with neutral pronation.
Update: after 5 months, 788km including a classic marathon, and the shoes still have plenty of life left. They didn't bother me at all during the marathon.
I have them for a year, I wear them every day. All day long. For everyday use, it is the best sports shoe I have ever worn. I will buy them again. 11/10
The shoes are extremely lightweight, I thought I wasn't wearing anything. They are very nice and great for running and walking. Now, as for durability, we will see in time.
Today, on June 13th, I bought the novablast 3. I went to stores and tried various shoes and I liked the cushioning and energy return from the beginning... The reason I give it 4 stars is because the sole seems very thin underneath and it might not hold up... Overall, it's worth the €144 I paid for it... Also, pay attention to the size, for example, I wear a size 47 in Adidas and I got this one in size 48, which is 30.5 centimeters.
Excellent purchase. I recommend it for those who work in the catering industry and specifically for those with long hours of standing. It really feels like walking on a cloud!
Very comfortable and lightweight shoes. I needed shoes with a wider toe box and suitable for my flat feet. Previously, I wore the Asics Foundation 12. After that, I tried the Kayano shoes which didn't fit well on my feet at all. The Novablast 3 shoes are the best shoes I have tried. They are just as good as the Foundation 12 shoes, which unfortunately are no longer available.
Excellent quality and fantastic design!!! Super lightweight and dries quickly.... Training with heavy rainfall in Santorini!!! Stable grip with great absorbency on a surface with intense variation. I highly recommend it!!! I have the entire Novablast series. This is the top of the line.
I have never worn something similar in my life, very uncomfortable and it feels like they scratch you when you walk or run. If they last for a year, then I will definitely buy them again
I have had them for about 11 months for work (service).
Apart from the fact that the sole hardens and hurts your heel, it tears at the front edges after months of use
Quite lightweight and comfortable. The size is exactly as described. A shoe will last, of course, depending on its usage, at least eight months if you run three times a week for up to 30 km.
The shoe is the most comfortable and lightweight thing I have ever worn. However, in terms of construction quality, they don't seem worth their money "see tongue". I hadn't bought Asics for years, but every pair I bought in the past ALWAYS had holes in the front near the big toe, I hope they have fixed that in these. Nevertheless, I will give them 5 stars instead of 4.
First impression very good. They are beautifully comfortable, lightweight, but above all soft. They are not soft like some others that are so soft that they bother. Also, when I walk, I feel like there is a spring and they flick my foot upwards, which makes them even more comfortable. JUST PERFECT !!!
After about 150km, I have to say that this shoe simply doesn't exist, I have run on various terrains and it has performed PERFECTLY!!!! I will definitely buy them again!!!
