MizunoMen's Wave Neo Ultra Running Shoe

As expected, the quality is phenomenal ; reliability and the build is also excellent , it will probably outlast the Nike Alpha Fly's . The fit is perfect. If you like a snug fit and wear thin socks, I suggest you wear half a size smaller; if you like to wear thick socks go with ur reg. size.The Alphafly's in my pics have done about 200miles on pavement and as u can tell they are maybe 1/2 way to Eol- the sole at least;Back to the Mizuno's ! As I had mentioned before, the fit is perfect, the way it encapsulates the feet acts as perfect glove, and not only that, but compared to the feel of Alphafly's you have more traction, prob. also because of the small blue octopuses on the soles; those are really a very good innovation.Another important aspect is their breatability which is also excellent.For the ultimate protection of this impeccable design and craftsmanship, I suggest you always wash your WAVE NEO ULTRA in cold water for about five minutes after each run that last longer than 45 minutes !The custom lacing for my pair or pairs was done by a highly skilled Japanese Pro, a sword master Mr. Shrewzukey Sakazaki , is a fifth generation master. That is a very high skill art , do not attempt to do this or you will ruin your laces or the shoes. did you see the laces are perfectly so there's no time wasted and it hugs perfectly because the measurements were done like I said before by the PRO , and it is the shoe laces ends burned off using the ancient tradition of the QuarryHiri. That is no replication of this tehnique.AGAIN, this shoes are the supreme excellence of the most highly coveted, perfect running masterpieces.I will attempt now to secure a second pair ASAP. They should be at least 275$ , better QUALITY AND RELIABILITY THEN THE NIKE ALPHAFLY !!The other Mizunos are still very good, but now the Wave Neo Ultra has SUPREMACY.

The media could not be loaded. I have a LOT of experience with running shoes, used to own a sporting goods store called "Runner's Roost", and as you can tell by the name running was my specialty. Mizuno usually runs true to size, these are no different, I take a USA Men's 10, that's what I got, they fit perfectly.NOTE: I have a wider forefoot, Mizuno is a medium to wide last (width) so they fit me perfectly, however if you have a very narrow foot these may not be the best.The midsole (white and blue part of the shoe) is extremely cushioned, yet feels surprisingly stable, which is good since I tend to pronate a bit (common running pattern where your feet upon impact tend to roll inward towards your arch). Unfortunately, I am older now and do not run much like I used to, but I tested these out today on an easy 3 miler and they were simply awesome. Being so lightweight and comfortable they would make great casual shoes also if you're not into running.There are a couple warnings on the shoes, one is about the possibility of slight discoloration depending on the situation, this is common, extended periods of sunlight can darken the materials sometimes, especially when dealing with white, but this seldom happens.The other warning, if you know the functionality of athletic shoes, is straight forward. ALL running shoes are only made for forward motion like walking, jogging or running, NOT for lateral (side to side) motion like tennis, basketball or any other court sports. You are raised up in running shoes due to the thick cushioning layer in the midsoles and are basically sitting on top of the shoe, so they would tip over fairly easily if you used them for lateral movement, super high risk of ankle injuries. Court shoes are built lower to the ground and you sit inside the shoe, not on top, offering real good support for side to side. The tradeoff, running shoes can be much softer and more comfortable due to the design, courts shoes less so, if you plan on playing pickleball in these I would highly recommend you do not, get court shoes instead.

Usually I like extra space but I heard these shoes run long. So I ordered a half size down. Shoes arrive 5 days after the order and are too long even a half size down. I return them the day of for another half size down. Shoes arrive 5 days after the return is processed and are still too long. Amazon refuses to replace the shoes for a half size down and since I got them on sale the refund won't cover the cost of buying a pair in the correct size. Don't buy shoes from Amazon.
