The reason being is that I now live overseas and can't get hold of Mizuno, but I do have access to Asics at very good prices (and no, they're not fakes!). My serious question is that I have been advised/prescribed Mizuno Wave Inspire shoes for many years because of my gait/pronation, etc, etc, and they've been great. Can anybody tell me what the Asics equivalent of Wave Inspire would be ?? Thanks in advance !

When I worked (briefly) worked in a running shop Mizuno was what we offered folk who had injury niggles and needed space to wiggle their toes. Nike might be an option for the cushioning but I didn't find them that supportive.
