I have been running in the Hoka Clifton 8 for a while and liked them, when they switch to the Hoka Clifton 9 I found that even the regular fit was too wide for my feet. They were too clunky and my feet moved around in them a lot and this caused blisters.
I got fitted at feet fleet and tried these on and the fit was perfect! I've been running in them for about 3 months and they are my new favorite shoe. No blisters, my feet aren't moving around in the shoe when I run, they aren't clunky but still have a good amount of cushion and feel comfortable on those long runs.

Yearslong fan of Mizuno shoes! The fit and support are fantastic and feel secure while wearing them for running without rubbing on my ankle. First time of trying this model and I'm sold will be ordering another pair.

I'm a runner and have narrow feet. Mizuno is the only shoe that fits snugly enough. Used to buy the Waverider but you increased the width a bit(dissapointing) so I tried the Sky 8 and found it to fit well. As usual, the quality, comfort, support of the shoe is the best! DON'T WIDEN PLEASE

Great bounce and support without the bulk like Hokas. I use for workouts and daily errands.

These shoes are very comfortable. The soles do not seem to last quite as long as other brands, but the comfort is worth it.

Still breaking them in. They are a bit tight on my bunions, even with the wide width, but hoping they'll stretch a little.

I love this shoe!! I need a lot of arch and ankle support, and this shoes gives me both. I've tried Brooks, Asics, and On Clouds and none of them have been as good as these shoes. They are so comfortable and supportive, and I love them!! I highly recommend!!

I really liked the shoe and I have had great experiences with this brand. However, once I tie the shoe on it, created a crease on either side of the shoe in the toolbox just above the laces. I couldn’t get rid of the creases.

I was excited to try these running shoes and they didn't disappoint. They are light and support my foot well.

I was hoping to keep this super-cushion Mizuno but didn't for a couple reasons. The ankle collar is very skimpy for the price of this shoe! It's not padded as much as you'd expect & get with the Inspire & Rider. It also cuts into that soft spot beneath the ankle bone, not resting around the ankle or above it for comfort & support. Plus the laces are so short you can't use the last hole for a more snug fit. Couldn't see buying a new pair of laces for a $170 new shoe. But, it does feel incredibly bouncy & resilient under foot - which actually feels a bit unstable with the lack of ankle coverage.
I'd also recommend:

I ordered the 8W and they are not overly wide but they are not a true size 8. Size up a 1/2 size. Great support.

I bought a pair of Wave Sky 8 at a local running shop. Never wore MIzuno before. I wear a women's 11, but got fitted for a men's size because they did not have an 11 women and the Mizunos runs short and narrow. I bought a men's 10 which is an 11.5 women's. I loved the shoe so much that on black friday I bought TWO pairs of women 11.5 at incredible black friday prices. The shoes fix spectacularly well. They are soft and comfortable. Supportive and feel durable. Too many shoes today are boxy and not durable. MIzuno, you have a fan! Keep it up. Now I am thinking about a woman's tennis shoe but your sizing does not go above 11 for women. And if Mizuno tennis shoes run small, then I will have to hope the mens run narrow enough to accommodate - or I am back to NIKE!.

I don't know if it was the excessive padding or what. This is my third pair of Mizunos and these wrecked one of my heels. I would recommend ordering at least a half size up if you get these.
