When I was introduced to this shoe and put it on, it was like angels came down from the heavens and sang songs to the blessings of my feet. Awesome, comfortable, perfect. I was using a wrong running shoe that was heavier and didn't provide any appropriate support. The feeling of these shoes is they were made for my feet. I mildly over pronate and I have a high arc. My feet strikes on the outer portion of my heel and rolls inward. There isn't much else to say. My knees were hurting with my old shoes and I was lumbering when I ran and now my knees are feeling great and my legs feel much, much lighter. My feet feel great in them too.

This is my first time ordering from Zappos and I couldn't be happier with the results. The next day shipping was really the next day. The Mizuno sneakers were as advertised. They fit well, were extremely comfortable and I am totally satisfied with the results.

My first official running shoe was this shoe's predecessor the Inspire 8, which was a great shoe. I had high hopes for the Inspire 9, especially considering how cool they look. The first run with them was not as comfortable as the Inspire 8. The width seemed to fit a little tighter comparitively. However, I didn't want to give up on them (I have a few pairs of Mizunos already) and gave them a few more runs. It wasn't long before they were broken in enough to feel comfortable. I ran my first half marathon in them and they performed great!

I'd also recommend: Mizuno

I am a runner with some nerve damage. Looking for a shoe with a wider toebox to make room for high impact orthotic insert. Not wide enough, went to the mens version EE and it worked. Love the construction, it's lightweight and well engineered for support.

I currently play college football (6'3, 260lbs) and I couldn't imagine a long run without them. Sufficient support for heavy runners with flat feet but light enough for quick miles day after day. Will purchase again!
