Running shoe built for the moderate over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and enhanced stability.
Inspiration has arrived in its newest form...
SmoothRide Engineering™ minimizes the rapid acceleration and deceleration of your foot for a super-smooth ride.
Dynamotion Fit™ mitigates the stress that your foot naturally puts on the shoe for a fit free from distortion.
Gender Engineering has been applied to maximize fit and performance by more closely fitting the different runningstyles of the male and female runner. As men are typically heavier than women and thus produce greater force upon impact, the male running shoe design features a wider, slightly flared sole that increases the landing area for a more stable and secure run.
AIRMesh™ constructed upper creates a highly breathable and comfortable environment for your foot.
Ortholite® sockliner delivers a responsive first feel while imparting moisture transport and anti-microbial function.
Mizuno Intercool™ technology provides a full-foot dynamic ventilation system that rids the inner shoe environment of hot humid air. Blistering is minimized and comfort is enhanced as the foot stays cooler because, as the midsole is compressed, hot air is transferred from the midsole to the outsole and then outside the shoe via a linked system of holes, channels and ports.
Mizuno Wave® technology ingeniously combines both cushioning and stability as these two elements are essential in a great running shoe. Composite Double Fan Wave provides the ideal blend of support and cushioning for excellent transition.
Responsive AP MidSole offers a lightweight yet durable midsole material that enhances take-off.
VS-1™ cushioning compound absorbs forces of impact in the heel and forefoot.
X-10™ carbon rubber has been added to high impact areas of the outsole for increased durability and better traction at heel strike.
Forefoot of the outsole is constructed with SmoothRide Engineering™ and solid rubber for cushioning, flexibility and durability.
11.00 oz.

Reviewer: Scott M from Little Rock Arkansas
Overall:5 stars   Comfort:5 stars   Look:4 stars

Started wearing the Mizuno brand cleats while playing college football. Once I tried on a pair of the running shoes I can't imagine wearing anything else. These Wave 5 are another top notch product from Mizuno. If you're looking for a great shoe, this is it. Extremely light weight on your feet, have breathing material to where you can actually feel the wind blow though to your feet. Tough as nails and the most durable shoe I've personally ever bought. I can wear & wash these shoes for years before replacing them so I don't mind the higher price tag.

These are great shoes! The fit is perfect. They are very comfortable. Just the right amount of cushioning. They are not too firm. I wore out one pair, tried another shoe, then bought another pair of the Inspire.

Maybe the best... this may be the best running shoe I've ever owned. I have to be honest; I have gained a lot of weight in the last few years and no longer run. I use these shoes for walking and will start jogging with them in the near future. Needless to say, I am a heavy 'runner' and have a neutral/natural gait (maybe a slight over-pronator). Recently, I have owned and worn New Balance, Asics, and Adidas running shoes. These are the first Mizunos I've tried and have fallen in love. As the other reviewer mentioned, they are flexible, light, and have a soft ride. In fact, my only concern is that they feel too soft, and I am worried that the midsole will compress prematurely. The uppers are very breathable and soft, and they offer adequate support. The size (both length and width) are accurate/true. If you need a well-cushioned trainer, try these. So far they have proven to be a great value. As long as they don't compress too quickly, they will continue to be.

Very flexible forefoot. Light weight and very breathable. Heel collar doesn\'t hold down your heel as good as the Asics GT-2140. Also the mid foot support isn\'t as supportive as the Asics GT-2140. Overall, a good running shoe. It\'s a good addition to my 6 pairs of running shoes.

Other brands recommended by reviewer: Asics GT-2140
