Where are my fellow Mizuno Wave Inspire runners?

[cinco]

Any one try out the 10's yet? They seem to get mixed reviews online, and I am up for another pair. They have new technology. Lighter weight. Dude, I don't care about these things, I just don't want to get injured NOW. 

[mrshandy]

Nope it just switched over to the 9s with my last pair. Lol I guess I'm behind.

[kams]

I am feeling the same way!! NOT the right time!

I haven't tried them either, but my club has a discount shopping night on Weds at a local shop so I will pick some up then. I hope they are ok. I loved the 8s better than the 9s, so I'm a little nervous

Whyyyyyy the changes?! Why?!

[Raggedeannie]

So should I get another pair of 9s on discount? My size (monster 11) is still available online.

Thanks! They don't have my size, but maybe it will help someone else.

I haven't tried the 10s. I would try and find 9s if you can given where you are in training. Check holabirdsports.com. They often have old models. For what it's worth my sister wears inspires and she hates the 10s. Not that this would be the case for you.

I've checked everywhere. It's an obsession   At least you guys validate me. The hubs thinks I'm nuts!

[thom]

Not the inspire, but I wear the wave rider 15's (and the current model is the 17) so I totally get where you're coming from.

What size are you looking for cinco (if you want to share?)

I'm currently scouring the Internet for one last pair of 15's, so I could just as well look for yours too.

[chw57]

I wore inspire 4,5 and 6 and whenever it was that they made the huge change, I stopped wearing them. Now I'm hopelessly addicted to brooks pure cadence and I'm not sure I'll ever go back, especially with all the mixed reviews...

You are so sweet. i wear a 9. Good luck finding your 15's!

Ohh, maybe i'll try the Pure Cadence. It's good to know what other formers are wearing now.

My friend and I were just discussing this yesterday. She runs in the 10s, she said they have never felt quite right and she's been in them for at least a month or two.

Gahhhh. I think I'll get them now, just so I can figure it out. I feel like the 9's I'm wearing have a while longer, so maybe I'll save them for long runs and the marathon.

[enfuego23]

havent tried the 10's yet b/c my f'ing pelvis is still broken - i bought 2 new pairs of the 9's which should hold me over for awhile once I can run again

That sounds like a good plan.

Can I just say that choosing shoes is the part I dread the most about running? Luckily the Saucony Guide 7s have been working well for me so far. 

[thom]

cinco, not sure how you feel about the Wave Inspire 8's (or eBay) but these are a size 9 and say brand new.

m.ebay.com/itm/281286205108?nav=SEARCH

eBay is the only place I've found my 15's, but they are all pretty used looking...

I think I may need to get over it and buy a different shoe.

[CallingAllAngels]

I'm well into my last pair of 9s now, but I much prefer the 8s. I don't know what to do when these shoes are done.

This is me too. I alternate between the 9's and cadences and can switch between them pretty easily. I love the cadences because they are so light!

[cinco]

I have a pair of 10's on the way. I'll report back!

[kams]

Just picked up a pair of 10s! They are light, and not as ugly as I initially thought they were! I'll report back after I really run in them.

[cinco]

So far, so good. I used them on the TM and they feel pretty similar. Phew.

[mrshandy]

Looking forward to hearing reviews!

[kams]

They feel fine for me! I love that they are a little bit lighter weight!

[jenni232323]

I've been in the 10s for about a week now - they are really light and breath great. The toe box is huge, I'm still trying to find the most comfortable lace pattern. The support is great for me on the sides, heel and ankle. The second I put them on, they formed to my feet, felt broken in immediately. My only concern is my right shoe feels like the support sunk under the ball of my foot, but I'm going to stop at the running store for them to check to see if it's all in my head. I got the dark blue "slate", a friend's in the white rainbow and she likes my slates better. She has wide fee and said they're really comfy to her.

[cinco]

i have the slate too. I've used them several times now, including on a long run, and I think I like them better than the 9's (looks aside). The slightly larger toe box is working out well for my swollen toes. I'm alternating now, but I'm leaning towards the 10's for my marathon.

[CallingAllAngels]

Hmm, I've been getting small (but not painful) blisters on my toes lately in my 9s. I was thinking of sizing up for the 10s, but maybe the bigger toe box will do the trick.

[mrshandy]

My 10s should be arriving soon. I have to say though, I was not impressed with the color options. I like the 9 or 8 colors better.

Agreed. They are ugly. I rarely choose a conservative color for running shoes, but I think the slate/grey was better than the others.
