Review on Mizuno Women's Waveknit 2 Creation Running Shoe by John Rivera

I'm a big fan of Mizuno running shoes, I've been using their running shoes for over 10 years but they are very disappointing. I have 7 1/2 in regular shoes but I always order 8 or 8 1/2 in Mizuno as they tend to run small. Bought 8 1/2 and they don't fit at all. The lining in the heel pushes your foot forward enough that your sock compresses at the front of the sock. The plastic parts that the laces attach to are stiff. So when you try to tighten the laces to pull your foot backwards, they press into the sides of the foot and cause blisters. It's more than a size issue, it's a general fit issue. Unfortunately I missed the return window so I tried to get them working but it just isn't possible. Very disappointed!
