Beginner
Recommended for beginners as a daily workhorse. The bouncy energy return keeps the ride lively and never dull; start at 20-40 km per week and build gradually, and the waterproof upper suits new runners in rainy regions.

User Review Summary
The ASICS NOVABLAST 6 GTX is the GORE-TEX waterproof version of the NOVABLAST 6, carrying over the line's signature trampoline-style midsole and bouncy, lively ride while adding a GORE-TEX waterproof mesh upper for rain and wet roads. It weighs 288g with an 8mm drop, uses FF BLAST MAX foam, and runs on durable AHAR rubber. Positioned as a neutral daily trainer with no carbon plate and a distinctly bouncy character, it suits tempo runs, recovery jogs and everyday mileage. The waterproof build keeps it dependable in wet weather, at the cost of slightly less breathability than the non-GTX model.
