Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

I have extremely wide feet and generally have trouble finding a stability shoe that fits. I have found that widths normally come in neutral shoes, so I have always had to buy a neutral shoe plus a custom insole, which can get expensive. I'm really glad Mizuno added the wide size (D) to this stability shoe - the Wave Inpire 9. The support in the footpad is great and I couldn't be happier with my shoes!

Awesome to be fitted properly:)

These shoes are great! Ran a 10k race right out of the box and no problems! My feet are wide and I tend to have a problem with shoes, however these are comfortable.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

Important note: I use generic orthodics in all my shoes, so my review is based on this shoe with my own insert. However, this is currently the ONLY stability shoe that fits my feet and works well with my insert. I run 5+ hilly road miles per day in a warm climate. Incredible cushion and spring. While some shoes feel like dead weight, this shoe is a joy.

I have been Mizunos fan in the past but this update is awful! I have shin splints, my whole run and my legs feel heavy and tired. I am very disappointed that they made the change. I will be returning the shoes, stop updating the shoes.

I ran a training half marathon with great and fast results. No blisters, no rubbing whatsoever. They were super comfortable and there's a lot of cushioning. The following week I ran a 10 mile race with a personal record. As always Mizuno rocks!

Feels like running barefoot, in a great comfy way.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

Love the fit and feel of the shoe. They feel light and were comfortable from the minute I put them on. I use them for running and for boot camp and they are great! Definately recommend them. I switched the laces out to match the soles and I like the look :)

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

I purchased these shoes a week ago and put on 25 miles before wearing them for a half marathon yesterday. I typically get lots of toe blisters and other blisters on my feet when I run, with any shoe (including Brooks Trance and Asics Keauno). While I did get blisters yesterday, they were minimal considering the hot day. If these shoes hold up long term, I'll be getting another pair. I'm a mild pronator and need some stability/support and I really appreciate the meshy top of the shoe (helps foot stay cool) and how light the shoe is. A few of my running friends wear this brand of shoe and noted that the shoes wear out faster than other brands. It's too soon for me to know, but it's a chance I'll take for the comfort and reasonable price given the technology of the shoe. I'm between sizes so I went with the larger size based on how these fit.

Very disappointed when I got these shoes. I've always bought 7.5D in my running shoes. These seem very short. It may be that the toe box is extremely narrow. Will be returning these. Disappointed that previous reviews didn't address this.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

Fantastic shoe. I needed a lightweight shoe that provided some stability to control my over pronation and would fit my Superfeet orthotic without being super bulky. Asics and Saucony were alright, but my foot shifted side to side in the toe box (even with the orthotic in)-- apparently I have a narrower foot. These Mizunos fit like a glove! I wore out my Mizuno Elixirs and now with plantar fasciitis, I needed more stability and an orthotic. Both my feet and I are happy! (The neon blue, green and pink are great too!)

Love these shoes!!! I have been looking for lightweight, wide width, stability shoes and I've found them! Just went on an 8-mile run. Feet felt great. These may be my new faves!

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

Purchased these as a change from my Brooks Adrenaline, but have to return, as after 10 minutes running on the treadmill my feet were burning. They felt a bit snug initially out of the box, but I thought they might loosen up after a few workouts. These are going back!

Shipped later than expected, but these were a pre-order. Once they actually shipped, i recieved in record time.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

Great shoes! So glad I went back to Mizunos Inspire! Tried Asics GT2000 and noosa and never had all stability and support this shoe has. Nice colors, I receive tons of compliments. Roomy for toes, achiles cushioning, my feet feel happy in the running, walking and in the gym for body combat. Thanks Mizuno!

Love RRs!!!

Great running shoe. Able to run long right from the box. No break in period. I highly recommend this shoe for any run distance.

I've tried and returned many pairs of shoes before finally finding one that work.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

I usually buy new tennis shoes and hate them the following week...probably because I pick them myself! The nice people at the Roadrunner in Carlsbad, CA helped fit myself and my husband with custom insoles and great shoes! Found out I definitely have a high arch, that I overpronate, that my feet are WIDE, among other things. I have stayed away from stability shoes because I hate how thick the material is around the ankle and in the tongue. I felt like my ankles and feet were being smothered! This particular Mizuno Wave Inspire is a perfect fit! The only thick portion is right at the back of my heel and feels like support rather than suffocation! I wear these shoes every morning to workout and find myself putting them back on after my shower often because they are the most comfortable shoe I own now! Another perk is that they are cute!

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

Really like the shoe - much less knee pain. This particular version feels narrow - I normally wear an AA shoe, but still very comfortable. Just had to loosen the laces way more than any shoe I've had prior.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

These shoes are good for the average to narrow width feet. I like the stability in my heel and back of my foot.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 Running Shoe:

I am an avid athlete and run 3-4 times a week. These running shoes are the best ones I have bought yet. They are super comfortable, supportive, light weight, and above all super stylish. I have only been running in them for a month so I hope they continue to provide the support but for now I am psyched about them!! :)
