zapatillas de running Mizuno neutro talla 37 blancas | Our verdict

We put the Lace-up running shoe featuring breathable upper in in classic 3D Mizuno Fit 19 to the test and it really stood out in the stability category. Its well-crafted upper, exceptional grip, and durability impressed us, especially on wet surfaces, gravel roads and easy trails. However, it's best suited for those who prefer a significant heel drop, and we also noticed that the upper isn't ideal for hot weather.

We think that the Lace-up running shoe featuring breathable upper in in classic 3D Mizuno Fit 19 is a good choice for:

  • Runners seeking a reliable mild stability daily trainer that offers exceptional durability, if a little extra weight is not a concern.

Who should NOT buy

For those with narrow feet, the Wave Inspire 19 may not be the best fit. We think you should consider exploring other options in the mild stability category, such as the Saucony Tempus or the Mizuno Wave Creation 12 with its renowned GuideRails technology.

Additionally, the Wave Inspire 19's significant heel-to-toe drop might not cater well to forefoot or some midfoot strikers. In our view, alternatives with a lower drop, such as the Hoka Arahi 6 or the Pala Mizuno DryLite preto, Sowie Mizuno Wave für große Stabilität.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Since the shoe is clearly designed for heel strikers, we weren't surprised when we measured a 38.2 mm heel height, which is a bit above average.

However, this doesn't rule out forefoot or midfoot strikers—just makefamous that you're opting for a shoe with a significant drop, complete with its unique characteristics, as we've detailed zapatillas de running Mizuno neutro talla 37 blancas.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

In the midsole, we discovered the Mizuno Enerzy Lite foam. This TPE-based foam enhances the cushioning by 17% and energy return by 15% over a regular EVA foam, marking a significant upgrade.

During our test runs, the shoe felt well-balanced yet not overly plush (19.8 HA), which appears to be the right choice for a shoe designed with mild pronators in mind.

The difference is just 16.5% from the room-temperature reading, showing that the performance holds up well in different weather conditions. This aligns with the benefits of TPE foams over EVA, enhancing performance as we've shown in this article.

Toebox width - widest part

We're happy to share that the toebox is designed as the midsole, so it's a real treat for runners with wide feet. Measuring at a whooping 102.4 mm, it offers ample room for your feet.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The Wave Inspire series aims to combine a standard daily trainer with a stability shoe. This mix creates a hybrid that's perfect for runners with mild stability needs or those who want a more stable feel on certain days.

And the shoe really delivers on stability for most runners. Mizuno has managed to do this without adding bulky elements to the upper, which is a big plus.

Torsional rigidity

Looking at torsional rigidity, Mizuno played it safe and stuck to what you'd expect from a regular daily trainer, earning a 3/5 score from us.

This approach makes the shoe very comfortable for daily wear and easy runs.

Mizuno took an aggressive approach with the heel counter to enhance stability and differentiate this shoe from a neutral daily trainer. Scoring a 5/5, it's exceptionally rigid—our video showed it hardly flexed at all.

This design is spot-on for the shoe's target users, predominantly heel strikers. It ensures reliable support, particularly benefiting mild pronators needing some guidance.

Mizuno Wave Zest J1GR188571

A major factor in the enhanced stability of this shoe, compared to other daily trainers, is its width. Measuring at 117.8 mm, it provides a broad landing platform that boosts stability at any pace.

This generous width is a key feature, contributing to a stable and secure feel underfoot for those with mild pronation issues.

The heel design is crucial in this shoe because that's where the majority of Wave Inspire users will make contact with the ground.

This broader heel, when combined with the stiff heel counter, allows for a stable shoe that avoids the need for additional, obtrusive elements like medial posts.

The result is a seamless and supportive ride that enhances stability in a non-intrusive way, perfect for long runs where comfort is key.

Flexibility / Stiffness

We had the idea that the Mizuno Wave Plate in the midsole might lead to a stiffer shoe.

But when we put it to the test in our lab, bending the shoe to a 90-degree angle took only 16.1N of force. This means the plate keeps the shoe comfortable, not overly stiff.

We applied the same freezing method as we did for the softness test to gauge the shoe's response to cold conditions.

We found that it took 20.1N of force to flex the shoe to 90 degrees again, yielding a result quite close to the previous one.

We've seen a solid 25% increase, a performance that surpasses most options on the market. This impressive result highlights the great performance of the TPE-based Enerzy Lite foam.

Weight

We feel that for the 20th edition of the Wave Inspire, Mizuno really needs to trim a full centimeter off the outsole.

At 10.3 oz or 293g, the shoe tips the scales a bit too much, and with the use of their tough X10 rubber, they definitely could find a sweeter spot between durability and a lighter weight.

Breathability

Mizuno chose a Jacquard mesh upper for the Wave Inspire 19, and we noticed one potential downside: breathability. The intricate patterns woven into the thick engineered mesh upper can restrict airflow.

In our lab, we tested the Wave Inspire 19 using a smoke-pumping machine and rated its breathability at 3 out of 5.

That's not great for hot summer runs, but if you're running in cooler or mild climates, it strikes a nice balance between ventilation and keeping your feet warm.

We then shone a powerful light through the upper. And we found that the shoe allows air in only through the toebox, not the midfoot. This is perfectly logical, as the Wave Inspire 19 is designed for mild stability, which necessitates a certain level of structure in this area for proper support.

Zooming in with our microscope, we determined that there are no ventilation holes, which explains the lower breathability score when compared to the average shoe.

Lastly, we observed that Mizuno really focused on comfort for this shoe. The upper is super padded and layered, which feels great but doesn't do much for airflow.

Toebox durability

Shoes with low breathability can sometimes be more durable because of thicker materials.

When we put the WI19 through our J1GD201644 test to check durability, it got just an okay result with a score of 2 out of 5.

It's a good result, especially considering the generous, plush padding in that area, which often affects a shoe's ability to hold up over time.

Outsole hardness

We turned the shoe over to examine the durability of Mizuno's X10 rubber on the outsole.

The midsole features a big central cutout to minimize weight, yet the foam is largely covered for extensive protection. This cutout also serves to efficiently drain water and showcase the Mizuno Wave Plate.

To assess its hardness, we used our Shore C durometer and measured the rubber at 82.3 HC, which is about average for a daily trainer's outsole.

This excellent score is a testament to the quality of Mizuno's X10 outsole, renowned as one of the best in the market. Its carbon reinforcement—a unique approach in the industry—really makes a difference.

Tongue padding

The tongue, at 7.7 mm, is super-cushioned—almost to the point of excess given the shoe's significant weight. We think shaving off a millimeter or two could be a clever move for v20.
