I've been a Mizuno fan for the last several years after switching from Brooks because they were giving me knee pain. Recent studies suggest that the best way to choose a shoe is to simply find one that fits your foot and that you find comfortable. The Wave Inspire is that shoe for me--I have slightly narrow feet and the shoe fits perfectly. It also gives enough cushion without being too cushioned. I pronate a bit (not extreme) and the shoe handles that, well, in stride (sorry could not resist the terrible pun).<br /><br />My only compliant with this shoe (and Mizuno shoes in general) is that the soles seem to wear faster than other brands.
