Men's Mizuno Wave Rebellion

I was very excited to find out that Mizuno is finally making a light weight racing shoe to compete with Saucony Nike and others. I have been wearing Mizuno running shoes for well over 15 years ever since I discovered the Wave Rider at Dick's Sporting Goods. Come to find out the reason they fit so well is that they traditionally have a narrow heal and wide toe box. It was not until I had my feet measured with Fleet Feet's 3D scanner that I realized that matches my feet perfectly. About 6 years back I would complete my long runs and races over 10 miles in the Wave Enigma which Mizuno discontinued when they came out with the Wave Sky. I ran over 5000 miles in Wave Sky versions 1 2 and 3. I finally came to the realization that Mizuno had departed from their racing heritage and sold out to the athleisure trend by removing the wave Plate from the Wave Sky version 3. Fortunately I had stocked up on the Wave Sky version 2 but I am on my last pair. I put almost 2000 miles on the previous pair because there was no alternative.Now there is an alternative. I have a little less that 100 miles including a 10 mile race where I recorded a PR on my new Mizuno Wave Rebellion racing shoes. These shoes are definitely faster than anything I have run in before. There are some issues though. The heal does not fit as snug as my other Mizuno Wave shoes. I laced them up with the runners loop (which I have never had to use before) and they were a little better but then the upper collar of the shoe wore on my lateral malleolus (ankle bone) to point where it was bleeding. Mizuno you need to make the heel narrower and the collar lower. Additionally the tongue does not have a loop (tongue lock) for the laces to go through and keep the tongue in place. The tongue on both shoes worked their way down under the laces during my 10 mile race. The tongue bunched up and was a little uncomfortable by the end of the race. I'll be running my first marathon in these shoes this coming weekend. I'll update my post after that.
