The familiar bouncy Novablast ride remains, but the 6 adds a more energetic forefoot, improved fit and better grip. The 5 is the value choice while clearance sizes last.
Choose the 6 for the livelier push-off, more secure upper and improved wet-weather traction.
Choose the 5 if you already enjoy its energetic neutral ride or want the strongest value for daily training.
