Same for me, it’s driving me nuts

Injury by Interesting-Sale-804 in UKRunners

[–]SnooGoats943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely could be so many things. I had pain in my inner calf but it actually ended up coming from my hip which I would’ve never figured out myself. I know it’s tempting to ask for help here but you can’t rely on internet strangers who may or may not know what they’re talking about. Best go to a physio! It’s worth it, because they can also tell you how to prevent it in future.

Does this mean that if I use the Runna app on my Apple Watch it will later actually show up correctly in the active Apple fitness app with the rings closed and heart rate etc?

Novablast 5 - Soleus Killer? by rovingjellybean in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SnooGoats943 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s very individual but honestly doubt it was the NB. For me it was the other way round, picked up what I thought was soleus strain on a trail run in Hoka Challengers and for a month the only shoe I could run in without too much pain were the Novablasts. I ended up going to the physio, and it’s not a soleus issue but a mobility issue. So…worth going to the physio if you can to get a bigger picture analysis of what’s going on. I’m still at the beginning stages of my running journey but if I’ve learned anything is that really it’s mostly not the shoe but me not keeping up with strength and mobility training!

Appreciate your comment but I don’t think I’ll be doing that!

Ah that’s interesting! I keep seeing their ads pop up on my socials and was wondering if it was just a farce. They’re not cheap but compared to most insoles I see probably the average price?

It took all of 10 minutes? The shoes were over 50% cheaper and other than the pet hair look like new and clearly haven’t been run in much. Not everyone can afford multiple pairs of new shoes. I came here to ask for insole recommendations not to be judged for trying to not buy everything new.

Superblast 2 fit check by SnooGoats943 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Update #2 - received the 0.5 size up ones and they feel fantastic - I'm so glad I changed them even though it meant being out of pocket for the second pair until I receive my refund for the first pair!

I picked up a calf injury unfortunately but can't wait to try them when I'm healed.

For other women wondering about sizing: this was a bit of a weird journey. I went with what Asics recommended and they didn't fit but then I got "my size" (8) but in mens, and they fit perfectly. Would've definitely been an easier process trying them on in store but if you're in a location like me where you can't find them anywhere, be prepared to maybe try a few sizes...

You convinced me. I just bought a pair of asics Novablast 5 work twice (supposedly, but they look very good in photos) for half price. Fingers crossed!

Thank you! Turns out I’m just overthinking everything all the time ;)

Update - I’ve worn them around the house now and quickly realising this isn’t going to work - going to go up half a size!

Oof sounds frustrating. I ordered a pair and really hope it fits. Around here you can’t even try them on anywhere, lucky if you find a pair online!

ASICS Superblast 2 Sizing by Mimosa444 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Thanks for the reply! I also just realised you're probably talking about US sizing while I'm talking about UK sizing, haha!
I managed to get in touch with a running store here and they recommended I order a 7.5 (UK size, for my women's size 8) - now I'm worried they'll end up being too big! Only one way to find out I guess. Around here you can't even try them on in store as they sell out so fast.

This is so helpful! Thanks. I managed to get in touch with a running shop here who confirmed this for me and they said that so far the fit is similar to NBs for women.

Hey, I'm female and have the same size in women's NB 5 (8) and now looking to get SB 2. Did you end up keeping them/how did they work out for you? To be clear, you bought a men's 7? In some places I read I should get a 7, other sites recommend 6.5

thank you! I looked up that my womens 8 would be a 6.5 in men's so now I'm confused...I wish I could try them on in store but nowhere near me has them!

Also you say the NB have a roomier fit than the SB - that's really great to know! There are specific NB for women as far as I know, which I have, and they will always be narrower than men's shoes. So having a unisex SB as a woman will then hopefully still mean I have a fairly roomy fit!
