Reviewed at Mizuno USA, Inc.
This is the most comfortable running shoe I have ever put my foot into. Have been wearing Mizunos for a few years, but this is the best one ever. The mesh is a little tighter woven than the 13, but that is an improvement. It hugs the foot so nicely, but still roomy enough, especially in the toe box. It's like walking on a cloud. I use my own superior insole, but I believe I could have run in this shoe as is for a while. Mizuno, please do not change this shoe. It is perfect. I won't wear any other shoe. Ladies, the charcoal/bright pink is so much fun.

Super comfy shoe, great support. However, the color seemed a little off compared to how it looked online. I was expecting more contrast between the gray and plum but the gray actually appeared more lavendar once I got the shoes. Will return for a different color.

I love these shoes. I run often and do boot camps and these shoes are amazing. I’ve tried many different brands and these work best. They stabilize my ankles and knees, and have a lot of cushioning. My feet never hurt in these shoes. They run true to size, the only issue I have which is with all shoes is my feet are narrow so Sometimes shoes fit a tiny bit loose. Don’t really have that issue with these shoes as long as I lace them tight. Best pair of workout shoes/running shoes I’ve found in years. Highly recommend!!

There was a small issue with stitching on right shoe at top of arch on left where one section is sewn to another. If I were the maker I would alter the placement of the piece’s attachment. However it could possibly the anatomy of my foot.

I love my Mizuno Wave Inspire 14s. They feel as if they are softer up top than the last model but still have the wonderful support.

I'm not a runner, but wanted a comfortable shoe for everyday life. I have a hard time finding a good fit, but had an earlier pair of these, bought at a local sporting goods store, that I really liked. In between, I had two pairs of Brooks and the first of those worked well, but the second was terribly uncomfortable, so I decided to try Mizuno Wave Inspire again. I didn't love the colors, but the shoe is a great fit and the colors are growing on me. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

I run 20+ miles a week and love this shoe. Light weight, supportive and great color combinations. I have worn this model for many years and it continues to be my favorite.

I purchased these in the gray color in a wide width and am pleased. I always size up 1/2 to 1 full size in running sneakers since I use them mostly for power walking and the gym-not for running. Went up a whole size in these. They have a supportive arch with good stability. I have a high arch so this works for my type of foot. I don't know what has happened to ASICS which I usually wear but these Mizunos are a perfect fit for me.

Very comfortable and good for over pronation, but the 10.5 wide was too big for me and the 10 wide wasn't wide enough....sorry, had to send them back.

Well-cushioned running shoe with nice female colors. Felt a big more snug than other wide-sized brands. Laces could be a bit longer too for the width.

I ordered these shoes in a wide and they just weren’t wide enough. If they were slightly wider they would be perfect. Overall they were super comfortable and gave great support just needed to be wider for my foot.

These shoes are comfy & supportive. I bought the 7&1/2 and then the eight because I tend to vacillate between the two depending upon the style. I’m returning the size eight because my foot is sloshing around in the eight, & the heel slips a little. I decided on this decided on this shoe in part because the reviews said that it was a little more roomy in the toe box and it leans toward a wider fit. I didn’t really find either of those things to be true, but it’s still more comfortable than the ASICS Kayano. I haven’t worn them on a run yet, so I’ll update this review a little later.

Comfortable even though it’s a little snug. Great cushioning for pumping on concrete surfaces. Nice looking. Half size up would probably be too big so hoping it will stretch out a bit over time.

I usually order a narrow in my shoes, but other reviews stated that these run narrow. I ordered a 9M and they were short, hitting tip of shoe. This is 1/2 size longer than I usually order. They also were slipping on the back of my heel. I figured if I went up another size, the heel would slip even more. Going to try a Brooks and hope they work.

Love this shoe... I've bought Mizuno before and this is all that I expected it to be. The only thing I'd wish is that it had a bit more arch support.

Comfy!! Love em! It's hard for me to find shoes, I'm required to have wide toe box, support, and stability! It does it job!

I always run in this model (Wave Inspire), as I need a stability shoe and these seem to work very well for my feet. The 13's definitely feel more cushion-y and less stiff than prior models. I have only run in them for a few weeks, but so far have not had any issues in terms of less stability (as a trade off for more cushion). I think these shoes run a touch small- I wear a 7.5 in "regular" shoes, but always size up in length and width for running so ordered 8.5D. These are still not very wide in the toe box. Overall, I am pleased with the updated version. They are more comfortable while maintaining stability.

The wave inspire 13 had incredible inside arch support to correct my step so I had high hopes for these. These were borderline painful. The support is almost nonexistent..which is a bummer because they're a great style! They did fit true to size though.
