ASICS Novablast 3 Reviews

They loved the Novablast 3 so much that they went through eight or nine pairs.

Their Novablast 3 pair is nearing the point of needing replacement.

Loved the Novablast 1 and 3, but running more than 10 miles in the Novablast 3 led to posterior tibial and flexor hallucis tendinopathy.

Their Novablast 3 has over 700 miles and is still fine.

Liked the Novablast 3 and ran a lot of miles in it, but after 5-6 miles it gave them a numbing pain under the forefoot from the trampoline pod in the midsole.

A heavier runner who can't go more than about 6 miles in the Novablast 3 before it starts to hurt, while the firmer Boston can go 12 miles or more.

A 73 kg runner with 900 km on the Novablast 3 and 980 km on the TR version; both still work for slower runs, the TR's outsole lasts longer with better grip, but they stopped using them for tempo after 600 km.

Found the Novablast 3 lackluster: long and slappy, not cushioned enough for long miles and not fast enough for speed work.

Calls the Novablast 3 a much snappier shoe than the Nimbus 25 it replaced and the best daily trainer they have had.

A new runner whose first real running shoe is the Novablast 3 is happy with it; it was pleasant as they built from a few km to a 54-minute 10K race.
