MizunoMen's Wave Sky 5 Running Shoe

This is my 12th pair of Mizuno Men's running shoes. Before various foot and leg surgeries, I ran in Mizunos, but now I can no longer run; however, I can walk and exercise (and hike -- just with different shoes). I graduated from Sky Wave 4 and bought two pair of the Sky Wave 5s to use after hip replacement surgery. I found that my older shoes were not supportive enough (running shoes of any kind lose their support as mileage increases). In fact I couldn't get a block down the street with my old shoes and new hip. I also bought a pair of Sky Wave 6s and compared it to the 5. For me, the 5 was just a tad more comfortable for my situation. I am 6 months into my new set of Mizuno Sky Wave 5's and 6's. They still feel like new. I have a fairly narrow foot except for the toe box, and these grip my heel and snug down nicely. The toe box is roomy enough for my bunion. I do not use the very top lace eyelet which for me is too restrictive. Even at that the shoes give me a level heel-toe stride, and do not ride up. I live in these!

I usually buy ON shoes but, I was tired of shelling out the money for sneakers that don't last very long. These however have held up great!

I've been running in Mizunos for years so I may be a bit biased however I found nothing works better for me when it comes to an everyday trainer I can abuse and put a lot of miles on in many different conditions. I am a pretty avid runner (20-40mi per week) for over 13yrs. I would say Mizunos don't really excel in any one area but I love they're versatility and I can depend on them whether it's running on a treadmill, the road, or light trails and grass. These are also good if I'm doing something like running with weight (plate carrier) as they are firm and very stable. Something I wouldn't do with most other running shoes. Heel cup and foot grip are perfect everytime which is actually the one particular area where I feel Mizunos do excel. For the price I really don't think you can do better. Get these and pair them with a lighter and faster "race day" shoe and this will take care of most people's running needs.Pros:- Durable quality build/ stable underfoot- Consistent heel cup and foot clampdown- Treadmill, road, or light off road- Great valueCons- Heavier/ not a speed shoe- Doesn't excel in any area- Aesthetically average

Great quality

ON TIME DELIVERY

Inside of the back heel wore down to the foam on both shoes within weeks. Had them repaired.

The media could not be loaded.  Great shoes. I got the 11.5 wide, and the fit is tremendous. Very high quality material, comfortable durable sole. Made by a company that is not woke, which is important to me.

You feel like floating! I might order another pair

I've always had a hard time finding sneakers that are comfortable. You pay over $200 for high end shoes and it feels like you're walking on the floor with a piece of thin rubber between your foot and the ground.Mizuno sneakers feel great. I've had many brands from Asics, Nike, Saucony, etc... Mizuno are now my go-to sneaker.
