The Wave Inspire is Mizuno’s lightweight stability shoe, and it appears in our flat feet and Achilles tendonitis guides. The shock-absorbing midsole protects your feet and tendons from the repetitive impact of running, and a generous offset takes pressure off the Achilles.
A full rubber outsole gives high-mileage durability. It doesn’t have quite as much cushioning as heavier, built-up trainers, but it holds the foot incredibly well and feels light enough for faster days.
The Wave Inspire 22 is the current version.
Who it’s for: runners with flat feet or mild overpronation who want a lighter stability shoe.
