Mizuno Wave Inspire 5 (W)

Posted: 15/08/09

'BEST SHOE SO FAR.'

Strengths:
Very comfortable and excellent fit. So light you hardly know you are wearing them.

Weaknesses:
Very poor quality insole. I have replaced them with a 'Noene' inserts which are excellent.

Overall:
These are the best shoes I have ever had. A great improvement on the Inspire 4 which I could not get on with. The fit is superb.

Excellent cushioning.

Overall:
Delighted my running shop suggested I tried these. I feel very safe in them. Super for grumbling knees and other aches etc which one gets with advancing years.

Mizuno Wave Inspire 4

Posted: 17/03/08

'NOT FOR ME!'

Overall:
This shoe has a completely different fit from the Inspire 1 and 3. The heel fit is very poor for me and the tongue is far too short. Unable to adjust the laces to a comfortable fit at all. The Inspire 3 was a perfect shoe in every way for me.

'EXCELLENT SHOE FOR ME.'

Strengths:
Super fit especially round the heel. Comfortable and kind to the knees.

Weaknesses:
None found so far.

Overall:
Delighted that the shop persuaded me to try them.

[Update 19/03/07] Just to add, I changed from a 'lightweight' shoe to this one. I don't find it any heavier, probably because it fits so well. I weigh 9st and am over 60!
