Runner's World Awards: Best Buy

WE SAY: The Inspire 3 is a great shoe for the money. The new midsole is three millimeters wider, which gives the shoe a bit more stability. Mizuno softened the outsole and the outer edge of the Wave plate for a quieter, more cushioned feel on the roads. Also, a notch of pliable fabric has been added to the eyelet area for improved comfort on the top of the foot. We recommend the Inspire for runners with normal to low arches, or lightweight runners who need plenty of rearfoot stability with a flexible forefoot.

WEAR-TESTERS SAY: "I really liked how flexible these shoes are."--Sara Jones Ratcliff, 29, San Diego

"Very light and breathable, with great stability."--Mark Fennell, 30, Allentown

A nice, lightweight ride that provides some stability. I love the flexibility and the wider forefoot strike area. A great shoe for training on concrete or asphalt. .

The mizuno Wave Inspire 3 is a great shoe. Light weight with great stability. It can get a bit to soft on longer runs but over all an awesome shoe for a great price!.

Im new to fitness running, so in the process of buying new shoes, i tried out so many of them! The only shoe that stood out from the rest in comfort, stability, looks, and breathability was this shoe! Buy it!.
