I have flat feet, pretty severe over-pronation (my foot turns outward too much when I walk or run), and I'm an active college student on a large campus who just happens to love running for exercise when I'm not running to class. I needed a lightweight, versatile shoe that could stabilize my stride and take me through runs on pavement, grass, rain, mud, or snow. These have delivered on all counts, and they look and feel good doing it.
Before I got these, I had the Wave Alchemy 9. I was sad when I realized I had to retire my old shoes, and I knew I wanted another pair of Mizunos. I read some unfavorable reviews on the Wave Alchemy 10's, but I honestly can't tell much of a difference except for a slightly slimmer fit and smoother ride. They are not constricting [at least not to my feet, which run slightly narrow], and they mold well to my feet. The all-over ventilation is a must-have. I can go nonstop in these from 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM, and my feet won't hurt. Though I have yet to land in a patch of slimy mud in them [yay shortcuts!], they seem to use the same fabrics on these as they did on the 9's. Once, I got my old shoes completely submerged in mud up to the tops of the laces, and they washed out just fine with some stain remover and soap.
Overall, I'm very happy with my new shoes and I look forward to many more pain-free miles in them.

These shoes are good for stability but also pretty light. downside: they break down about twice as quickly as Brooks Ariel or other heavier stability shoes. I have to replace these about every 3 months, running an average of 5 miles three to four times a week.
Best Deals on Mizuno Women's Wave Alchemy 10 Running Shoe
Like other reviewers, I have been wearing the Wave Alchemy for years. They were the first pair of perfect running shoes that I owned -I didn't realize you could run without pain until I ran on them. For years, I have simply reordered them to replace my worn shoes and could count on them to be an immediate perfect fit. I could wear them brand new on a long run day without any issues at all. Sadly when I received the Wave Alchemy 10, the minute I put them on my feet I could tell that the style had changed. They felt completely unnatural even just standing. I sadly had to return them and switch to a different brand of shoe, which while an okay fit does not even compare to the original Wave Alchemy. If you are a loyal Wave Alchemy wearer, be aware that the 10's will not fit like previos versions. Happy Running!
Honest reviews on Mizuno Women's Wave Alchemy 10 Running Shoe
I have previously run in the Alchemy 9. They fit great, nice blend of stability, cushion and flexibility. I bought these, same size and noticed right away that the fit felt different. The front of the shoe is much more narrow. I ran a bit on the treadmill thank goodness and in a few hours, my neuroma was hurting...this happens when I wear high heels or narrow shoes. Back they went. I couldn't find them in a wide width so I bought the men's version. So far, so good....

I love these shoes! So lightweight and comfortable! I used Mizuno's website to research the right shoe for my feet and gait because I wanted to get nice running shoes to compete in my third race next year and these did not disappoint.
