Dynablast 5 (DB5)

I am using Pegasus 39 and Dynablast 5. Which one out of these do you recommend for a half marathon distance?

My NB5 went dead after 120 miles, overhyped shoe in my opinion. It was too soft for me. I prefer my Dynablast 5 which is much cheaper.

ASICS Dynablast 5. Between $89 and $99 everywhere. Basically a novablast 3 with a way better upper. Best deal on a budget running shoe.

A bit firmer. In my opinion the NB 3 was the best of the line. Same sole, same geometry, better tongue and upper on the Dynablast 5.

you would wanna avoid gt series and kayano unless you pronate. Dynablast 5 and Novablast 5 should be your go to options.

good to hear. dynablast 5/novablast 3 are one of the most popular and durable shoes from asics

Just got a pair of Dynablast 5s after 1000 miles on a previous pair of Sauconys. I'm a treadmill-only runner. I'm happy to be back to Asics because I find they hold my feet perfectly. (I often have to wear 2 pairs of socks with other brands) The first two runs definitely felt like the shoe was squishier than I'm used to (like walking on a firm gym mat rather than the floor), but it really didn't have any effect on my run. My only tiny gripe is that I wish the shoes were a touch heavier, but as long as they last it shouldn't matter much.

What's your pace ? I would easily choose the DB5 over Peg39. Just because it's more cushioned and absorbs shock better. But if you're fast and want a responsive lightweight shoe you should go with Peg39. I've done a full marathon in Peg40 and I didn't like it.

ASICS Dynablast 5 Het zijn mijn allereerste hardloopschoenen 😌 sinds maart. Ben er wel blij mee.
