Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Sky 8

I love these shoes! I have 2 pair. My story: I needed a new pair of walking and gym shoes and wanted them to be cushy since I have been dealing with overall muscle aches and arthritis this past year. I usually wear a narrow in Brooks Ghost (and they are wonderful shoes) but only 2 colors are offered. I have had a more narrow foot all my life so nice cushy running shoes are usually only B width or wides and too wide in the front and sometimes the heel. I have had a problem for years getting shoes that fit (and need doctoring) in general. I went to a local running store to get an updated feet assessment and recommendations. They confirmed narrow foot, low arch, low instep. They brought out some brands (and none were a narrow width since they did not stock them). Mizuno Wave Sky 8 was the first I tried. I came back to it after 3 other tries. I was amazed that it fit like a glove (with original insert). It was cushy. I bought it. They did not have another color so I came to Zappos and bought a second pair. I am considering a third. When your body and back gives you issues the shoes you wear are so important and the investment is worth it. I suggest that if your foot is more a true medium you may find these a comfy fit or too narrow - you just have to try. Even different makes in a brand fit differently. There is a wide available too. I had not heard of this brand before but I am so glad I found a brand that I can switch off with my Brooks and be comfortable and supported.

I love these shoes right out of the box. As a size 10 W with falling arches and plantar fasciitis, I need shoes like this just to visit muesums and other public spaces with hard floors, so I save them for that purpose. I plan to buy more when I can. No breaking in period needed! This was my first pair of Mizunos. More of this please, Zappos!! (Also did not need to insert orthotics.)

Comfortable right out of the box. Wore immediately for a long walk, no issues. Shoe is lightweight, well cushioned, and looks as good as a sneaker can look.
