Mizuno Wave Precision 10

The Precision has been one of Mizuno's most popular shoes in recent years, with neutral runners hailing the level of cushioning for a such a relatively light shoe. Consequently this season's shoe update has barely been touched,

with a more breathable mesh upper and Ortholite sockliner the only additions.

This light and fast shoe has the lowest midsole height of all the shoes in our Autumn Shoe Guide 2009. This makes it firm, especially in the heel, yet it's still remarkably flexible – in fact, it is one of the most flexible shoes on test. Our wear-testers say:

"They felt fast, light and the snug

fit makes all the difference." -
