Are you on the hunt for a great cushioned running shoe that doesn’t feel overly soft or unstable? The Asics Novablast 5 is once again a change from its predecessor model which we really enjoyed, but again we think these changes are just making what was good even better.

As always, we’ll give you the pro’s, the con’s and our honest assessment of this shoe. There’s no one running shoe that is going to work best for every single runner! So hopefully the goal of our reviews it just to help you decide if this is the one that you should try.
