Reviews will say this shoe is boring compared to super shoes and other brands. But you can’t beat the way mizuno’s geometry works on the foot while running. Compared to the wave rider 23 and Waveknit 3 these have so much more energy return. I tend to supinate, have a high arch, and have a little narrow feet and the 9.5 is fine but I understand why some say it runs small. My break in run had me run Blake615 · hibbett.com
