Review on Mizuno Wave Inspire 16 Women's Road Running Shoe by Jake Davies

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Too small. the best in shoes

I'm a fan of the Wave Inspire line. They have always been the best fit and comfort for me as a hyperpronator. This year's new model has changed a lot compared to previous versions. I find the outsole is still comfortable (for me) but the design of the upper has changed a lot and I don't really like it. Aesthetically, they don't look as good as they used to, and the materials used don't seem as durable. They look and feel very thin. They may be great for breathability, but it's hard to say if they will stand the test of time. I ordered size 7, which has always fitted me perfectly with this shoe line. Size 7 is too small. I will have to swap them out for a 7.5 and hope they fit properly and the arch of the sole aligns properly with my foot. If you have worn these shoes in the past and know your exact size, I recommend starting with half a size larger.

Pros
  • Smoothride Supportive Wave brings the perfect balance of softness and lightness to every step
Cons
