I'm wanting to buy another pair of Mizuno Wave Elixir 6 as they seem to suit me so well.

I have rung around the running shops,looked everywhere on the internet/ebay etc but no luck.The Elixir 7 is now out but I dont know if they will suit me as well plus they are a lot more money so was really hoping to find another pair of Elixir 6

Does anyone know whwere i might find a pair of Elixir 6 size 7.5(ladies)

and how does the Elixir 7 compare to the 6?

any help appreciated

I assume you've tried Amazon for the 6?  Also, try Amazon.co.jp (Japan - where the Elixir is called Maverick).

The Elixir 7 is just an upper update - basically the same midsole as the 6, but with the addition of Mizuno's flex controllers.  Upper is a bit lower profile and sleeker, following the same trend as Inspire 8 and Nirvana 8.

 Here's a summary:

I'm a committed elixir runner- god knows how many pairs I've been through since 2008!
I was v fond of the elixir 6- and sweatshop usually will order them in for me although don't usually stock them- alas no more left in 6.5 even trawling through various Internet sites
So ive started with the 7- and cant say they feel any different to me- yeah! ( can't say I like the colour!)

Many thanks for your help.Still searching for another pair of Elixir 6. Rang sweatshop but they unable to get a pair.have looked all over internet etc.Cant believe how difficult to find a pair,are they a really popular shoe or did mizuno just not make many of them?-annoying when you can find any number of Inspire 7's

Will take a look at the Elixir 7,the reviews seem favourable,and hopefully they will will be a very close match and my feet will not notice the difference.Cheapest price i've seen at the mo is £85so hoping they will come down in price a bit.Love the colour too, a rather fetching purple striped affair
