Mizuno Women's Wave Inspire 18 Running Shoe, Ultimate Grey/Silver, 10

I frequent the gym 5 days a week and quickly wore out my old shoes. I was nervous at this point to buy online without trying on first but after reading the reviews I gave in. So glad I did! I ordered this one numbered 18 and another of the same brand numbered 25 (I believe). I kept this one the 18 due to the comfort. These were more appropriately sized to my size 8 feet. I’ve had them for over 2 months now and have no complaints. No heels rubbing. No bottom of my feet being sore after a run. And I feel sturdy for weight training days. I didn’t even know the hype of this brand till after my purchase. I’m in love.

I have to say, these are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They look and feel great and are excellent quality. I've always worn the biggest brand but their quality is poor now and they slip on wet surfaces so I thought I'd try these out.I ordered my usual size (6.5 US) despite seeing a couple of reviews advising to order half a size up, but they were too snug. I ordered another pair half a size up and they were the perfect fit. I kept both and stretched out the smaller pair which now fit well but definitely order half a size up from your usual size. Width wise I found them to be wide enough (my feet are 3 1/4 inches at their widest).I use these for running (treadmill) and walking and they do well on both surfaces. They have cushioned insteps and are soft and comfortable while providing adequate support. So far they've maintained a good grip on slippery surfaces, including wet tile.I hope they don't stop making these because I'll definitely be buying them again. Highly recommend.

I have purchased these several times. Any time I try other shoes I always return to these. They are very supportive for my flat feet and have plenty of room in the toe box. Some people complained about the laces but I have never had a problem with them. I will continue to buy these.

I remembered from when I got a fitting 10 years ago when I bought my first pair of the same shoes at a athletic shoe shop in Atlanta that did you run small so I ordered a 9 1/2 when I wear nine.They looked so nice and I took them out for my first jog this morning!The shoe has a lot of cushioning, and I have flat feet and bunions and I felt supported.They’re not light… they’re kind of on the heavier side but I still comfortable. Don’t wear no show socks you may get a blister.Wear low cut crew socks so that the shoe doesn’t rub the back of your achilles tendon above your heel.

Happy to write a review on my favorite “running” shoe that I use for speed walking and everyday wear. Started wearing this brand years ago as a Vet Tech on my feet all day. This shoe can take it and always stays comfortable. Complete support, just awesome. Think these are my 12th pair as I rotate. Great color selection. Just buy them and experience total foot comfort.

I’m having some nasty problems with my feet, and both my podiatrist and physical therapist recommended these to fit my feet. I need a shoe with a slightly narrower heel and Muzano Wave (and Asics) accommodate this the best. These are incredibly comfortable and supportive. My orthotics fit nicely inside. I wear an 8 in a casual shoe and typically an 8.5 in a running shoe. I needed a 9 in these for a good fit. I somehow missed the “these shoes run 1/2 size small” part. Once I sized up, all is good.

I had never heard of Mizuno shoes until my sister came to walk with me and wore this brand of shoe. What drew my attention was that the top of the shoe had fabric that seemed sturdier than the open mesh of most athletic shoes. My toe wears on those and even when the shoe is good the mesh is worn. These are still breathable but better material. They did not need much breaking in. They were very comfortable right away and hold my heels snug. They feel solid and don't let my feet swim around, so good support. The shoe interior is squishy enough to absorb shock. I also like the variety of color choices, even though I choose a gray to go with everything. This may be my go to brand for casual style and walking for exercise. Highly recommend!

We are in our 50s now and husband has really bad knees. He played a lot of sports unprofessionally when he was growing up and prefers to not medicate, and just keep going as far as exercise in general. He ordered the men's Mizuno Inspire 18s first about a year ago.He was running again, and taking longer walks and said it was all thanks to these shoes in men's. He wasn't having the knee pain he was once having and it was thanks to wearing these shoes and absorbing the impact. A year later he ordered me this pair.Wear 8 and he ordered so, and I couldn't be more please. I've upped my miles per month, attributing to a bit of weight lose, better health and no more knee pain. These shoes really absorb the impact. They are taller than most sneakers, but they are made for running. These easily work on light trails, sidewalks and paved roads.We don't wear shoes in the house and the house has carpet. We wear slip on shoes with socks and carpet still has padding and we are not having knee pain in the house either. Husband used to complain about his cowboy boots adding to the pain especially lower back pain too, when he wear them all day. Since the Mizuno Wave Inspire he doesn't wear them anymore and has rid his back pain as well.For the price, even though it seems steep, these are the way to go for everyday use.
