Mizunos for the win

I finally purchased a long overdue pair of sneakers.  After almost a year of switching between my asics and my brooks I am now the proud owner of the Mizuno Wave Inspire 8.  I have heard great things about Mizuno Wave Riders and read about the Wave Inspires in this month's Runner's World so I decided to give them a try.  I tested them out for a short run Wednesday and this morning and I am definitely a fan!



Thoughts:
-I really don't light shoes that are very heavy but need more support than the new light-weight running shoes provide.  The Wave Inspires are very light and flexible.  They were marked as shoes for stability though so they definitely provide enough support.
-They are narrow, which works for my feet but may not for everyone.
-The heel is higher than any other shoe I've worn and but cushioned.  They feel different but a good different.
-I've run about 7 miles in them and they felt great the whole time.

Let's hope I'm raving about these babies after 13.3 miles as much as I am today.  Philly half-marathon countdown- 2 days, ahhhh!!!!
