Mizuno Rebellion anyone?

I tried them in a store recently and really liked them. Very comfortable, maybe a little on the firm side, felt fun to run in and good energy return. $180 is a little steep though, I think the Endorphin Speed fills a similar role and those are on sale all over the place.

I'd probably buy a pair if they ever go on sale.

It is a quality shoe. I felt it was firmer than the Endorphin Speed. It is very stable due to the firmness of the foam and the plate. For me, it was not too firm, but if you want soft/squish it may not be the shoe for you. I like the shoe, it feels fast. I do not really have any complaints. It does weigh more that some of the plated race shoes. It does have the super foam. I do wonder if Mizuno will release another 'race' shoe, as there are several areas where they could have reduced the weight, and went for comfort and durability instead. That said, I will likely use the shoe in a marathon at some point. The tongue gets flack from reviewers, but it was not an issue for me at all. It is oversized, but oh well. Is it worth $180? Probably, but there are some good deals on the Saucony models from last year, so I will leave that decision up to you. Is it a faster shoe than the Speed? I cannot definitively say at this point, I have not done enough runs in the Rebellion to make a real comparison.
