Video Description View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)
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 women have a wider pelvis than men that causes increased pronation upon landing, the female running shoe design features more flexible soles, with more pronounced flex grooves, and a more rounded outside heel for a softer landing and slower inward roll of the ankle that yields a more desired transition.
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.
8.00 oz.

I love my Mizunos! I am on my 2nd pair of Wave Inspire 5\'s. I have never had any issues with them and they make me run fast!

Very nice shoe. I like them because they are super light, but supportive as well. They have a very nice spring and response when running or jogging. Plus they are pretty sharp-looking.

Very comfortable, these are awesome. Run a little loose, but so far they have been good. I like the color; I usually run in Asics, and I still do, but now I use both.

These are the best sneakers! I have been training for a marathon and have been through 6 different pairs of sneakers. I finally found the perfect ones. They are light and don't need to be broken in. Buy a size bigger than your normal size.

These tennis shoes were/are fantastic! Lightweight, and comfortable. I am 60, and took them to Alaska on our cruise! Walked lots in the little villages and towns, and didn't have a problem one! Thank you, they are great shoes, and the mesh keeps your foot from getting hot!

Other brands recommended by reviewer: The orange colored ones are great goo!!!

These are my fourth pair of the Mizuno Wave Inspire...great shoe to run in and love the colors..the bolt/enamel blue is awesome! Really no need to break them in at all, should be able to put them on and run. Size wise, order at least a half size up... I float between an 8 and 8.5 and the 8.5 is def the better choice.

Best Running Shoe - This is my first time trying Mizuno and I love it! Do order a full size larger; I wear 8.5 usually and I ordered a 9.5 (thank you reviewers) and they do fit perfectly. I have narrow feet and I ordered the B medium instead of the narrow which makes me wonder if the narrow would be too tight. I own the bolt/enamel blue and the colors are very bright, which I don't mind, but if you are color shy pick the other color. Extremely comfortable shoe for running, great heel and overall foot cushioning also very light. I'm an overpronator and today for the first time in a long time since I've been running my iliotibial band it's not complaining, so great stability as well!!!

Being a Zappos employee, I have searched high and low for a running shoe that is light weight, super comfortable, and supportive. I found it! I wore them for the first time yesterday and took a long jog. They are amazing! So comfortable, breathable, and very, very light. If you haven't tried these, you really should!

Love the feel of these shoes. Thanks to reviews, I ordered a whole size larger. Glad I did. Also have a narrow foot but ordered a B-medium. They fit perfectly. Great shoes.

Good shoe but do order up a 1/2 size. I didn't listen to previous reviews and ended up w/ a foot injury. Very light, fast shoe.

I just purchased these to train for upcoming half and full marathons and LOVE them. This is my first pair of Mizunos and I am hooked. I ordered a full size up from my normal size and it seems to be the perfect fit - no more black toes!

Eek, turquoise! Love the shoe, but I was a bit shocked to realize that the turquoise color is INSANELY bright. You don't see it much because it just spills over the edge from inside, but it was a bit of a shock. Great feel, wear a 9 (my dress shoe is a 7.5-8). I was surprised that this model seems a little wider than previous ones, especially in the toe box.

Excellent running shoe - Very comfortable, good cushioning, arch support, very breathable. Runs about a 1/2 size small, so order larger than you normally would.

Dear Zappos. First: Let me express sincere appreciation and GRATITUDE to an organization that is STILL able to understand Customer Service. My contacts with Zappos personnel were informative, exceptionally helpful, etc. The process of exchanging for a larger size went without fault. Secondly: You carry a good product line. Again, many thanks for a job well done! Respectfully, Robert G.
