How many miles were you able to get out of these shoes? I have about 300 miles on my first pair (6's) and they are close to shot. I usually can get 400 to 450 out of most shoes. Is this pretty common with the Precisions or Mizuno's in general? This is my first time in this brand.
Gracias.
I bought a pair a couple of months ago and they seem to be wearing normally. I usually get 500+ miles on most shoes.
The mizuno wave precision is a lightweight trainer with a lower midsole and it is not going to last as long as the mizuno wave creation which has more of a midsole and the wave cushioning is inhanced on this shoe. i recomend you move up to the creation. it will get you more miles.
I have 800 miles on mine right now and they are still holding up. If light weight trainers are right for you I don't think you should pound them down quickly. I focus on running light and quick with every step. All my shoes wear down in the upper before they ever feel pounded out through the midsole. Side note: I used to have to wear NB 991s with orthotics (no longer need these either) about 6 years ago because of foot problems. After focusing on toe curls, toes spreads, and picking things up with my toes I feel comfortable in neutral light weight shoes. So much nicer!
Mizunos are by far the best fitting running shoes I have found. I have several pairs of Mizunos (the Mavericks were my favorites) and they all seem to wearout fairly quick. I think the most I have ever gotten out of a pair is about 400 miles. I'm not a super skinny runner though (about 175-180 lbs.) so that probably has something to do with it.
precision is the best shoe ever (for me anyway), but i only get about 300 miles out of a pair.

Dude, how many miles a week do you run? How many miles per run? You "focus on running light and quick with every step"- what the hell is that? Are you running 8 minute miles, where you can spend time thinking about this?? I'm assuming you are just doing some easier mileage. No offense intended, just curious to hear what type of training you are doing with this mindset...
Mine (1st pair) are at around 450 miles. They look on track to reach 700 miles before I replace them, just like the 11 pairs of Wave Riders that preceded them. I really like the shoe; same general fit as the Rider but a bit lighter. Only problem is the small holes in the front of the sole pick up rocks quite often.
