The fit is very good and the comfort is the best I’ve had in a shoe. First time buying this brand and I’ve already recommended it to a few people very very comfortable.

I am really enjoying the WI21s. I have several of the previous models - originally recommended to me at a specialty running store for stability when I was having ankle pain. I typically run 2-5 mile distances a few times per week outside and/or treadmill. This is my favorite running shoe ever.

I had my stride evaluated for pronating in. These are the only shoes I wear! I just keep getting the newest version. They are the best!

I have been buying the Wave Inspire running shoe for years because it is one of the few running shoes that fits my narrow feet. Unfortunately, the Wave Inspire 21 has become a very wide shoe. My feet swim in the toe bed, and my heels slip out. Because I have been buying this model for years, I didn't bother trying on the shoe before throwing out the box. (I learned my lesson!)

The shoes came quickly from Zappos‘s. The ordering was seamless. My payment was seamless with Amazon. However, when they arrived, they were a little bit small. I spoke with somebody on the phone. She was extremely helpful and helping me go through the return process.
I'd also recommend:

All good. I ordered 1/2 size larger than usual for lots of space for toes and it worked well.

Having a narrow foot, I ordered my normal shoe size and it works great. The arch support is excellent and I am very happy with this purchase.

Comfortable, but this shoe allowed my foot to pronate more than I liked and my foot rocked around in it a bit.

These are my second pair of wave inspire 21s. My first pair lasted about 500 miles, with most miles coming from road running. They're really comfortable out of the box. I'm a heel striker and have low arches, these shoes provide good support without feeling too squishy.

I do a lot of walking and this shoe has been good for me. I have long toes so the toe bed is important. These had plenty of room. I had purchased another pair of Muzunos a few months ago and really can't wear them because my toes scrunch up. Would purchase again!

Because I have heel bursitis, this shoe's heel area was too narrow and too high up, which irritated my problem. Otherwise I liked the model.

Took a chance on the Inspire line and it paid off! Very responsive shoe without being overly supportive! Love this purple color too.

I've run in these for five marathons now. They're tried and true. Good stability. Good cushion and they really hold up well for distance runs. I still swap out every 300 hundred or so miles. Which means I've probably had 10+ pairs of these. Highly recommend if you need some extra stability and support but while still feeling light on your feet and able to push the speed.

Been wearing this model since the wave inspire 12 and the newest model does not disappoint. A little more room in the toe box and improved cushioning compared to previous models make for a smooth run

I've been buying Inspires since the 12s. I always like them and while I've tried other shoes just for variety, I end up always reaching for my Inspires. Ordered these the day that the 21s were released. I felt like the 19s and 20s were very similar, and while I liked them, I was excited for a redesign. I LOVE the 21s. Maybe a bit more cushion this time around and more room on the toe box. I ran in them today for a bit and they felt great. So far I got the white and the gray. Will be buying the purple next but I'm really hoping for some waveknits!
