About this deal

Darn good integration of Wave plate mid foot pronation control/ support and propulsion forward. Noticed and effective but not in the way, particularly as pace increases Sam/Joost/Jana Amphipod Hydraform Handheld Water Bottle: Perfect for long runs when you need hydration in the summer

Jana: This shoe strikes a good balance between comfort, responsiveness and support. If you want a responsive shoe for your easy runs, this shoe definitely delivers. Happy feet! Sam: The others have described the outsole well. It should prove very durable and I particularly noted its excellent traction on loose sand over pavement along the coast. I always try to evaluate the impact of the outsole on the ride. Of course here the eye is drawn first to the 2 deeply separated rear pads. The geometry allows the foot to flow forward easily at all paces with plenty of stable heel landing despite the looks.

Today, Mizuno has a reputation for creating durable and supportive shoes that work well for day-to-day training. That said, they’ve also made some exciting racing shoes, such as the Wave Rebellion Pro, which brought the brand into the “ super shoe” era. The G3 compound used in the outsole saves weight over traditional rubber, and has been enhanced with a more durable G3-DR compound to keep it durable. As a result, it’s built to withstand plenty of mileage. Joost: The outsole is made of 3 parts. The lateral heel is made of a tougher rubber than the rest to cater for heel strikers. The lateral forefoot is separated from the medial piece of outsole rubber by a curve of midsole rubber with a cut out groove in the heel section, exposing the plate. This works really well, without being overbearing. I feel there’s just enough added stability to make it a great shoe for tired feet and legs. The foam feels comfortably soft, while still keeping a good degree of rebound and responsiveness. The forefoot is fairly flexible. A traditional 12mm drop might be noticeable by some, but is definitely not a deal breaker and I personally think there’s a place for all sorts of drops in a decent running shoe rotation. The scaffolding-like geometry of the sides of the plate are clearly functional. One has a sense of a platform of support under the rear and mid foot and less of a “wall” of firm support as in many firmer foam posted or side plastic stability shoes.

Jana: There is a fairly hard rubber covering the midsole which has great traction. I have used them on wet surfaces (thanks to many snow/rain storms lately), and had no problems at all. I have not run enough miles in them so far to be able to say anything about durability, but after ~ 60 miles there are no signs of wear as of yet. Fit: A- ( Snug heel with wider forefoot. Stiff but secure heel counter that will work well for some and not for others) DPT/Footwear Science: A- ( Excellent update to the midsole and wave plate that facilitates forward motion well)

Mizuno Wave Inspire 19 First Impressions

The midsole features a suite of Mizuno’s latest tech to help you power through your tempo runs and workouts. For cushioning, it features a combo of Enerzy and highly responsive Enerzy Lite foams for good energy return, with a specialized glass fiber wave plate that helps disperse impact forces and stiffens the shoe for increased stability and snap at toe-off. All applicable customs and import duties and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer. Joost: The midsole is made of 2 pieces of Mizuno Enerzy foam with the Wave plate inserted between them. The top bit of Enerzy foam goes all the way from the heel to the forefoot (blue above), while the bottom part (white) goes from the heel to the front eyelet. Reviewers also noticed the high heel-to-toe drop (the difference in height from your heel and toes) of 12 millimeters, which is high for your average road running shoe but pretty typical with brands like Mizuno and ASICS.
