My shoes are being discontinued:(

My running shoes are being discontinued:( I'm overly distraught about this - grrr.

Does anyone know what is replacing the Mizuno Wave Inspire 9's?

The good news is that DH is urging me to buy as many pairs that I can find - problem is I can't easily find my size:(

Oh no, that's awful! Definitely stock up on as many pairs as you can find. Your LRS might be able to recommend a new shoe when the time comes. Or heck, call and ask if they have any of the discontinued pair in stock. Check even places like Nordstrom for the discontinued pair.

I'm checking everywhere! I found a couple of pairs online at Dick's. I'm in mourning - I love my shoes:(

What size are you? My LRS has some on their online page. www.altituderunning.com

10 Wide - I'll check!

That's my shoe, too! I just went to a few of my LRS's and they were all out of my size, womp womp

The 10's are coming out pretty soon. Have you tried those out? I bet they are pretty similar, although not that pretty unfortunately. I couldn't find any of the 9's to stock up on either, but I've been on this shoe since the 5's. I doubt the changes will be drastic.

I was able to find two pairs online at Dick's so I ordered them - sucks to have to stock up on shoes while I;m Christmas shopping but at least I have some time to find a new show. 

Thanks for the tip on the 10's - I'll try them on the next time I'm in m LRS.

I just looked at the 10's - they are so ugly:(

[kams]

Seriously why the hell do they keep getting uglier? I was not pleased with orange or bright blue, either. I lucked out and found a pair of grey and purple.

They are so good at making wave riders look awesome! We get the shaft!

Totally agree! I am stuck with the bright blue because that's the only one that came in wide:(  The other color combos in the 10's make me want to barf. DH is totally making fun of me right now and calling me a shoe snob, lol:) 

[kams]

LOL - tell him this is SERIOUS BUSINESS!!

I think the slate is the best of the 3, but I really don't like black running shoes.
