Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Inspire 15

Very comfortable. The only shoes I run in which do not require an insole. Feet rarely hurt after runs (I'm a bigger guy). Only downside is the 15s wore out a little quick on the outside sole in the same spot on each shoe.

Great supportive shoe. My only qualm is that my feet were too hot when running a half marathon in them.

This light, responsive stability trainer is fun to run in. It's a versatile shoe that can be used on roads, sidewalks, and trails. This is a great first shoe for new runners with slight to moderate pronation issues, and will serve well as a durable, high-mileage shoe for experienced runners.

Great line of running shoes!

Not the best, but good for running.wr 22 is better.

Let me start by saying I own the blue and black colors. The black fit better, even though they're both the same size. I kept both of them, but the blue ones tend to make my knees sore after about 3 miles.. they're still the best I've found. hoping they make some tweaks for the 16.

Sized wrong by about a half size, and after using the Mizuno Creation, it is rather flat !!

Run

I've run fifty miles in these so far. These are a nice looking shoe .Nice upper but this is a bit stiff for the break-in . I prefer the Wave Inspire 14s.

I had to go back to see when I bought these and it was end of February. It is now May. I only wear these shoes to the gym 2-3 times a week for approximately an hour. I am 6 ft 2in and about 310 pounds. Love the feel and weight of the shoe although I probably should of gone up a 1/2 size. The reason for the 3 stars is I just noticed the heel lining along the back of my ankle is ripping and caused a small blister. The material is really thin there I guess but it only happened to my left shoe. A little disappointing for this to be happening since I've worn the shoes less than 50 times.

Also own Inspire 13, so in comparison, I like the look of the 15 better, but the materials are noticeably lighter weight and seem to provide less ankle support for me. Unfortunately after only a few wearings, holes ripped in the heel of the left and right shoe of the 15. I probably have close to 600 miles more on the 13s and they have held up much better in general.

Not as good as previous models so I returned them.

The lining in the heel wore after a couple months.

The Inspire 14 is BY FAR a better shoe for pronators for a few reasons. The "dynomotion fit" found on the 14's offers excellent mid-foot lock down and I really felt the difference (in a bad way) with out it. My foot felt very unsecure. Again this is from a person who pronates. Also, I could really feel A LACK of response in the forefoot part of the shoe on the 15's. Even though the bottom soles look identical, there is something definitely missing. Maybe Mizuno removed something to make the shoe lighter? For the record, I compared both shoes side by side. I wore a 14 on one foot and a 15 on the other foot - at the same time. I walked and ran on a treadmill. I even switched shoes so that each foot could feel each model. The results were the same. I will say aesthetically speaking, the 15 looks much more attractive and modern. If Mizuno brings back the dynomotion fit, I would totally buy the 15. However, I will NOT purchase a 15 without it, even if it looks better. Please bring it back Mizuno. Also, how about making the entire sole (including the mid sole) black with a wolf grey upper, and or, an oreo color upper. I promise you this color combo would sell out a head of the others.
