Very disappointed,Squeeking Constantly-Novablast 6
1/5
Overall
Very disappointed with the Novablast 6 — extremely loud squeaking I was really excited to purchase the ASICS Novablast 6. This was actually my first pair of ASICS running shoes, and I specifically pre-ordered the latest model because I expected a high-quality shoe from a well-known running brand. Unfortunately, the shoes have been squeaking loudly every time I walk in them since I received them. I have been wearing running shoes for work for more than 14 years and have owned 20+ pairs from different brands. I understand that some shoes can occasionally squeak on certain types of flooring, so I initially assumed that might be the case. However, this is completely different. I have tried the Novablast 6 on multiple types of flooring, and the squeaking is still extremely loud. It is loud enough that people can hear me coming from a distance. I contacted ASICS to file a warranty claim, but my claim was rejected and the issue was blamed on the flooring. I have already tested the shoes on different surfaces, and the problem persists. At this point, I am stuck with an expensive pair of shoes that I am embarrassed to wear in public and cannot comfortably use for work. That is especially frustrating because I purchased them specifically expecting to be able to use them as reliable running/work shoes. I am very disappointed with both the product and how this issue was handled. I expected better from ASICS, especially with a brand-new, latest-model shoe that I had to pre-order. I am currently pursuing the matter further through the Better Business Bureau and other appropriate consumer-protection channels because I do not believe this issue was adequately addressed.
