    Great shoe for those who want a little more of a “kick” from their daily trainers. They feel snappy and fast yet cushioned. Great for long runs as well. I would consider sizing up 1/2 a size though, glad I did. 

  • Switched for durability, firm ride & wearing well

    20 miles per week, neutral pronator, low arches

    Switched from Clifton's which i love, but only last 250-300 miles. So far definitely wearing a lot better. Not quite the comfort of the Clifton's but significantly better durability

    Every time I need new shoes, I try other brands and models, but I always come back to this one. It does its job well, and I find it to be the most comfortable. It isn't cushy right out of the box like some others, but I like a firmer feel, and it retains its cushioning longer than the other shoes I've tried.

  • My fave shoe.

    When I first started running, about twelve years ago, I was introduced to the Wave Inspire. I have since worn many different shoes and liked most of them, but I always keep the Inspire in my rotation because I always enjoy running in it. It is particularly good as a daily trainer or for long easy runs. It is just so comfortable for me that I forget I'm wearing it. It's not especially light or fast, but is nicely cushioned. It doesn't have one of the new "super" foams, but Mizuno updates it enough that it never feels outdated.
