MizunoMen's Wave Legacy

Good shoes. I sized these with all my other tennis shoe types and it runs true to size for me. Walked around for several hours with no hot spots, or rubbing issues. The shoes are very comfortable and look good as well. The support is good and connects well with all parts of the foot. The durability is the only issue because my big toe comes up against the fabric mesh construction, and this construction, while very comfortable, is also thin. I have another pair of Nike that have worn a hole through the fabric right where my big toe pushes up. I have no doubt based on common sense and physics, that this pair will eventually do the same in time.

I acquired my first pair of Mizuno's several years ago. They have been dedicated to being my treadmill shoes. I found them very comfortable and have put lots of miles on them over the last 10 years or so. I still use them even though they are beginning to look very used. I saw these, liked the style and sprung for them for casual wear. They are also very comfortable and look every bit as good as the picture. I look forward to many years of wear with these as well.

Love these shoes! I wear these daily where I’m on my feet at work every day. They are great value for the price and are very supportive. They fit great and I have had Previous pears last for a few years. Will continue to buy this great brand.

These may be keepers. First impressions of my pair lay out as follows: Very comfortable for a medium width foot with a long, lowish arch. Almost too loose in the heel, but using the heel lock (that extra lace hole) fixes that. The heel counter is among the best. And the heel collar is thick enough to feel supportive and secure, but not so thick as to feel confining or bulbous. The insole is of average quality; best to replace it with a serious insole. The tongue isn't gusseted, but it's wide enough to cover my instep and leave no sock showing. And there's a keeper loop on the tongue(s). The midsole has enough squish to ease joint pain from heel strikes, but not so squeezey as to feel like all the new mega-foam midsoles, the massive squishy foam density of which only serves to stress the metatarsal's and cause aching and pain, especially if you're a walker. The outsole leans toward cheap--1 to 1.5mm, and probably won't last over 100 miles.Nice features include a vertical reflective stripe on the pull loop, and the trademark "Wave" insert that runs half the length of the midsole. To me, this version of the wave provides a quick three-prong sequence: landing stability, shock absorption, and minimal rebound.About the wave plate: I think the application of the plate could be much better. On my pair its edges aren't sculpted to make it look like it disappears smoothly into the insole. In other words, it looks crudely applied. On the other hand, it feels effective. Whether it stays in place over the long haul, I can't say.

Nervous why you ask? Well I stuck with looking for informatinn on this sue because I wasnted a red shoe with white foam. Simple and classic. Now the nerious part. There is no information on any mizuno site about them. there are no reviews. no comparisons. Nada.. Best I can surmise they are made for Amazon only. But I did the leg work with the foam, upper, the running plate and even comared other "wave" shoes for profile. Now the good news. I'm 6' 250lbs man. the second i put them on they were comfortable. Easily as good as my Brooks Ghost 15's. So don't fret if you got no info to find. Been on my feet all day. Light and comfortable Oh and I am a diabetic as well with inserts fit fine.

Used to buy only Mizuno for court play, but now I buy then for work. Best shoe ever!

I was always a new balance customer until I found these. The Mizuno brand is so much lighter and the structural support feels so much better. I’m over 300 pounds with a size 15 foot so my shoe makes a big difference in my life :-) these won’t let you down.

Very happy with purchase. Comfortable fitTrue to size
