Review of Mizuno Women's Wave Elixir 8 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I never had a pair of Mizunos before so I decided to try this pair out. To my liking, the color was exactly like the photo. I did however need to return the first pair as the sizing seems to run a bit small. After wearing them one time I can say that I am a fan. They are very light and comfortable. I do lots of cross training and I can say that these are the right shoes for me. I usually have foot pain during workouts, but with this shoe it has not happened. I will be buying another pair.

I've been in Mizuno's for years but this is my first time buying the Elixir. I'm very impressed so far. The shoe is very light weight, breathable, fits my narrow foot well with just enough room in the toe box. The shoe also offers support for mild to moderate pronation. Overall a really nice shoe. My husband and kids think it's the coolest looking running shoe they've ever seen and wish it came in their size. I agree. It its pretty sharp with the comfort to boot!

Honest reviews on Mizuno Women's Wave Elixir 8 Running Shoe

I generally have worn a size 8.5 in running shoes, and moved up to a 9 in Mizuno. All of their shoes fit a tiny bit small, and frankly, you want them a tiny bit bigger anyway to allow for your feet to swell on long runs.

These are my go to shoes. I wear them happily for 10k and marathon distance. They are light, great cushioning, and have a reasonable heel drop. Not overly clunky like some of the Asics, but enough of a heel that you don't feel minimalist.

I have worn the Inspires (a bit more cushioning, but heavier, larger heel), and have tried the Sayonara, which is the shoes that the peeps at Mizuno have chosen to REPLACE my beloved Elixer. The Sayonara has a lower heel, and makes me feel like my feet are slapping, and give me shin splints. Despite the rave reviews for the Sayonara, I am an Elixir girl.

Great shoe. You won't be disappointed. Mizuno--if you are listening, keep this shoe!

Just the right amount of support but without the weight. Ran 21 miles in these on the 2nd wear and loved them!
