i love the new AIR MAX by nike, i used them to hit the gym and run in, i used them for not even two month and i began to notice wear and tear and the air pockets ripped open, so i heard the mizunos nirvana 5′s are great so i just bought my first pair. I hope they work well in and out of the gym ill keep you guys posted.

I’ve really liked these shoes–easy on the feet and with a wide enough toe box to accomodate the beginnings of bunions (nice). I’m finding a little fatigue in the shape of the sole after 480 km or 3 months for me.
They are really nice and light–and well-priced, but I feel like I may be replacing them a little earlier than my new balance.

I started wearing the Inspire 4 two years ago. Unfortunately, it took several years and pairs to find the right shoe. They are comfortable, stable, and reasonably priced, and most importantly, they work for my flat narrow feet. If you are medium sized like me and are a moderate to severe pronator, these shoes may work very well. Let me add that I do replace the sockliners that come with the shoe, with Powerstep Pinnacle Insoles. A killer combo for ailing flat feet.

I am an Asics man, but that has changed. The health of my feet forced a decision to move away. Over the years, I have run in most name brand shoes. I did a lot of research on Mizuno before I chose this shoe. I liked the weight, feel, cushioning, and looks. This shoe felt good from the start. The only drawback to purchasing this shoe would be that it is in a competitive market. There are a lot of choices out there for runners. It is important for all types of runners to have a shoe periodization plan. I will be adding Muzino to the list.

Ah, wonderful! Just tried a pair as successors to last year’s Inspire 4′s which served me well in NYC marathon. I have flat feet but do not particularly pronate when I run. These 5′s have wonderful cushioning, are comfy and light and supportive without being disciplinary. And indeed plenty of toebox room, more so than in Asics — maybe my toenails will have a chance once they grow back.

This is a great shoe, and my first Mizuno. I ran with Asics for the longest time and decided to make the change. These were suggested to me by my local running store when the Asics I liked weren’t available. After the first run in them, I was hooked and never turned back. They are light and comfortable (since i’m a pronator) … the best thing is that the toe box is wide enough to not cause me black toenails on my 20+ milers (which I had problems with in Asics).
