The last model almost felt like it had a little too much volume vertically and I would get some rubbing from some of the overlays (in the mesh version). The ladies version has additional room at the ball of the foot and the upper overall, so females needing a shoe with a good amount of volume should check out the Inspire 17 wide.ĭavid: The Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 fits me true to size in my normal 9.5 To me this upper is a huge improvement from the prior model. There is a wide version of this shoe for those who need more space. The fit is average to slightly wide, with additional stretch from midfoot and forefoot as necessary. I did have to lace lock the heel as the midfoot and heel are more average width than snug. It is gusseted at the lower 1/3, but is free floating up top. The tongue is average thickness, but stays fairly secure. There is a heel counter, but the amount of cushioning in the upper protected my calcaneus (heel bone) very well. The upper is fairly plush, with a large amount of cushioning around the heel collar. The air mesh upper is very comfortable and I have worn this shoe sockless for 8 miles without issue. There is enough room for some toe splay, but without any loss of security.
The air mesh upper fits fairly normal in the heel and midfoot, but opens up in the forefoot. Matt: The Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 fits me true to size in my normal men's size 10.
