      Comments about Mizuno Wave Inspire 8 Men Pewter/Anthracite/Cyber Yellow:

      I'm 6' and about 200-210 pounds on avg...I've worn Mizuno Wave Rider 10 & 11 a few years ago when I was below the 185 pound mark, and tried to go back to the Rider with their 15 "Ruby" edition. Didn't work, I tried about 120 miles over a month or so, and increasingly experienced progressing shin pain. I was fitted for a "Stability" instead of a "Neutral", and within about 2 weeks and 40-50 miles later, the pain was minimal and very shortly thereafter gone. I'll be following my 8's when they are unavailable with the 9's!!! Get 'em, run in 'em, and enjoy 'em!!!

        Comments about Mizuno Wave Inspire 8 Men Pewter/Anthracite/Cyber Yellow:

        I walk about 4 miles per day. I wear orthotics for pronation control, and I have to say that these are some of the must comfortable running shoes I've ever worn. The "wave" technology is something I hadn't seen before, but I must say I'm a fan. Tried some Brooks Adrenaline along with the Mizunos, but with the Brooks, it felt like there was a lump under my arches. These shoes are a perfect combination of comfort, cushioning and support.

          These are very good shoes. Light and comfortable. I don't know about durability yet since I only have 30 miles on the shoes, but the look good.

                A:

                The Mizuno Wave Inspire is pretty similar to the Mizuno Wave Nirvana, so it is definitely worth trying out. The Inspire does offer slightly less structure than the Nirvana, but it does still offer plenty of support for moderate overpronators. Additionally, the Inspire's upper might feel slightly lighter and more fitted in comparison with the Nirvana.

              • A:

                The stability isn't quite as good but it should still be a good shoe to run with.
