Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Inspire 16 WAVEKNIT™

I love the fact that when I run/jog my feet don't hurt. However, I used the sizing chart according to other brands and I should have gotten a 9.5 (my normal size) versus the 9 that your website suggested. After wearing them for too long, my toes start to get scrunched up and hurt.

Love Mizunos. Have been wearing them for maybe 20 years, which is why I ordered them on line during the pandemic, but if I had been to the store, l would have tried for a better fit. They are definitely tight. Do not order on line!

Shoes are great but the sizes seem to have changed. First time I ordered online and didn't have the opportunity to try the shoes on. They are tight but wearable. Nice shoes. Love Mizuno's. I've been wearing them for 20 years.

Nice product. Use for running / training. I really like the color, the product is light, but has a lot of heel support which is desperately needed on my part. There are two issues with the product: 1) the toe box is TIGHT. Initially I couldn't run more than a mile without losing feeling in my toes in both feet. But the last run the shoes seem to be stretching out further so I was able to get a solid 3miles in w/o having to stop and massage my feet. The other issue is I run with Bombas socks and they are more low cut than other running socks I've used in the past (Asics) and the corner of the tongue of the shoe cuts into the top of my foot on both sides. Hopefully with more use that will cease to be an issue. So, recommend using low cut socks that are higher up than Bombas.

Distance runner and this is my second pair. I switched over from Nikes and am hooked on the comfort of this shoe. It was an extra bonus that I LOVE the pink color as well

I love the color and the style. My only complaint is that they're 1/2 a size too small. I don't know if they run small or if my feet have grown, but it's a bit of a disappointment on my runs.

I have been running in a women's 9.5 Mizuno Wave Inspire for 8 years and have never had any issues with fit or size. The Inspire waveknit seems to fit a little smaller than other wave inspire models that I've worn - a little snug/short in the toe. The waveknit doesn't seem to be anything special, so if you're on the fence about which style of the wave inspire 16 to get, I would say it probably doesn't matter because the waveknit is pretty unimpressive. I will be keeping these shoes because I need new running shoes and I like the shoe over all, but it's not my favorite model of the Wave Inspire.

I work out every morning. I began having plantar fasciitis pain 3 days into using them.

I've been using this same model of running shoe for 10 years, so I was pretty confident about my shoe size. Unfortunately, I needed to o return because they were a full size too small.

This shoe has plenty of cushion, but it is much more narrow than all of the previous wave inspire shoes I bought. I got the same size as I have for the past 8 years and this one was too small. My toes went numb just walking around the house. Very disappointed and I had to pay $11 to return them. Will not be buying mizunos anymore

This shoe is not as comfortable as my first pair which were the Waveknit R2. Still a great shoe but I will not buy this one again.

The soul doesn't have as much cushion or give as the previous Waves. There's very little spring. It's doesn't feel the same. While I'll probably continue to buy Mizuno's these just didn't hit the spot for me.

I would not buy these again. They were not as comfortable as other shoes I have had. I wanted more cushion amd could really feel the road in the toe box. They looked great though!
