Questions & Answers

Do you have any extra-wide men's sneakers? I'm looking for a pair of shoes that are 13 inches wide. ?

I believe they have an extra wide option on the Mizuno website; perhaps you could look for it on Amazon.

How long do these running shoes come with a warranty?

Our Mizuno running shoes come with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. Thanks!

Is this a good pair of shoes for people who overpronate? Do you have a pair of flat feet? Strikers from the back of the field?

Overpronation is best, but flat feet or heel strikers may be a problem. They are well-fitting and extremely comfortable.

Is it possible to take out the insoles? My orthotics are made to order. ?

Yes. In all of our running shoes, the insoles can be removed.

Selected User Reviews For Mizuno Men's Wave Inspire 16 Running Shoe Road

Purchase the previous model to save money
3/5

The Mizuno Wave Inspire 15 is one of my favorite running shoes. Favorite shoes of all time So I was looking forward to seeing how the Inspire 16 had progressed. The solution is simple. Zero. The 16 is, in fact, a downscaled and lower-quality version of the 15. Less padding, less comfort, and a less expensive build. The foam lining around the heel collar has been reduced, which is my biggest gripe. My first run with the 16 resulted in a broken blister on my ankle due to collar abrasion. If Amazon requires proof, there is blood on the inside of my right shoe.

The sneaker is very nice
5/5

For many years, I was obsessed with zero drops, but I had previously owned very early Mizuno Wave models dating back nearly 15 years. My heels and tendons are no longer resilient enough to run in 3mm zero-drop running shoes on asphalt and concrete now that I'm over 50. While I still enjoy trail hiking in them, I am no longer able to run in them. br>br>I took a chance and bought these off Amazon without testing them first, and they turned out to be fantastic. I was prepared to return these or use bandaids or body glide to prevent issues because there is only a smidgeon of movement, which I feared would cause blisters or at the very least some skin issues, and I was prepared to return these or use bandaids or body glide to avoid issues, but surprisingly, up to 8. There have been no problems with the 5 mile runs so far. Great running shoes. br>br> br>br>However, on runs longer than 8, I am concerned about rubbing.

The Story of Cinderella Comes to an End
5/5

It fits me (and this metaphor) perfectly in the case of the glass slipper. It's been a long process of assessing my stance and gate, as well as purchasing shoes and soul inserts. Each one was either too big in the toes or too small in the bridge of my foot. Some people thought it was too tight, while others thought it was too loose. To make matters worse, there was a recurring ankle injury as well as what appeared to be shin splints. br>br>I've been running and jogging in these shoes for two weeks and haven't had any ankle pain or foot cramping. The "support" classification feels true to its name, and the sole isn't too big to get in the way of other workouts. It's difficult to criticize the shoe because it has alleviated minor aches and pains that were previously a hindrance during workouts. br>As time goes on, I may change my mind about the review. For the time being, the Frog has found his princess, and the metaphors are mingled.

This is my nth pair of Wave Inspires; they're a great shoe if your running profile is similar to mine
5/5

I've been running in them for a while, and my feet are almost flat (serious over-pronation). I am a lightweight (about 5-foot pronator), and I am a pronator. 8 and 130 are two numbers. 135 lbs. The shoe provides all of the support I require. I run on dirt paths as well as paved roads. The Wave Inspires are comfortable to wear on both feet. They last a long time. Running shoes must also be properly fitted. There are a plethora of excellent ones to choose from. These are what I'm wearing because they're comfortable and look good on me. I'm a mediocre person. I have wide feet but narrow heels, and I like how the shoes cradle them snugly so they don't lift out when I run. For comparison, the Asics GT-1000 is another shoe model that fits me well. The 1000-series Just because I like the Mizuno Wave Inspire's performance, I've decided to stick with it.

With only minor use, it wore out in four months
3/5

For the first few months, it was a very nice shoe. I've probably gone for a dozen 2-inch heels that are both light and supportive. In these, you'll be able to run 3 miles. I purchased them primarily for walking, going to the gym, and golfing. For some reason, after four months, both shoes have developed a hole in the padding behind my heel. They are, without a doubt, unwearable at this point. Very let down. I've previously owned several pairs of Mizuno Wave Riders that lasted for YEARS, so I'm not sure what happened to this model.

a company that is concerned with our well-being
5/5

  Good afternoon, I received these wonderful shoes two days ago, and today I tried them on and was pleasantly surprised. While I was waiting: It fits my pronated feet perfectly. Although I no longer jog due to knee and spine problems, I still need shoes for my pronating feet, and the size is ideal. I recall finding it difficult to find shoes that fit well a few years ago, and many brands still do not recognize that there are significant percentages of foot variations: They should think about important pronators and overlayers in their shoes. This shoe meets all expectations, at least mine, because it has designs that are on par with "normal" feet.

For a 3E, this isn't the best option
3/5

4E extra- a large foot This is a fantastic mid-priced option. Running shoe with added support. br>br>It should fit comfortably if you have a wide foot. br>br>If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be. If you're a wide-footed beast like me, it'll be a tight fit. After only two days of running, my feet were in excruciating pain. Despite this, I have another pair of running shoes that I am unable to use. I'm not sure I'll use them in the future.

This is a fantastic running shoe
5/5

I bought these to replace my last pair of Mizuno Wave Nirvanas, which were discontinued a long time ago (I had several pairs at the time and had just finished the last pair). This is the first time I've bought running shoes without first trying them on (not advisable, but desperate times call for desperate measures). I made a half-hearted attempt to buy a half-hearted attempt to buy Because I have Morton's toes and have developed black toenails for the first time in my 40 years of running, I needed a size larger than usual. These are just as good as the Wave Nirvanas, and they're a lot lighter. The chair is very comfortable and stable. I would strongly suggest it.
