Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

I really love Mizunos but have been dissapointed by their options for widths in a stability shoe. Being a larger guy, I need a wide shoe with solid support. I was extremely happy when my shoe fit expert told me about the Wave Inpire 9s coming in 2E (wide). These shoes are extremely comfortable and fit great. I have not had any knee pain (which is an issue of mine) since buying these shoes. Keep up the good work Mizuno!

After trying just about all running shoe brands I finally found one that doesn't hurt!! I bought a half size up and the ride is awesome After the disney marathon I had so many blisters and decided to try the MIZUNO wave inspire 9. Now I wouldn't run in anything else.

Have 35 miles in them so far and they are great, only positive things to say. Very light and fast for a full stability shoe. I have not done a long run in them yet (12+ miles), but have two 8 mile runs in them and they performed well. They feel very light through the run and make me want to speed it. Have been using Asics GT series for 2 and 1/2 years (and have used many other stability shoes, Saucony, Brooks, etc.), and have approx 200 miles on latest version GT-2000 and wouldn't go back to them, wish I had tried the Inspire 9s earlier this year. I am interested is seeing how the Inspire's do for a longer run 12, 15 miles +. Would prefer to rate 4 1/2 stars until I get a long in, but will go with 5 for now.

I was having some discomfort with another shoe when I ramped mileage up for a local marathon. This shoe saved me.

Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

Love these shoes. Was skeptical coming from the Wave Nirvana but this is a grIat pair of shoes! Great stability and cushioning. Very lightweight and good looking. i had to get a wide width because the regular size 10 was a bit narrow. But that's my only complaint. So, if you liked the discontinued Wave Nirvana, give these a go!

I am relatively new to triathlon and now run 6 days a week running about 40 miles a week. I'm a large, middle-age man that needs a durable stability shoe like the Inspire. I first bought a pair of Brooks Adrenaline and the Mizuno Inspire. When it came to get new shoes again I went with the Mizuno because of it's comfort and durablity. the 2013 models have some spiffy colors too!

None so far

I have tried many shoes and many brands and this is the first shoe I have ever worn that feels so freaking awesome. Over 150 miles on the first pair so I bought a second pair to rotate in. The new Lime Punch color is sick....it looks like glow in the dark..in the light.

BTW - I should give RoadRunner kudos for switching out the Brooks Ravenna 3's that were not working.

I went from a neutral shoe (Pegasus) to this shoe and was worried about the effect. I run about 50 mi /wk, even up here in Canada with temperatures down to -25C + snow. These shoes perform flawlessly. I've tried many other brands (Asics, Adidas, New Balance, Nike), but these Mizunos are far above the rest in my opinion. Will be buying many more pairs in the future.

I use the specially molded inserts that Roadrunner put in these Mizuno's. Couldn't ask for a better set-up. My Plantar Fascia has gone away. I also do not have to fiddle with the laces as the shoe fits my mid-foot very well.

This shoe is the first shoe I have had that fits the way it should will continue to buy my shoes from road runner sports!

Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

These shoes are the best I have ever owned, I use them for running track in school and walking, they're super comfortable and lightweight.

Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

I decided to change from Brooks. I tried a Pearl Izumi and sent it back. I did a lot more research and decided on these. First run was great. No issues and very comfortable. Probably the best shoes I have ever run in. I mainly run 5K and 10K. Treadmill and roads. There was no break in time needed.

Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

My podiatrist recommended this shoe after a bout with PF. Had one run of 4 miles. I think Im ready to accept the reality that as a large runner I need more shoe. Minimalist shoes and Nikes might be too soft for me. These shoes seem to be made for me. I hope my positive experience with this shoe continues.

Comments about Mens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

I've been running in the Adrenaline for the past five years. Trying new model (13), it felt over- cushioned, over-controlling to me. I ordered the Inspire 9 and absolutly love it. I always laugh when a shoe ad says "just enough stability", but the Inspire fits that description. Good moderate stability, lightweight, responsive. One of the best shoes I have after over 20 years of running. Hats off to Mizuno!

These shoes were great out of the box! I am 6' 2" and weigh 210. I came in prepared to buy these when an employee greeted me and asked if I had already gone through the Shoe Dog test. I was glad I did so as I was able to try on different shoes but came back to this one. The techs at RRS recommended the custom insole as well. I have never bought custom insoles but what a difference in the ride, even in my old pair of Kayano's. I went in to buy a pair of running shoes and walked out with my Christmas gifts. Thank you RRS team! I love the ringing of the bell after my purchase!

you can run in them right out of the box. they are light and durable. Put a few runs on them and no complaints.

I have only had this shoe for a few days and did 2 runs. These trainers are great right out of the box. Ran a fast 2 miles outside and they were stable both on the road and off. did 7 miles on a tradmill and they handled perfect.
