First thing that drew me in about these shoes was the color. I love fun colors for running shoes, so these met that requirement for me. I’ve never had Mizuno shoes for running before so I was a little uncertain how I’d like them. (I usually buy ASICS, Saucony or New Balance.) I read a lot of online reviews that were mostly positive all around for Mizuno running shoes, so I decided to give them a shot. I’ve taken them out for a few runs now and so far so good! They’re comfortable and fun. I’ve read many reviews of people saying these shoes run small. That is NOT my opinion at all! I bought my normal shoe size and they fit like every running shoe I’ve ever had in that same size, so no issues with sizing for me at all. Width is a standard medium width as well; they don’t feel narrow to me. The other thing I was looking for in a pair of running shoes is a durable outsole. I do not know why, but it seems all running shoe brands are switching to a foam sole with a very thin lining of rubber. Those foam soles do not last long at all! The rubber on those wears out so quickly which is ridiculous when you’re spending $150+ on a shoe! Now, These Mizuno’s have a “normal” standard sole with a thicker rubber lining that will take a long time / many miles to wear down. They’re like the running shoe soles that all companies used to have. I wear my running shoes into the ground and really get my use out of them, so with these Mizuno soles, I’ll certainly be getting my money’s worth!Long story short, these shoes run true to size, are comfortable and they have a durable outsole that is bound to last for quite a long time. It’s the first time I’ve tried Mizuno running shoes, but I’m guessing it will not be my last! No regrets with my purchase.
