Customer Reviews Mizuno Mizuno TC-01

I really liked these and they seemed like they would be really good shoes for training; however, I had to return them because they didn't fit my feet. I have low-set ankle bones and the sides of these came up too high to be comfortable for lifting and interval training sessions. I consistently wear a size 9 and the 9 in these fit good. They were comfortable with enough padding to be comfortable, but not so much that they felt bulky. The shoes fit snuggly and my foot didn't move around in the shoe when doing fast, lateral movements. You can feel little bumps in the sole of the shoe from the Mizuno® COB midsole. It definitely felt a little unusual, but I am intrigued if it really does help give feedback about the ground. I like the booty construction, but there was something weird about how they did the lacing. The laces seemed too short if you used all the holes, but if you didn't use the last set of holes, the laces end up on the inside of the shoes, which didn't seem comfortable. Maybe I was just being stupid about it, though.

I like these shoes so much that I had to write my first review. I bought these for training in the gym. I’m not a gym rat by any means, but I work out a few times a week to keep healthy. These shoes are so nicely fitted around the ankle. They’re snug but not tight. The toe box is breathable. You don’t even have to tie the laces; these shoes just fit. They don’t have much cushion on the bottom, but that makes sense for a training shoe, which should be flat. I’m very pleased with this purchase and would shop Mizuno again.

Love the fit and feel of this shoe. Perfect for cross training.

Still on the fence about these bc of the fit. The glove fit is nice for double unders (I like the ankle stability) and I imagine it'll be good for sudden stops during HIIT training sessions. But they're super hard to pull on and the laces seem mostly decorative. There's a perfect amount of wiggle room in the toe box, width is good (11.5 M for a normally 11M foot w/a bunion on one foot). Debating whether to go to a women's 12, a full size larger than usual, bc I must wear these with custom orthotics. There's no insole or built-in support in these shoes. Without the orthotic, they'd be a perfect fit, but with it, and knowing that I'll be wearing thicker socks in the winter, I'm not sure if they'll stretch enough to accommodate.

These shoes felt markedly smaller than other Mizuno's I have worn. The lack of an insole seemed reasonable for a training shoe, however, I could feel the stitching on the bottom of my foot which was much too uncomfortable for me. It may just be a result of them being incredibly narrow, but they just wouldn't work for me.

I should have never selected these shoes! Who makes white fabric athletic shoes that can't be washed!!! Stupid. They also have no insole! Hard insole and too white to wear
