Review on Top-Performing Mizuno Inspire Running Quarry Stormy Weather Men's Athletic Shoes by Ben Jacobson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very comfortable and pleasant to use, but I had to order a larger size than my Wave Inspire 14.

This is an updated review. After further use I've re-wrote part of the review to omit some of my earlier criticisms which I now relate to fitting into new shoes. Having used the Wave Inspire 15 for long walks outdoors, I am very satisfied with its comfort and performance. I bought the Wave Inspire 15 to replace my Wave Inspire 14 which was my most comfortable and favorite pair of athletic shoes. I'm just as happy with the Wave Inspire 15 as I was with my old Wave Inspire 14. As another reviewer said, the Wave Inspire 15 appears to be narrower in width. I first ordered my size D, a regular fit that matches the size of the Wave Inspire 14 I was wearing. I had to trade my Wave Inspire 15D for a 2E - wide. Ultimately, the 2Es fitted well, but I had to replace the first pair of 2Es because the inner shank was too high and was chafing on the inside of my ankle. So it took me 3 pairs of Wave Inspire 15s to get what I was looking for. Luckily, the exchange process between Mizuno and Revain is very quick and easy. The cushioning of the Wave Inspire 15 is outstanding! The best analogy I can offer is that the cushioning absorbs my steps like a thick and responsive sponge. The Wave Inspire 15 absorbs the impact of my feet on the ground and provides good bounce. The 15s fit well and are snug after I tightened all the laces very well. The 15s are a comfortable weight and don't feel heavy or bulky. Overall the Wave Inspire 15 are very comfortable and I love using them! Besides, they look great. I changed my original rating from 4 stars to 5 based solely on the Wave Inspire 15's performance. I have not changed my rating due to the exchanges I had to make about the Wave 15's inspiration. Buying shoes or clothes online comes with a certain risk that sometimes you don't get the perfect product. But I had a similar experience and product release when I personally bought from physical stores. In this case, Mizuno/Revain fixed everything immediately.
