Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

Mizuno Wave Inspire 21 surprised me going off road. The grip on the back of these are great for trail, and the heal is not too high.
I bought a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 21 a few months ago and currently have 150 miles on them. They still look almost new with very little wear on the soles. I'm tired of all the cheap foam, especially on the HOKA and now the Saucony Kinvara I used to always buy, they immediately start wearing out after 50-100 miles. The Mizunos are not flashy but they get the job done with daily runs!
Mizuno Wave Inspire 22 is the stability shoe I use for longer runs. It is a huge inprovement on Wave 21 shoes and the form of the shoe adapts better to my unusual foot shape. Can recommend.
I run in Mizuno Wave Inspire 21s. I got them in an 8.5 in mens. I also have wide feet and a longer second toe. Additionally, I find many shoes run my heels. I have a hard time finding everyday shoes that are stylish. Bless the running store teenager, he called them unisex. I'm on my second pair.
I love my wave rider 26s. I recently tried on the 28s and 29s, but didn't care you for much cushion they added. So now I'm giving the Inspire 21s a spin. The 26s have far outlasted two pairs of Hokas, in terms of time and mileage.
Thanks! I'm not quite sure how I feel about them yet.
I also need a higher drop running shoe, it’s the only thing that reduces pain for my foot issues. The ones that work for me are the Mizuno Wave Inspire (12mm drop) or the Brooks Glycerine GTS (10mm drop).
