Andrew Smith 90
Reviewed: 13 January 2010
Love this shoe. Ditched Asics 2140 in favour of the Mizuno Alchemy. The latest version feels lighter.
My first shoe was an Alchemy 8 and I had no complaints, I have to say the new Alchemy 9 is even better as it feels a little lighter.
Great all round stability, especially on the heel which makes off-road running a real possibility too in drier conditions.
Although good practice says replace your shoes after 500 milestones the fact is the upper doesn't deteriorate at all and the sole holds up well too. So the other advantage you have if you do replace your shoes religiously you have a decent shoe for the gym which will last you another year, at least!
