How to choose your footwear:
1. Measure your feet (in the evening, or when they might be swollen).
- length & width - take an A4 sheet of paper, your both feet by turn... the heel touching a flat vertical surface like a wall
for example draw a ruff contur to get your footprint size and measure with a metric tape. Search in YT videos.
- arch height over the metatarsal bones and over the instep bones - with a metric tape (optional).
Be sure to keep the bigger numbers from both feet: i.e left has 25.7 and right has 26.3... we keep 26.3 value and so on.
Or try a Brannock device in any specialized running sneakers store to give you a clue of your size.
2. Choose the way that you are going to use them: asphalt, mountain, field, forest, combined. They can be more
rugged or "less aggressive". Running in park it won't be the same as in a forest
(rocks, pieces of wood, dirt etc). You will need running sneakers or trail sneakers...
3. Take a scale and find out your weight (they are 3 categories here):
- 65 - 75 kg (143.3 - 165.3lbs). You are lightweight, so the cushioning is NOT as much need it like for someone with a
bigger weight (except maybe if you do recovery for any reason or you just enjoy it that way)
- 75 - 85 kg (165.3 - 187.4lbs). You should start consider thicker midsoles to avoid future injuries.
- over 85 kg/ 187.4lbs (over that weight). You should search a sneaker that can help your feet to "swallow your weight",
otherwise your knees, hip, back etc. will start to give some pain after a while of use.
4. Count the number of km or miles/week: doing 100km (62 miles)/week or 30 minutes of daily walking is not the
same. Here consider the type of rubber in the sole and its thickness
5. Know your footprint (study the sole of your used shoes) and also look at your plant if you have calluses and where...
If you have them, something is wrong with your shoes (better see a podiatrist).
6. Try to know your ideal size and "the last" (this is more suitable for dress shoes and boots):
Insert your foot and push until you can touch the inside of the front part and insert your index/little finger without
effort or take out the insole and make sure that you have about 5-8 mm left over of the longest toe you have.Also look
at the contour of the foot that is not much above the insole... The maximum width of your footprint should be around
10mm in my opinion, otherwise we will have injuries over time with pressure points
7. When to go and buy your sneakers: At the end of the day (i.e 8PM or after finishing doing a shift), the foot will be
swollen and then you can add 5-8mm to have adequate comfort "over the swollen feet"! - Навчання та стиль

Good and detailed review of asics shoes
Thank you!
The midsole on the Novablast is softer. But the superblast has better energy return. Balanced cuchioning and less energy loss is the key. Uses FF turbo, far superior to the FF Blast plus, at least from the point of view of those who want performance. Novablast 3 after some miles looses energy.
Novablst it is softer, I'm agree with that. Superblast I did said is more rigid the midsole than the Novablast, although the upper is very thin and the lining seems a bit fragile in Superblast than Novablast.
It all depends of your weight and the kind of use you are planning with them...
the NB 1080 is too tight on the top of my foot, will this model be better?
I didn't had problems with either of them. Asics it does have little more room in the toe box (check 20:45), but I can't promise you they will fit perfect to you.
How is Superblast compared to other Asics running shoes in size?
For me all the Asics shoes that I've tried so far on this channel they had been true to size (ES 41.5 or 8 US), although don't like to wear them tight on my feet. I also started to measure the insoles/soles in all my videos for at least the past +6 months or so and you can check the timestamps to see what size they have the insoles in order to better understand the sizing in a particular model that you are interested.
I.E Superblast (Ep110, 10:22 & 11:30) = Novablast 3 TR (Ep103, 10:20 & 11:24) for MY feet with my arch/instep they are both true to size.
I hope this helps you somehow!
@@EasyLifeES So I understand that Superblast and Novablast3 are same in size?
@@kyosunlee Yes, that's right.
For me they were the same. Visually and physically Superblast are bigger in size (bulkier), but the interior gives the same size basically, so both are true to size.
those holes in sole are gonna collect pebbles 😆 stingy asics
That be sure! :)
