Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've worn inspires since the days of the 3s and I think that they improve with each generation and I couldn't change to anything else. I currently have two pairs of 7s on the go and I would agree that the front end lacks softness (as my black toes attest).

I have 2 pairs of 6s on the go at the moment. They were my first shoe, but I have never had a problem with them. Skipped the 7s after the bad reviews, but have a pair of 8s in the post right now. Will get back with my initial thoughts after a couple of break in runs.

Noticed this in the related threads so resurrecting it for the record:

For me, the Wave Inspire 5 was excellent. Got a few PBs and they lasted well in excess of the usual retirement mileage. The 8 was equally as good and durable.

I have also had the 13 and still using a pair of 16. They seem a bit firmer than before but are still my go to for running shoes, although I did try a pair of Wave Riders a few years' back.

Got something to say?

What (if any) differences are there between the Mizuno Wave Inspire 5 and later models (6, 7, 8)?
