Mizuno Women's Wave Sky 5 Running Shoe, Size 11, Black (9090)

Went to a professional running store for recommendations on a shoe that could give me cushion and support as I work to increase my distance running. After trying on Brooks Ghost 14 and one of the New Balance Fresh Foam models, they slipped this Mizuno Wave Sky 05 on my foot. Admittedly, it does have a snug narrow foot fit but it certainly doesn't cramp your foot at all and the upper foot material is still very breathable. . For me, they are perfect! They almost feel painted on with an incredible sole that is springy and so lightweight that I don't feel or think about my feet or legs at all during pavement running. This is my first pair of Mizunos so I'm curious to see how they hold up long term. Right now, I'm an avid supporter.

I love running in this shoe. Historically Mizuno's have been too stiff for my liking, but this shoe combines firmness with cushion and ever so slightly more flexibility and it is heaven for me. I can do short fast runs, long runs, and medium runs in these. I would recommend sizing up a half size for these shoes. I would prefer a women's 9D, but since it's not in women's wide width yet I got a men's 7.5D and it's perfect.
