Women's Mizuno Wave Elixir 8

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Elixir 8 Running Shoe:

I adored these from the very first run. I've been rotating through three pairs of running shoes for a coupe years, and my faves - the predecessors to these - were completely shot. I was bummed when I saw the color choices.... I like loud colors, but these are LOUD. I got them and another set of mizunos, tried them once, and it wasn't even a question. They are super light ad springy. Made me run 8 miles right out of the gate, even though I was just "testing" them. I'm actually more of a neutral runner, so I find myself supinating just a bit in these, but they're so amazing I still feel great. Plus, the color is actually a bonus. If you're going to wear ridiculous shoes, you'd better run fast.... And they definitely help you do that.

These shoes are so awesome! They are lightweight yet they have a perfect amount of cushion. I use them for my long run days and my races. I had the Wave Elixer 7's and those were needing to be replaced. The new Elixer 8's are even better!! I think they are true to size. I always order a 1/2 size up from my regular shoe size and they are perfect. (Make room for swelling) Fun colors and wonderful comfort. I am training for my first marathon and they are still nice and comfy with the long distance training I am doing. Can't say enough good things about them!!!!!

Not quite enough room in the toe so these are going back - I'm afraid to order even a half size larger though, these fit complete differently than my last pair of Mizunos.

I bought these shoes so I can start training for a half marathon. I wanted something light and bright in color so it keeps me uplifted when I start getting tired! I bought custom insole from foot balance and after running 3 1/2 miles I was so happy that my feet weren't bothering me!! I have plantar fasciitis on my right foot and that wasn't bothering me after my run!!

I have been wearing the Wave Elixir for six editions. Of all of them, the Wave Elixir 8 is my favorite. They are lightweight and fast. I wear them for my marathon training and races. For such a light shoe, they are pretty durable, and seem to hold up a lot better than other shoes I have tried. Not that I guy my shoes for what they look like, but the color scheme for this shoe is pretty fun! You won't be able to miss me with these on!

I love this shoe! I can't say enough good things. I had the previous model (which I also love, and which IMO has a much better design and color -- but not a huge deal). The shoe is roomy and so light. It accomodates my orthotics. I do pronate quite a bit and always had to go w/ heavy, motion control shoes. This shoe feels like I'm almost wearing nothing and still offers support. love love LOVE!
