Hello, I’m currently looking into switching out of the ASICS gel kanyano I feel like they’ve changed the shoe too much. Do you think these shoes are like the gel kanyano used to be ?
Hi there and thanks for the message. Your inclination towards this shoe as a good alternative is spot on. We would definitely suggest at least trying a pair on and seeing how close it feels to what you are looking for. Cheers, Simon
I have had the Wave Inspire 19 now for about 200km of running & walking. I’m an over pronator and updated from the Wave Inspire 18, which I wasn’t overly thrilled with, but ran a half marathon in them, along with all the associated training and they did the job with no injury issues. I can say that I am very happy with the 19! Really comfortable, very stable, very little wear on the outsole, so far …and they look good too. I’m in the midst of training for another half marathon, so far (touch wood) no issues, and I’ll be wearing my Wave Inspire 19s….I think I’m a converted Mizuno man.
@@PistolPete2023 I didn’t switch from any other brand…I landed on Mizuno, from the start and while they keep doing the job for me, I’ll stick with them. My Wave Inspire 18s were a 2E width, I felt they were just too wide, but still comfortable. The 19s are a D width and perfect. I did try the new balance 860v13, in between the 18 & 19, but couldn’t get a half size…the 12 was far too small and the 13 was far too big! I should say, I wear a 12.5 for most of my shoes & boots, and the Mizuno 12.5 was what I expected from that size.
Thanks for the review of the Mizuno Wave Inspire. Would this sneaker be good for someone with a neutral foot? You mention that it provides arch support. Does that mean that the instep/arch is raised? Thank you!
Hi there. Sorry we didn’t reply sooner. The Mizuno Rider 27 is the better option for someone looking for a neutral shoe. The Mizuno Inspire would not be a disaster as it is provides a moderate level of support, however it is not a neutral running shoe.
Thank you. I just got this a couple of weeks ago and so far I’ve been very happy with it. I’ve noticed on my other shoes that I tend to wear them out a bit faster on the outer edge of the shoes, but with support this one gives me on the arch, I seem to be landing much more evenly. It’s a perfectly stable and absorbs impacts well, but I wish it was a bit softer, and a bit wider at the front.
Which shoes are the primary competitor to this Wave Inspire 19? I wear a wide size and they offer just 2 colors! I'm looking for an all black one that I can officiate in.
Hi Robert and thanks for getting in touch with us. Mizuno do have an all black version of Inspire 19 in Wide. The Mizuno Inspire 19 SSW wide. We don't stock that model of shoe at our shop but you should be able to search it up and find shop that stocks it. Cheers, Footpro
If you want a shoe that you can sprint in and use for other running work-outs then go for it, get a pair. If you want a shoe for mainly sprints or athletic track running then we would consider another option, slightly lighter perhaps. Cheers for getting in touch.
Hey Dazzle. The SSW mesh will be a bit more breathable than the standard mesh. The SSW mesh also make the forefoot of the shoe feel a little bit more roomy than the standard mesh.
Hello Mr. Man, we apologize for the delay in getting back to you. The new Mizuno Inspire 19 is designed to provide better outcomes for your plantar fasciitis than any of the previous versions. The main reasons for this are as follows: Firstly, the Inspire 19 features a 12mm heel-to-toe offset and a moderate amount of arch support, which work together to stabilise your feet and reduce the load on the arch and plantar fascia. Secondly, the Inspire 19 has significantly more cushioning than previous versions, which provides a softer fit under the arch and heel where plantar fasciitis pain is usually at its worst. As always, trying on the shoes and receiving advice on size and fit will give you the best chance of having a great new shoe experience. We hope this information is helpful.
Hey man. Great question. What did you decide in the end? I'm a fellow sufferer of the worst effing injury I've ever had - nearly two years now, but I've got to a point where I can run again - so far I'm back up to 10k (albeit 13 kilos heavier). As I got back into running I was wearing the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 which served me very well before I got plantar fasciitis. I updated them the other day and felt what I needed was more arch support. In the shop I tried on the Adrenaline GTS 23, which felt like a good shoe, but didn't give the arch support I wanted. I also tried on the super expensive Asics Kayano which were like running with big cushions on my feet. Might be good for someone who does long shifts on their feet in a hospital but I felt for running they'd absorb too much power and be very inefficient. But comfy! I tried on another pair of Asics (can't remember which) which had a big bar on the outside that was a bit much for me. Tried the Wave Inspire 19 and it felt the best for what I wanted. I tried them on several times, between the others, and yeah, I went for them. But what are they like in the real world? Well I've done one run, yesterday. The thing with where I am now with the plantar fasciitis is that I have good days and days where I can feel it bothering me. And yesterday day I could feel it, but I had no ill effects from the run. It didn't flare up so I'm looking forward to seeing how I get on over the next few runs. Otherwise I felt well supported even if they felt a little over-cushioned , but that's just comparing them to the Adrenalines which were well worn by the time I retired them. I'll take them out to the ParkRun tomorrow and get a better feel for them at a faster tempo. Sorry for the big long spiel, but it's rare to meet someone who's not a pro and wants to run with this condition - at least it is from where I'm from. So I'd love to hear your experience. What you're doing to treat/mitigate it and what running shoes you went with in the end? Doing all my stretches everyday! I'm doing so many heel lifts that I've noticed my calf muscles are getting a nice bit of definition! I wouldn't mind but it wasn't even running that gave me this - it was a naïve return to playing football...
@@mrmansmith4154 Yeah they felt really good. A bit too much cushion for me. Glad they're working out for you. Best of luck with it and I hope the plantar fasciitis resolves itself for you soon.
