| Pros | Stable, cushioned FF Blast Plus with energy return · Moderate, non-intrusive 3D Guidance support · Wide, stable platform · Thick, durable outsole · Excellent value at ₹5,000–6,500 | Soft, very bouncy FF Blast Max ride · Light, breathable upper fixes the Novablast 4's issue · Versatile from 4:00 to 6:30/km · Wide base adds stability · No issues in 100+ km of testing |
| Cons | Snug, narrow forefoot, size up half · Below-average traction on wet surfaces · Not for speed sessions · Not enough for heavy runners or severe overpronators | Not for beginners or runners slower than 6:30/km · Wet grip only above average · Bouncy foam won't last as long as the Novablast 4's |
| Avoid if | You weigh over 85 kg or overpronate heavily; the Kayano 31 is the better choice. | You are a beginner or regularly run slower than about 6:30/km. |
