Comfortable and good support.

Perfect fit for my long narrow feet
Mizuno Wave is the best shoe for those with long narrow feet. They are so comfortable. I wear a size 11, triple A and the shoe is snug without being too tight. The only suggestion is to have lighter laces so there is contrast with the blue tongue.

First Time I’ve Ever Had to Return Mizunos
I’ve been running with Mizuno Wave Inspires for 13 years and this is the first time I’ve ever had to return a pair. The 21 model has a wicked high heel tab that caused irritation and pain in the top of my Achilles. I don’t know why they changed the design so drastically but it felt noticeably different. I will say that the fit of the actual shoe is exactly as expected and the color was vibrant and pretty though.

Always a great comfortable shoe

Just what I needed
I don’t run a lot, but needed a good “stability” shoe for the different exercises I do. These feel stable for the walking lunges, ploys, squats, etc that I do during my workouts

Super Comfy and Supportive!
I had a previous model of this shoe and loved it, so naturally when I wore the soles of those out, I got these. They are even better than my last ones. I got the light green ones with navy laces. I get tons of compliments on them. I’m a slow runner (aka a “walker”), but I walk A LOT and am over 65 years old, so fit, comfort, and support mean so much.
