@@davidrogers7787 yes. I bought two pairs of shorts from there. I’ve shown them off in another Nike video I have up on the channel.

@@TheEternalEast definitely get these. The toe has a little more of a roll to it meaning you can probably move slightly faster and more nimble in these than the NOVABLAST 4.

@@mirmohsanalitalpur5884 I don’t think it is padded enough in the front, your toes would probably start to hurt. If you’re only doing thirty minute runs in these, maybe okay. If you’re doing long runs and are a forefoot striker, I’d look for something else.

@@RunningInJapan @RunningInJapan Yes Same things happens in my peg 40. Please give me option for long run shoe for 1 hour run

Nimbus 25 or any other shoes please advise for forefoot striker?

@@snowwalker9999 sold out. I’d recommend checking the ASICS website periodically, or use eBay or Mercari (and a handling service).

@@snowwalker9999 I’ll definitely have a look at those. Thanks for sharing.

A true-to-size Novablast 4 was just too small for me. I'm not sure you're prepared to look at ugly toes, but I've made a video about how they gave me runners toe: ruclips.net/video/ivM0y6LTNLM/видео.html I'm still recovering from that 2 1/2 months on. I'd rather have a shoe be too big than too small. I don't trust "snug" because feet expand when running (feet expand from just walking around all day too), you need room to literally grow into while on the run. This is from ASICS own website per them: "The further you run the more your foot will naturally expand. This means it's wise to have just a little extra room (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. With this in mind, your running shoe should be around a half size larger than the shoe size you usually get." My best recommendation is this. If you're buying shoes out of a brick and mortar store, naturally try them on before you buy. If ordering online, you should definitely order two pairs, one in the size you think you wear and one size up. Try them on at home and send back the one which was more ill-fitted. You can only try them on and walk around the house in them, because once you take them out for a single run, no matter how short, you won't be able to return them. So it's very important to get it right. It was a freak accident how I got it wrong with the Novablast 4. You'd just have to watch the video.

@@RunningInJapan Thabk you very much. I’ll heed that advice.

@@Randmness Ooo, you’re a hard sell. You’ve never tried the Novablast 4 in which the consensus is they’re slightly better than the 3. But you’ve tried the Superblast, which is better than the Novablast 3 & 4, but you didn’t like it. The thing is with all the shoes I’ve named, they’re made to be all-around, do-it-all shoes. Sounds like you’re better off with multiple shoes for dedicated purposes: one for speed, one for long run comfort, one for race day, etc.

Respect. It is a small world, and if not for you guys coming through, I would never have been inspired to run again. I need to do a whole video about that (I need to rewatch this one to see what I said in it).

I'm sorry to hear that. Just keep checking back on the website periodically about every half a month. They'll come back in eventually. I think they know these shoes are a cash cow for them. They'll put out more.

Thank you sir. ASICS Superblast 2 review is currently uploading as we speak, with me editing the video thumbnail now.

@@AWright300 UK 12 is Japan 30.5 cm at ASICS. I wish him luck and hope they’re not sold out. That’s actually a pretty big shoe size so he may luck up in getting a pair.

@@imanloxs7667 100% up size. If you don’t, you’ll be asking for trouble. Believe me when I say that.

@@RunningInJapan Depends on your feet. You absolutely cannot generalize that!

@@philipppuchner1115 but can’t I though? If I’ve been wearing one size across brands in sports shoes for over thirty years and now after thirty years they are too small, especially with the expansion of feet from running, logic is telling me I can generalize that for the most part. It’s just advice and my recommendation is all it is. You can take it or don’t, like food. But I don’t want to hear a single person come crying to me in the comments talking about, “They’re too small!”

​@@RunningInJapan No ;) I have a way longer right foot which is EU 45,5 or, if translated from UK/US/Whatever sizes, between EU 45 (rounded down) and EU 46 (rounded up). In an old pair of Asics GT-2000 (i think #4) the EU 45 was definately(!) too small and the EU 46 was it, but also subjectively just barely. Fast forward centuries, had run maybe a few times a year with newer GT-2000 (#9 i think) EU 46, I have the Novablast 4 TR. In EU 46, just because. Also Noosa Tri 15 in EU 45. Also a new pair of Novablast 2 from a second hand platform (but new! unused!) in EU 46 per chance and that also fit. After then trying on the Kayano Lite 3, Superblast, Nimbus 26 in EU 45 and EU 46, I went for the smaller EU 45! I HATE swimming in the shoes, "boats"! I have very low volume feet, at most medium width and a very low volume heel, therefore in climbing shoes, I always have to go half size smaller to get a good fit. My feet are for like La Sportiva climbing shoes - without the often way too fat heels. My point i want to come to: Way too many people with broader feet get into narrower shoes and then take them way too large. The shoes are just too narrow for them, not too small (in size and length). Surely, in climbing shoes that could be extreme; in runnig shoes, which are all more or less unisex and have much volume, to fit the most amount of feet possible, to sell as many pairs of shoes as possible, it is not that extreme. Asics is known somehow to fit a little narrow. For me, they are fat boats! But probably out there are enough people with broader feet than the regular Asics model are constructed for and would need a wide version, but go for the normal and take it larger. I HATE it when you cannot do even simple sidesteps or something because the fking shoes are soo big. So, no, you cannot generalize it going up. YOU may, someone else may, but for sure not the majority of people. I am for sure not the only exception ;) Of course, it your honest feedback and this deserves absolute appreciation, but if sometone hears you hve to size up, then orders the shoe in that size (instead of trying it on in the store or ordering multiple pairs), he or she ends up with a too large pair. I've came across a few of those people seeling their running shoes on second hand plattforms because they were told to size up and wer unhappy, had different types of "problems", were fed up with the shoe and sold them. And that's not how it should be. Same as sizing climbing shoes: NO one should give general(!) recommendations, because every foot fits differently in every shoe, everyone climbs different stuff and different difficulties, etc. One could just give your own example, but just as an example (xyz works for me, but that may not be the case for many others, especially YOU, young fella) and not as a generalization. Sure, if many testers, people, etc have the feeling that the shoe is small or large, it has more weight. But until now, I just came across tests which say tts (true to size). Never have i seen, read, or heard to go up in size in asics runnig shoes. What I have read is, that in the past, Asics runnign shoes fit smaller, that THEN, tts was often too small and you had to go up half a size. That would explain how my GT-2000 #4 were too small in EU45 - half size up in EU 46 they fit but barely, and now, every single Asics running shoe in EU 46 fit bigger, larger, longer and in EU 45 they fit, but I am really at the fron with my fat big toe. But otherwise I would swin in those fking boats :) To you: When you say trhat your feet grew over time, then you probably don't have the same shoe size any more, maybe your feet are now a half a size bigger, larger, etc :) The someonecrying: Never have I read an comment to all the other tests (which say tts for THEM) that the shoe fit too small. So, if you don't try on the shoes and then buy what fits best for you, the utmost stupidest thing one could ever do is search for a RUclips which says the shoe fitted them smaller and cry in the comments about it :) For me: no upsizing in Asics running shoes, also in many other tests and testers, therefore no general advice for upsizing possible :)

It sucks when I write a really long and nice reply, and instead of hitting the "reply" button, I accidentally hit "cancel." I'll try this again then. Thank you. You may have made a better purchasing decision than me by buying something half the price. You can't go wrong in this day and age with much of anything when it comes to smartwatches. I only use my watch for runs, sleep, and occasionally to find my phone or other Apple-tagged devices. People may be wondering why I even bought the thing then. The reason I bought an Apple Watch Series 9 45mm is because if I ever wanted to sell it, they're easy to get out of. If I ever want to use it for much more than just running, it has much more functionality waiting for me. For an iPhone, it's the best you can get in all regards. It may not be the best for just running, but it's definitely adequate.

For anyone who's not a resident, yes, please take note of that. Unfortunately, that's not the case for me because I live here.

@@RunningInJapan Hey man, not quite true. I lived and worked in Japan for years, with a Gaijin card and everything, and I shopped in that same store and got the discount during that time. I just showed my passport to the person at checkout, and they never asked if I was actually living there or not. Once a foreigner, always a foreigner when it comes to Japan! Try it next time 🙂

@@davidrogers7787 I suppose I could do that, but that's not really being honest with them. I'm not trying to sound high and mighty by not doing that and taking advantage, but my integrity means a lot to me, I'm not going to start doing that.

It holds for all distances/durations of runs.

It's just there for no real reason. I have no place to put it. I'm a Japanese whisky specialist and writer. I have no more cupboard space, and when I tend to drink something, I happen to leave it out for a long time on those two shelves either side of me in my office. instagram.com/gentlemansclubwhisky/

Same here!
