How the signal works
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

56 reviewsIn short
Bouncy, protective and durable with a wide stable base; the weight feels clunky when speeding up.
Most runners find the Novablast 5 soft, bouncy and comfortable, with a roomy, breathable upper.
Plush yet lively, though arch and heel blisters are the most frequent complaint.
