Ive had the Asics Novablast 4 for nearly 4 weeks and they are the best runners ive had. Ive always been an Asics man and I've usually gone with the Cumulus Gel series. Several weeks ago i decided on a change and ordered a pair of Hoka Clifton 8's. Im so glad Hoka do a 30 day trial and return. After wearing them 3 times i returned them. They were/are awful running shoes. They hurt my arches and the front of my feet ached. So, i went with the Novablast 4 and boy am i in running heaven. They are a brilliant shoe. Plenty of bounce but a decent amount of firmness also. Slow runs and fast tempo, they are ticking all boxes in the early weeks of running in them. Im currently training for my 5th Half Marathon which is in September. Hoping the Novablast carry me through to then. Im confident they will.

I have to say that the novablast 4 is an amazing update. I found myself yesterday thinking “is this pretty close to the superblast 🤔🤔🤔🤔”…that’s how much it’s improved. Superblast needs to be run hard to enjoy it. Otherwise just get the novablast..it’s pretty good now

If you're an intermediate runner and you have £250 to spend on running shoes it might be money better spent, in terms of running versatility and experiences, to get the NB4 and a trail shoe. Maybe the Speedgoat 6 or Challenger 7? Nice little two shoe rotation! Superblast seems more geared towards marathon runners.
@leonchristensen17659 ай бұрын
Sounds like I need to try the superblasts. Good to hear someone else agrees the novablast 3s are an absolute dead zone. They just take all the fun out of a run by absorbing everything (including motivation) and giving back nothing. And I loved the 2s.

Bought the Superblast, but even after 80km I don't enjoy them. The shoe is very rigid, difficult to get a good lock-in at the heel and making my arch cramp a bit. Also feels clunky with this huge sole. Can't relate to the positive comments in the review.

Thanks for the review, but you failed to mention durability(Superblast spefically) as a lot of people have commented on other influencers channels that the outsole is poor,and they are basically goosed after 300 miles,which is not really good enough for a daily (super?) trainer at the heavy price they cosr.
