My new running runners

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these. Tried them out for a 5 and a 10k and they have great cushioning on front and heel. Good bounce but also a bit of stability. They are so comfortable I didn’t want to take them off. Im a short distance runner 5 to 10k and have very comfortable run in them even at speed. Definitely going to buy another pair.

My go-to running shoe

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair of the Novablast 5, and there’s a reason I came back to them. I feel like this shoe works incredibly well across all distances, from faster 5K runs to long marathon training runs. It keeps my stride feeling light while still giving me great responsiveness and energy return. It has become my go-to shoe for pretty much everything. Whether I’m looking to run faster or simply get through a long training run comfortably, the Novablast 5 never disappoints. Definitely a shoe I keep coming back to!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice comfy shoe. Very comfortable for walking. Good for speed sessions but not super sturdy for slower runs.

Super comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a lot of problems with rubbing and blisters in my previous shoes but these have been so comfortable and not given me any issues. There is not a huge amount of arch support if you need it.

Comfortable shoes

Originally posted on asics.co.uk

These are very comfortable trainers. I bought them after spending a long time researching how to take up running, and this was the model that had been recommended to me. I’d advise going up a size to avoid any problems with your toenails.

Fantastic!

Yes, I recommend this

I absolutely LOVE these trainers, they feel like you’re running on air! I’d been looking on the M&S website for a while as I knew these were the trainers I wanted after doing my research, I missed out on the last deal they did but this time I was lucky, so glad I persevered and managed to get them at a great price!
