None | | Weaknesses:
This is not an evolution of the 5 & 6 it is a different shoe
Narrow fit and smaller toe box than previous versions
Either shorter laces or a differnet lacing pattern as there is very little lace left to tie when using all the eylets
Not comfortable over long distances | | Overall:
Having raced and loved the Inspire 5 & 6, when I needed a new pair of running shoes the Inspire 7s were ordered. From day 1 they never felt comfortably, where the 5&6's fitted from day 1. I had always prefered the Mizuno over adidas and other shoes as they had ample room in the toe box and I never suffered from black toes and other discomfort. However these caused numbness in the ball of my foot over longer distances, caused some Quad discomfort over half marathon distances.
Due to this I went for another shoe fitting to check my gait and they had heard the same complaints fomr a number of people. |

| | | Posted: 24/12/10 | | 'Fabulous shoes - on my second pair and about to buy my third' | | Strengths:
Great support and longevity
More room around the toes compared to others in the same size
Great feel on a variety or surfaces | | Weaknesses:
none experienced | | Overall:
These are fantastic shoes, I rotate them on a regular basis with one or two other pairs when training and running 1/2 marathons.
Have never experienced black toes since the switching to these from adidas as they have more room around the toes.
Have performed well over a variety of surfaces and over half marathon distance my feet have felt good at the end.
Have tried others in the Mizuno range and will definately stick with these. |
