| Pros | About 70–80% of the Novablast 5 feel · Soft, shock-absorbing foam with some bounce · No fatigue on a half-marathon long run · Very breathable, light upper · Wide forefoot, versatile enough to pick up the pace | The only shoe in the battle with a nylon plate · Energetic and stable · Extremely durable |
| Cons | Outsole visibly worn after about 25 km · Foam likely to last only 300–500 km · Narrow heel can wobble for heel strikers · No firm heel counter, not for flat feet or overpronation | Thick, tight upper |
| Avoid if | You have flat feet or overpronation, or you heel strike with weak ankles. | You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper. |
My verdicts
Cult
Dynex
If you want something like the ASICS Novablast 5 on a budget under ₹2,000, this is the shoe. Expect it to last around 500 km rather than the 600–800 km of an international brand.
Avoid if: You have flat feet or overpronation, or you heel strike with weak ankles.
