Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Inspire 20

Mizuno has been my go to brand for many years and they didn't disappoint with their Wave Inspire 20. I love the teal color, but more importantly, the comfort and fit are spot-on.

Good shoe, but not for overpronation. I overpronate, and this shoe actually seemed to turn my ankle inward, so if you overpronate, this show is not for you. Other than that, it seemed like a good shoe, just not for me.

Ordered 8.5 and 9 as I recall Mixunos ran short. I ran yrs ago in Horizons which I loved. These were cushy ( too much ) and the 8.5 was too short. Big toe hit. 9 felt bigger everywhere. Toe box heel and length.

needed half size larger - super comfortable for 12hr shifts!

This shoe, while just a little bit heavier than others, has the best support I've found yet. And it's cushy. If they weren't so expensive I'd buy more pairs. It's the first time I've tried their brand and while all the styles aren't like this one, this one is wonderful for me.

very comfortable walking shoe

I normally wear Brooks and these seem very similar in fit and appearance. I need a wide width for my bunions and these fit well, roomy in the toe box.

I love everything about these sneakers! The color, the fit, the feel. I'm a longtime Mizuno customer and these are my favorites since my 2012 or 13 Wave Elixers. :) I am one happy shopper!

I overpronate and need a good stability shoe when I run. I also have hallux rigidus and need a wide toe shoe to help keep pressure off that joint. Stiff shoes also help keep the joint happy. I was running in sauconys and brooks but both changed their models and I was not quite comfortable in the new models. The sales girl recommended I try these on. They fit your feet so well! It’s like a hug on. I got them in wide width and my joint is happy. They do not have a ton of cushioning in them which I wish they had but the fit of the shoe makes up for it. Bc they’re not super cushioned, there is great road feel. They are also very light. These have been my go-to shoe for the last 2 years.

I ordered it because Wave Inspire 18 was unavailable. I got the wide size and the toe box provides enough room to wiggle my toes. The arch feels good, I have high arches and usually Mizuno Wave Inspire fits it well. I tried them at home and they fit and feel good but unfortunately I have not been able to wear them because of the rainy weather in California. I will update the review once the weather changes...;)

I love my mizunos I have been wearing them for the last 15 years

These are attractive sports shoes that are very comfortable. As I said before, I have a hard time finding shoes for my feet that are comfortable and long enough for my 10 feet which means a 10 1/2 shoe.

These and the Wave Inspire were pretty close in fit and feel, however I still felt like the back of the heel bottom was pushing my foot forward. It even seems the toebox has a "well" area for your toes to drop into so you don't hit the end of the shoe. I debated quite a while about keeping these, however, ultimately the fit just didn't work for me- pretty close, however, not quite right.

I haven't ever tried Mizuno before, so I was interested in a new brand. At first I thought they might make the cut, however, they have a very large, and rather odd, heel structure. It feels like it's trying to push my foot forward or sideways, or something off balance. I debated for quite a while, and ultimately decided to return them. I'm trying Brooks next.

They felt tight which I find uncomfortable, though some might appreciate a close fit. I I wanted a cushioned, non-rocker sole walking shoe but these aren't the ones. They also were too narrow for wide feet such as mine.
