I love this shoe! I have narrow, bone feet with little padding on the bottom, so finding the right athletic shoe has always been an issue. This shoe is great. The narrow width fits snugly around my foot. The shoes are wonderfully lightweight, and they look great, too. They have a feminine but edginess to them. I normally wear a size 8.5 in pumps, but ended up going to a size 10 in this shoe. It is well worth the effort. Zappos couldn't have been nicer about the exchanges.

These shoes are dangerous for the joints. I am an avid jogger and I bought these shoes to the detriment of my health. They have absolutely no give when you jog with them. I started noticing issues the first week I had these shoes. My issues were epitomized one day, in week two or so, when I suddenly felt like I had no control of my right leg. I had to stop in the middle of jogging and hold on to a tree for balance. I had damage to my right hip socket because of nerve impingement. I went through weeks of rehab to finally jog and not feel hindered. I combined exercises for Periformis syndrome and sciatic nerve to correct the issue. I still have little, but not enough to impair me, issue with the hip that may never go away and I do not want to subject myself to the possibility of surgery. Needless to say, I have since changed back to a better brand with gel. I gave this brand a chance and I learned a lesson the hard way.

The fit was spot on. They have a roomy toe box, good support, and are true to size. They have excellent traction, from slippery mud, to snow, to rock. They seem to stick to everything.

I'm very pleased with this shoe. Although it's not quite as comfortable as some shoes I've had in the past, it's very light, breathes extremely well (so if it's cold out, you might get a bit chilly), and was priced reasonably. Mine seems to almost glow in the dark, it's ultra reflective. I'm not a serious runner, but I wear this shoe as my day-to-day, gym, and court shoes and they are doing the trick. Oh, and one final shoutout to Zappos' service. They are incredible. My original order was for Asics, but they ended up being defective; the footbed came out on the second day. Zappos refunded me, no questions asked, and gave me free shipping on my next order to compensate. Thanks!

I am very pleased with my new Mizunos. I have been buying Mizunos for about 6 years now, and I never knew that they made these shoes in a narrow size. What a difference it makes to have a shoe that has great support and fits correctly in the width. I would recommend this shoe and Zappos to anyone.

I received super fast delivery. I ordered around 6pm and they arrived the next afternoon. I've never had shipping so fast! The shoes are just as described and my wife loves running in them. She says they are the best anniversary present ever!

A clerk at a running store recommended Mizunos. They are so comfortable. Great quality shoe. And I prefer to buy them through Zappos: great site, great service and free shipping! Zappos rocks!

Great shoe for running. Snugly fits the foot and true to size. This my third pair of Mizuno running shoes, and they are worth the price.

Overall:

Terrific for supinators/high arches. I have a hard time finding shoes with a high enough arch to provide support for me. I supinate/underpronate and have very high arches. These shoes fit like they were designed for my feet and conform to my foot in a way no other shoe has. They correct my feet just enough to create neutral alignment, making my gait more natural. Truly the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn.

Nice running shoe. In this shoe's case, less is better. Back and spine feel much better when using these shoes.

Overall:

These shoes are awesome. I was using the Asics Gel Nimbus, but they started to hurt my feet. I got these and they are so comfortable. They provide a lot of support and I am 220 pounds, size 12.5. They provide a soft landing and smooth take-off, I would definitely recommend this shoe. I ordered these shoes while in Iraq and they got to my location in 10 days; awesome processing and delivery time. Will definitely use Zappos again!

These running sneakers are awesome! They are light as a feather and extremely comfortable. It's very hard for me to size myself when purchasing shoes online, but these shoes are everything they are advertised to be! I would definitely buy them again and I love Zappos!

Reviewer: Melody from Krickenbach, Germany

Overall:

Loved this piece! Smart design, beautiful styling, flattering with great colors! Runs a little big which is unusual. I am a large woman with big shoulders and long arms and find XL normally fits great. Not this time; I returned it but still recommend it. Consider a size down. I ordered Merrell and, as always, find it reliable for quality and fit! Also, check out Marmot; sensible, chic and sport specific varieties are always nice! Zappos handled my return without a hitch and I am a devoted shopper. I live in Germany and never have any trouble with any ordering. Including exchanges. Go Zappos!

Overall:

Love these pants. I just started training for my first 4-mile race and needed the appropriate gear. It has made a huge difference in my performance. It keeps me warm and dry. Also I'm short (5'3") and have an inseam of 28" so it's hard to find pants that will fit length wise (I refuse to hem or roll up my pants) and these pants fit perfectly in length. I'm more than satisfied with these pants.

I love these shoes! I use them mostly for running, but also for weight training at the gym. They feel so light on your feet, which is my favorite feature. I\'ll be buying my second pair soon.

Overall:

Very comfortable shoes from the first wearing. I purchased these shoes for walking and working out (treadmill, cross-trainer, etc.). I have somewhat narrow heels, but like room for my toes, and these are great. The lacing holes come up high enough so that you can snug them up around the top of the foot. They have good arch support, and I was blister-free even on the first outing. I usually wear a 7 1/2 and purchase a size larger for my athletic shoes. I followed suit on these, and the fit is great.

Overall:

I really like these shoes! I usually wear a 7 1/2, but I get an 8 when I buy Mizunos. I was wearing Brooks for awhile, but I like that there is more room on the outside edge by my little toes with these. They do have a nice arch to them. I have trouble finding shoes with arches. I like the Mizunos because I feel like I'm running in just my feet, like I don't have shoes on. They are light and have nice absorption.

Best shoe on the planet. I've known Mizuno's quality for over 30 years for their baseball bats & baseball gloves. So I tried their running shoe and could not be happier. New Balance and Asics are a joke compared to Mizuno.

I went to a shoe specialist who noticed my high arch by watching me walk. He immediately recommended this shoe for jogging. I took his advice, and since getting these shoes I have not had knee problems or shin splints. I run over 3 miles a day.

I've been wearing these shoes for 7 months now. I only wear to the gym. It's the only shoe that doesn't cause me pain when I jog on the treadmill. I definitely recommend them if you find them comfy. They still look brand new with hardly any wear or tear on them.

Reviewer: Gregg B from Athens, GA

Overall:

A fast, lightweight shoe that is par for the course for Mizuno. Highly recommended for everyday runs, though after 13.1 miles the cushioning starts to feel a little sparse. I wore these in a marathon recently and could definitely feel every step towards the end. I might recommend the Wave Inspire for more cushioning on long runs. However, for regular training runs this shoe cannot be beat. Great stability, excellent turnover, Mizuno quality.
