Review on Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 Men's Shoes πŸ‘Ÿ - model 411306 5353, size 14, price $1050 by Kyle Mack

Great shoes, great fit, very comfortable

If any of you tried the Nike Max Moto series in the early 2000s but were disappointed when it was discontinued, then this shoe is for you. For pronators, this very well-cushioned shoe offers excellent support and ensures high wearing comfort all day long, even if you are overweight. Mizuno makes other types of running shoes, but the Wave Inspire is their flagship. I've never worn a Wave Inspire that I didn't like; These shoes are well made and don't fall apart as easily as their Nike counterparts. You don't have to be a pronator to use them; it just means they have extra padding on the sides and arch, which I think is good for pretty much everyone (remember, less padding means more stress on the joints). I also love the laces they use; They are not unpacked while running. When it comes to durability, I usually change my running shoes every ten months, but you can wear them longer if you take good care of them. Mine still looked great after ten months, but as a frequent runner I've been told that the materials are at their most stretchy in the first ten months, so I don't usually keep a pair for more than a year.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit
Cons
  • May cause hot spots on legs
