Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Inspire 14

Love these shoes! I went to my local running store to get fitted but when they didn't have the black in stock, I turned to Zappos. They fit great and have enough support without feeling like you're too high off the ground

I first ordered this shoe in the Black/Silver and it fit so well I ordered the Grey/Pink. Have been wearing Mizuno Inspire for years but the last comfortable model was the Inspire 12 (for me). I need the soft material and ample toe box for my crazy toes! I am happy with both style, fit, and colors of the Inspire 14.

Nice big toe box. Comparable to Aisics Gel Kayano but the Mizuno has a softer ride. Might even say that it runs a little on the wide side

This is my 8th pair of Wave Inspires. I need a wide-ish toe box because I have bunions, and a M width on these is always wide enough. They hold up well, and are comfortable out of the box.

I normally wear an 11 medium so that's what I ordered. These were so comfortable and fit perfectly that I ordered another pair in a different color. Great arch support!

This shoe runs small. Order a full size larger than your regular size. They are absolutely wonderful. I am am 67 with ankle and knee pain and old injuries. I used to wear Brooks, but they no longer help me. I can't even describe how it felt to put these on. I walked around the house for a few minutes, then sat down and could not take them off. I could feel the muscles in my legs relaxing. My doctor told me the muscle pain was from holding muscles tense while walking. My feet and legs actually tingled as I sat there and the next day I had no leg pain. Yes, I still have leg pain when I walk a lot, but I am now walking for long shopping trips and busy days, and I feel so steady in my balance. To adjust to my new balance as my muscles and posture change, I am doing foot and leg stretches and it just keeps getting better. I had such a good experience I got some for my 87 year old mother. She had the same experience when first trying them. Also, they are much lighter weight than other shoes I have work. Highly recommend.

I have not worn these yet, but I have another pair just like them that are the best shoes I have ever had. That is why I purchased these. No need to shop around. Shipping was fast too.

This fits great. The toe box provides room and the overall shoe provides stability and the right amount of arch support (I was able to ditch the arch support inserts I was using in my previous shoe). I think the Dapple Gray/Clover color is awesome.

These are the BEST. I've been a fan of New Balance and Asics, but they always lost the comfort after a few months. I've been wearing these for 4 months and still love them. I am a walker and generally walk 5-10 miles each week. These shoes give me both comfort and support. I will definitely buy them again.

I love these shoes. I bought a half size up. I have issues with pronation and these shoes are perfect for keeping me running!! I bought them in all colors so I can switch out daily and don’t have to worry about the fit and style changing!!

I had order these a 1/2 size up from what I usually order in athletic shoes because some of the reviews said they ran short. In dress shoes I wear a 10N so I would normally order an 11 in athletic shoes but I went up, and had to send them back. The 11 is still plenty long for even my thickest socks. For years I had been wearing ASICS gel kayano in an 11, which I felt we’re getting short for me recently. I wish the shoe manufacturers would make more than just one color option in narrow. It almost always is the most homely color option.

I always buy the new version of the Wave Inspire. I need support when I run and these felt like running on a cloud. I am SO happy I bought them. The toe box is narrower than in the 13, but I like it. Highly recommend! (If you can afford to spend your life's savings on sneakers like I did.)

As reported, I agree with this being an excellent supportive shoe. I have narrow over-pronating feet and these are very healthy, comfortable, and supportive. The style is sleek and cool. The size in Narrow is just right. The arch support is excellent and I say that as I see that some listed reviews do not stress this enough. I am enjoying my 4th pair of Mizunos and I heartily recommend this brand. I have had this brand before years ago and they last a long time.

I wear a size 7 and initially ordered 7.5 on black. I loved the color and the shoe, however, they felt a bit tight. I returned and reordered a size 8. I have bony feet with high arches and underpronation; I recently started running and no matter what shoes I used for my jogs I had ankle pain; these shoes seem to help. I ran 10k with only a mild discomfort.

Great looking shoe (I bought the grey/purple). Excellent arch support. Nice and roomy in the toe box yet fits nice around my heel which in narrow.

Like many others, I have worn Asics for years but have been increasing disappointed as they continually narrowed the footbed of their shoes. I finally went to Brooks, but even they started narrowing their shoes! Most recently I bought a pair of Brooks at the recommendation of a PT following a shoe fitting, and I had to go with a wide pair in order for it to fit, but felt my foot was sliding around in the shoe when I would run. Just tried the Mizunos, and I LOVE THEM. The footbed is wide enough while still maintaining narrow heels. My feet feel very supported with enough room for my toes to move freely and comfortably. And in a standard width. These shoes are also MUCH lighter than the Brooks I own. Not sure how they will hold up with extended running, but so far they are fantastic. These are definitely my new shoes!

I love these shoes. I usually wear between 6.5 and 7, therefore, I ordered the Mizuno Wave Inspire 14 size 7.5. They fit and I could walk in the house without feeling them too tight however for running they would feel too small. I have high arches and bony feet. I returned them and I ordered size 8.

Purchased this for my daughter's birthday - she is an avid runner and needs new shoes regularly - she wanted these but they were not available at the Mizuno website, nor at her local running store - I searched the web and chose to order from Zappos - the shoes were available there, her size and width, and were delivered surprisingly quickly - she put them on immediately = they fir perfectly -

Let me preface by saying, I am not a true runner. I do have feet that truly hurt no matter what. I decided to start running again after a five year hiatus and thought I'd try these to see if they make it less painful. They SO did! So the fact that these shoes make my feet happy when I am making them do something they don't like is amazing. I am going to get my son a pair for Christmas. They are that good. I did follow the previous reviewers a half size up and they fit perfectly. Love them!
