I had been cruising through several brands, started on Asics (Kayano), shifted to Brooks (Glycerin15-16 and Hyperion Tempo)), changed to New Balance (1080v9-10-12), bought Adidas (ultraboost 22) in between, Nike (Invincible 1 and Alphafly 1 for racing), tried Hoka (Bondi 8), and decided to go for the Novablast 4. The reason, I was using my New Balance for shorter runs (60-120 mins) and was solely relying on the Bondi for long runs. At the beginning I loved them, I felt they were like a loyal friend, I could use them on almost any surface, trail or rocky roads and still felt safe. But they started feeling heavy and began to hate them.
About the Novablast 4 and although I have only used them twice, for two hour runs, I can say they feel great just out of the box.
Upper: soft but they hold my feet.
Sole: not a great grip on wet surfaces, have not slipped though.
Laces: ok, nothing amazing just ok
Cushion: Asics Novablast 4 feel cushioned and soft AND reactive. I was afraid of buying a pair of shoes that felt just too squishy (nimbus), because although I am not an absolutely fast runner, I sometimes run intervals. Novablast feel just right for that: light, cushioned and responsive. My two runs have been on hilly paved roads, and somehow they make me feel my hip feel better (I have an injury), more comfy and protected. The weight feels just right, not too heavy (as with the Bondi I feel running on bricks) and not as light as the Hyperion Tempo, but the cushion and reaction feels just great for my needs. After running, my feet feel perfectly good, not sore at all, no signs of affected calluses. I will update as soon as I finish my long run on the weekend, that will be approximately 3hrs. Love the color, although it is definitely NOT red, for me that’s more of a neon orange.
Update after long hilly interval run: 30kms/ 19mi (440mts + ascent)
Shoes feel well during and after a long run. It might be better a bit more cushioned sole for after km 26/ mi 16, but if it’s your only shoe, it will take you through it all and they’re good even for intervals. Feet feel happy after long run, legs, hips and soul as well.
I just ordered the Metaspeed Sky Paris for racing my next marathon. Will surely tell how it goes and I hope they’re amazing.

Me gusto el modelo, la talla, súper cómodos para correr, solo que son blancos, se deben lavar muy seguido

Great color, comfort, fit, and price. Seems like good quality, had lots of compliments on the color. Hard to find comfy shoes for my picky feet, these are comparable to my mach5.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet! They fit perfect and have great support, I feel like I can run forever in these with no pain or discomfort. The style and colors are also super fun. I will never buy another brand of running shoe

Je n’ai jamais rien porté d’aussi confortable. Une pantoufle!

Now that I’ve had these for a few months I feel like I can give an accurate review. These are the best sneakers I’ve ever run in. I don’t have much more to say but I have tried running for years and these are the shoes that got me really running. I feel like I can run forever in them. They’re comfortable, supportive, stable and they look good!!! I always size up with running shoes. Typically an 8-8.5 and went with a 9.

Love everything about the Asics Women’s Novablast 4 Running shoe. Super comfortable and fits great. The shoe is very light weight and well made. The toe box is generous and it has great arch support. Great shoe!!!

Sexy, great design, colours selection is awesome… most importantly it delivers for support, durability for high impact exercising; aka running. If you’re a runner and want to look cute this shoe is perfection!

I have been wearing Asics for years. I am a Gel Nimbus repeat buyer, but I couldn’t find a neutral off-white color in that style. Consequently, I looked at other Asic style options and saw the Novablast had a color combo I liked.
They arrived just before a trip to NYC (lots of walking). The Novablast were immediately comfortable, cushiony, and like walking on air. These are my new favorite style of tennis shoes. In addition to my Gel Nimbus, I also have Hokas. These fit me so much better than the Hokas and feel better on my feet as well.

This is a great running shoe. It’s my first pair dedicated to running and I’m enjoying them. They have a lot of cushion and spring which is great for running over uneven sidewalk. The shoelaces are very long since I have a narrow foot but I’ve never tripped over them. No durability issues so far. I’m not going to call them beautiful but they’re not the most hideous.
