Since high school, I&#8217;ve been clocking in miles and speed training on &#8220;sprint Thursdays.&#8221; But no matter how much R&amp;R I get, my shin splint pain always finds a way to creep up during high-impact exercises, leaving my shin muscles and bone tissues feeling tender and sore.<\/p>\n<p>When my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-stop-shin-splints\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-stop-shin-splints\/\">shin splint pain<\/a> first began in high school due to improper footwear, my cross country coach said that a supportive pair of kicks couldn&#8217;t be overstated and gifted me a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/asics-gel-sneakers\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/asics-gel-sneakers\/\">Asics<\/a> to pound the pavement with. He said that Asics designed some of the best kicks for long-distance running, and his advice sticks with me to this day. After running in dozens of shoes and testing more than 10 brands over the years, he couldn&#8217;t have been more right.

While the 3LEs are primarily intended for running, I&#8217;ve found them to offer unparalleled comfort and support during walks, sprints, and upper body lifts. From the moment I put them on, I was captivated by the brand&#8217;s proprietary FF-Blast cushioning. Constructed out of foam, the shoe delivers a bouncy and responsive ride that injects energy back into each step, making workouts feel effortless. The cushioning is emphasized throughout the shoe, but especially on the forefoot; it feels like there&#8217;s a pocket of air beneath my feet. As a forefoot runner, I prefer to run on the upper part of my feet, so these kicks provide the perfect blend of cushioning and shock absorption. After six to eight sprints, my shins don&#8217;t feel numb, and I can continue walking and doing other activities like stretches and core sans aches and pains. Shin splint pain is basically non-existent with this pair.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/asics-novablast-3le\/\" current-title=\"I\u2019ve Been Clocking in Miles Without Shin Splint Pain Thanks to These Podiatrist-Approved Kicks\" current-image=\"WG_SHOP_105-Asics-Novablast-3LE-Review.png\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-12-05\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/asics-novablast-3le\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/asics-novablast-3le\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img decoding=\"async\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/asics-novablast-3le\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\" class=\" js-inline-lazy-load\" src=\"\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder podiatrists approve of them. &#8220;Asics running shoes are distinguished by their GEL cushioning system, which offers exceptional shock absorption and comfort,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthgrades.com\/physician\/dr-asim-qureshi-xyncqp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.healthgrades.com\/physician\/dr-asim-qureshi-xyncqp4\">Asim Qureshi, DPM<\/a>, a Chicago-based podiatric surgeon at Michigan Avenue Podiatry, previously tole W+G.<\/p>\n<p>Like other running shoes I&#8217;ve tested, the Asics Novablast 3LE&#8217;s upper is designed of mesh, so it doesn&#8217;t trap heat or keep feet sweaty. More to call out, the shoe is designed with a tongue gusset to prevent it from sliding during movement and has a foam collar to prevent rubbing and irritation in high-friction areas like my Achilles heel area. I&#8217;ve taken these kicks out for a spin during treadmill runs, outdoor walks, sprints, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/12-3-30-treadmill-workout-review\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/12-3-30-treadmill-workout-review\/\">12-3-30 workouts<\/a>, and can attest that this pair kept up with me through it all. Might I add? No shin splint pain afterward. These shoes really are a big deal.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1070751\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1070751\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1070751 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"asics novablast 3le\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_5765-2_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1070751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Author<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>Another major selling point is the shoe&#8217;s thick, trampoline-like sole. The grippy bottoms offer traction on treadmill belts, ellipticals, and the weight room floor. Each step I take is made out of trust because I know that the rigid soles have got me covered. I also have no doubt that they&#8217;d be an asset during outdoor and trail runs.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1070755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1070755\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1070755 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"asics novablast 3le\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_5763-2_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1070755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Author<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What activities are the Asics Novablast 3LE best for?<\/h2>\n<p>The brand recommends the Novablasts 3LE for running, and I agree that these shoes were designed for racking up the miles. However, that&#8217;s not to say you can&#8217;t do other activities. These kicks offer ample cushioning and support for walks, jumping rope, HIIT workouts, and more. Because of this, I&#8217;d recommend these shoes for long-distance runners, people who battle shin splint pain, and walkers.<\/p>\n<h2>Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Shin splints can feel like a chronic condition if not properly taken care of, but these shoes give shin splint prevention a whole new meaning. The air-like and bouncy sole absorbs shock, the midsole offers ample support, and it&#8217;s lightweight, so you don&#8217;t feel like this pair will ever bog you down. Runners and fitness enthusiasts will appreciate having a pair like the Novablast 3LE in their closets because you&#8217;ll get to run without the vexing pain. Since sliding these puppies on my feet, they&#8217;ve made movement more enjoyable and worry-free, and I&#8217;m beyond grateful for that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
