Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Inspire 16

Great look!! Great performance

This is probably my 6th pair of wave inspires; I love them! They are comfortable, light weight but still offer support, and help with my pronation.

I have been using only the left shoe, as I am dealing with a torn Achilles on my right foot. It's a great compliment with my boot cast! Looking forward to the days when I can wear the right one too! The support, and stable feeling I get from the shoe is awesome.

I really like the wave mesh shoes from Mizuno! I wore them to work (8 hours of standing/moving as a barista) and not only did all my coworkers compliment them, but my feet were so comfortable and supported! I wore them to the gym today, ran two miles, and they felt great. I've experienced minimal shin splints with these shoes, which is normally a pretty big problem for me. My only recommendation is that you wear slightly high socks, as the heel design is slightly higher than standard and will rub and make your heel bleed slightly. Otherwise, I love everything about these shoes!

Not only are these shoes super comfortable but they are good looking too (I have grey with mesh upper). Can't run yet due to plantar fasciitis but they are great for walking.

The shoes are comfortable and supportive however they do not hold up well over time. The inside heel area wears away extremely quickly, exposing hard plastic which hurts with every step. Having bought them at a running store and having a qualified person fit me with these shoes I know that they fit right. It's purely a question of the durability of the inside cushioning. Other than that, they fit well and are supportive and comfortable. Just be ready to change them out more frequently than you might like.

I have used the Mizuno Wave Inspire since I had a running evaluation four years ago. They have always been a great shoe for me for long distance with good support and comfort compared to other brands I have tried in the past (and I have tried a lot). This last update is really not my favorite however. I find this Inspire much more stiff across the ball of the foot than the previous versions. I should not have but I initiated the shoe with a 11 mile run followed by a 12 mile run a week later. The ball of my foot was sore afterward. I recovered quickly after wearing a more cushioned shoe the rest of the day, however. I may have to try to find a new pair of the older version.

A great running shoe with wonderful support (at age 83, this is important) but this "wide" does not seem as comfortable as wide ordered previously.

I run most every day in this shoe, this one in particular was ordered the same size as usual 7.5 and the toes feel like they rub. Kind of weird. Other than that the look and feel is good and I like the shoe.

This shoe provides great support when I run. I previously had the Inspire 15. I do not feel the Inspire 16 level of quality( textile, ankle cushion and laces) is as good as the 15, but it still provides good support.

Super comfortable and great performance as before, but I am not a big fan of the new shoelaces. They were too short to thread through the top holes and not the same quality as previous versions of the Wave Inspire that I own. Love the way they look and feel otherwise!

This model has been my shoe for years. I run 6 miles every other day. These shoes are great for arch support and pronation. They run a bit short so go up half a size. They also tend to run narrow and would not work at all for a wide foot.

Will use and reevaluate.

Same great stability shoe. The laces are too short and seem like cheaper quality than previously

I use this product for running

This is probably my favorite pair of running shoes ever. I love how supportive they are without feeling heavy or bulky. They're also super cute and sleek.

They run large and not as great as I expected from the reviews.
