Boston 13, saucony ride 18/19 or endorphin azura?
Hi everyone! I am heavy runner, about 230lb, 5.11.Already own nimbus 27 and wave sky 9, but want something firmer, with lower stack and faster. Right now choose between those 3 shoes, but i want something durable, that will last long. What would you recommend guys? Thanks in advance!
Aero burst is like walking on rubber. Not as stable but nice. It is a firmer version of the vomero plus. Wave sky 9 has a lot of cushion but doesn’t feel like a max cushion shoe. Very planted.
I have the Neo Vista 1, Neo Zen, Wave Sky 9 and two Neo Vista 2s. I converted my Wave Sky 9 to a walking shoe since I’m on my feet at work all day and they’re supportive and comfortable. Neo Vista 2 is my favorite Mizuno running shoe. Went 1/2 size down. If you enjoy the Neo Zen you will not be disappointed. Definitely 💯 percent worth a try.
The Neo Vista 2 is a great, fun shoe for your long runs, training long runs. The Wave Sky 9 will pamper your feet for recovery runs, when your legs are beat up.
I have run in all of them accept the rise 3 and to me, the Wave Sky 9 fits the bill. It’s definitely the most cushioned, easy, long run shoe. The other shoes are max cushioned but have some performance qualities, push you to go a bit faster.
I think the wave sky is a great shoe, I love Mizuno, the Neo Zen, the Neo Vista . . . I was just trying to stay within ASICS since OP has gotten along well with the brand.
I have Neo Zen's, Vista 1 and 2, Wave Rider 29 and Wave Sky 9. As the commenter below stated, the Wave Rider 29 is definitely the most traditional but I can't stress enough how different they are the Wave Rider 28. They CRUSHED IT with the foam in the 29. It's SO comfortable. I bought a 2nd pair in a more neutral colorway just to wear to work.

Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.
