Mizuno Women's Wave Evo Ferus Trail Running Shoe

This is the first time I've ordered shoes online, but I used to sell Mizunos in a running store I owned. They were my personal favorite for running, and a favorite of my customers who wanted a light-weight, barely-there feel to their shoes. This pair did not disappoint for that very reason. Light as air, giving me the feel almost of barefoot running, which I would like to try at some point. These give just enough support for someone like myself who runs on the outer edges of my feet (a supinator). The shoe seems to automatically nudge me forward a little so that take off from the ball of the foot seems more natural. As a former heavy heal striker prone to shin splints, this style of shoe is perfect for me. Take the impact off your heel, and shin splints disappear -- at least for me. One tiny downside was when I wore them without socks, a few tiny pieces of gravel seeped in through the air vents on top of shoe. But because the shoes fit snugly, but very comfortably, like a soft foot-glove, I didn't get any rubbing. Probably will always wear socks on longer runs though. One more thing, the toe box is unusually shaped and very roomy. I usually wear a 9-1/2 in more traditional running shoes, but after reading another reviewer who said these seem to run big, I ordered a 9, and it's a perfect fit, roomy in toe box, but like a second skin at the same time. Really a neat shoe for me.

Usually, I keep my new shoes exclusively for running until they are too worn. These, I wear every day. They are so comfortable and versatile that I don't want to wear anything else. They are the perfect active mom shoe, taking me from my morning run to running around the playground to shopping without having to change shoes. The bottom is cushioned enough to run on the roads; the tread is secure enough to run through the sand; they are so lightweight and breathable that my feet stay dry for hours; and they fit snug in the heel to keep debris out but loose in the toes so there is no pressure. Above all, I love how incredibly flexible the sole is from front to back. There is no feeling of fighting my shoes to sprint off on my toes or when doing stretches and strengthening, but the sole is firm from side-to-side so that I do not over-pronate. I was worried when I first got them that they would press into my low arches and rub my heels but, after finally taking a run in them, they were perfect. These are my first zero-drop shoe and I did not have any trouble making the transition from my previous Mizuno stability shoes. I had planned to use these on speed and/or trail days and keep my more cushioned Inspires for long runs, but I think I may abandoned that plan on my next long run and give these a try. A note on sizing--I usually buy my running shoes a full size larger. Mizuno's website suggested just a half-size bigger and they fit perfectly.

I ordered these shoes based on the reviews I read that talked about how comfortable they were. I was not disappointed! I bought them for traveling shoes knowing that I would have to wear them all day and do lots of walking. I tried them out yesterday when I spent the day at an amusement park with my grandchildren. I was VERY impressed! I usually do not like to wear fitness shoes for very long periods because my feet get hot and uncomfortable after awhile. These shoes were different because of the mesh construction all the way around that kept my feet cool and comfy from early until late. They also fit so well that walking around a lot was not tiring, but actually felt really good, even at the end of a very hot day! I love these shoes! They are by far the most comfortable fitness shoes I have ever had!

I'm a loyal Mizuno wearer and I've always worn an 11( and I have a wide-but-not-flat-foot) but these were at least half size too big. Consider trying on in person or ordering a 1/2 size down.Other than that, great shoe.

I love my shoes! They are incredibly comfortable. I can wear them all day at both my jobs (working from 6:30am until 10pm) and my feet do not hurt at all. Only surprise I had was that the toes were wider than I expected based on the picture. That, however, was a pleasant surprise because that area of my feet is very wide so they fit even better than I was expecting.

These are the BEST running shoes. After running with blisters for four years I discovered these lovelies. Mizuno Wave Evo Ferus trail running shoes provide adequate cushion while allowing you to feel the ground and run in comfort. I have a narrow heel, medium foot width and low arches. I wear a EU size 38 and the 8.5 allows enough room for my Superfeet arch supports.

These shoes are a nice light cool feeling shoe in a great dark steel color with bright cheery pink laces. They fit to size. My feet feel so cool and light in them. Great for kicking around. But long days of walking or fitness walks should be for a more supported sneak.

Insanely comfortable right out of the box. I think the one star reviews that dis this shoe don't understand what a minimalist shoe is, and they were probably expecting something else. That's not a defect though. These are crazy affordable, comfy, zero drop, wide toe-box shoes that let your feet MOVE. The only thing I was surprised at was that in order to fit properly I had to ditch their removable insert. My feet are TINY, so when I order a shoe that's too tight I'm always surprised. I am a very narrow 6.5. For my foot, sans the insole, they are PERFECT. The heel is narrow and snug and yet the rest of the shoe is roomy and my toes can move. LOVE.

Reçues très rapidement, on s'y sent comme dans un chausson, je pense qu'il m'aurait fallu la taille en-dessous. Une semelle est le tour sera joué.

il look non è il top visto che la parte anteriore è troppo larga e non ha un bell'aspetto, sono scarpe essenziali, leggere per la corsa ma c'è di meglio

My favourite ever lightweight trails shoe for gritty off-road surfaces (also great on shortish road sections). It's not suited to serious mud, but is perfect for the semi-intrepid mid/forefoot runner. Now discontinued! Get it while you can.

Su drop 0 es ideal para la carrera natural, y su suela es muy muy cómoda. Eso si, en mojado no agarran nada.

these shoes are so comfortable, i don't want to take them off. I run flat and trail in them, they are not quite minimal, but very close. I would definitely buy another pair
