I purchased the Mizuno wave inspire 17 in US size 9 and 9.5. The 9 was slightly too small. I also purchased Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 to compare with the Mizuno Wave Inspire 17. I have narrow flat feet and over-pronate. Both the Mizuno and Brooks models (medium width) are very comfortable. The Mizuno offers a more supportive experience for my feet. My concern, and only time will tell, is that the support may cause rubbing or discomfort after wearing them for longer periods. If I could have afforded it, I would have kept both shoes. When I wore the Brooks, they were so very light weight and felt very comfortable. It is a near tie which shoe feels better on my feet. I could feel very distinct comfortable padding under the ball of my foot in the Mizuno. The Brooks were comfortable and I didn’t feel a distinct padding on the balls of my feet when walking in them, but they were very comfortable too. The Mizuno have more support/stability around my ankle, which is why I opted to keep them, over the Brooks. However, if they end up bothering my feet after a few months, I may buy the Brooks.

I have worn this Mizuno style for many years. Briefly switched to another brand which did not give me the support I needed.

Not all Mizunos are the same. I really like the Wave Inspire. It felt more substantial than the Wave Knit. I put them right on and walked out the door. A Big win. I have them in blue, too.

None. This is the best.

Love these shoes. Great support. I have very narrow feet and I am disappointed they don’t make narrow widths anymore. I can make them work because they tie, but they don’t fit as well as the narrow widths did. A very very minor complaint-the shoelaces are too long. I will keep buying new ones when they wear out.

These shoes offer me the snug fit I like with decent arch support (old adidas used to be perfect but they are all unsupportive POS now). This is my 3rd pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 as I wear them daily for everything - and need two pairs at once so I can rotate! The blue quarry color is my favorite.

These Mizunos are a very different feel but work well for my flat feet and unstable ankles. I can wear them all day and keep going strong.

I absolutely LOVE the Mizuno Wave Inspire shoes. I've been wearing these for years and they always feel like they were made for just me. So comfortable. Great cushion and supportive while still being extra light. I am not sure I'll ever wear another running shoe.

Are usually wear an eight but I saw on the description that it was suggested that I buy a half size larger. I’m glad I did because they fit perfectly. They just came last week and I have not had a chance to break them in. So, I will give another review when I have had them for a while.

LOVE Mizunos. Have been wearing them for about 5 years, at the suggestion of a podiatrist. Used to wear Danskos. I always have to go up a size in Mizunos. I have a wider front of my foot and the wider toe box makes these super comfortable. Mizunos have been very helpful in fighting off Plantar faciitis, as they give wonderful arch support and a lot of cushion in the heel. Just bought a back up pair because once in a while the Wave Inspire "version of the year" is a little wonky.

This is my 5th pair of Mizuno wave inspire shoes and they are always top notch! Wether it’s a 5k or a half marathon they never hurt my feet! Recommend to anyone who loves to run?

Needed Mizuno size 12 for orthotics before . I returned the 12 it was too big. I like the open weave for my toes in the summer. Great color for summer I can ever wear it with dresses if I’m walking or standing.

I really love Mizuno running shoes. They've always been comfortable, wear right out of box with no needing to break in, stylish. I get a 1/2 bigger due to running. Zappos wonderful with their customer service!!! I would recommend them.

I love this brand for everyday wear. They are lightweight and allow me to insert my orthotic footbed as a replacement for the one provided. The comfort in walking is perfect for me; I wear them all day.
