ASICS Novablast 4 Women's Trail Running Shoes
The Novablast 4 is a great choice if you want a shoe with extra bounce. Lighter and with more energy return than the previous version, it's designed to help you run faster. And it will leave you feeling energised every step of the way. It's no surprise that it's the preferred training shoe among athletes.
Engineered Woven Upper
Made from an engineered woven upper, the Novablast Trail will keep feet cool and comfortable on the trails ahead. The stretchy construction encases your feet to provide an optimised, comfortable fit, moving with your foot for comfortable movement, whilst the strategically placed perforations prevent overheating and ensure that feet feel fresh. The durable upper protects feet from knocks, bumps, dirt and debris on the trail, ensuring you have a long-lasting reliable running companion. The one-piece design prevents irritation or chafing from occurring when on the trail, therefore reducing distractions, for optimised comfort. The materials have moisture-wicking properties, to prevent the build-up of sweat and moisture, reducing the level of in-shoe discomfort, and allowing feet to feel fresh and dry. The shoes have a supportive heel design which helps to guide the foot with more control through your gait cycle. An updated tongue wing construction in the upper helps improve the midfoot fit of the shoes, whilst simultaneously reducing the amount of tongue movement. Working alongside this, a traditional lace-up system locks down the foot and prevents in-shoe slipping and lastly, reflective details enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
At least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.
FF BLAST PLUS ECO Midsole
Creating a plush, cushioned landing and excellent underfoot comfort, the Novablast 4 Trail utilise an FF BLAST PlUS ECO midsole. The midsole provides the perfect balance of lightweight and rebound properties whilst using 20% bio content, making them the better for the planet, and providing a more energised toe-off during your training. These layers of protection, bounce, and comfort provide you with unmatched shock absorption and a trampoline-like ride. The shoes have a comfortable sockliner for extra levels of cushioning and assist in preventing injuries or discomfort. The sockliner has also been produced with solution dyeing processes to reduce water usage and carbon emissions.
AHAR Outsole
For excellent grip and traction across trail surfaces, the Novablast 4 Trail Running Shoes have an AHAR outsole with a trail-specific design. The durable outsole is perfect on off-road running terrains and works to provide a strong grip, protect itself from damage and users from losing control and prevent slipping. Creating a strong bond with the ground beneath it, the outsole allows you to stay in full control at all times.
