The Mizuno Wave Inspire 19 is a stability running shoe designed for runners seeking support during their runs. It is particularly suitable for individuals who prefer a significant heel drop, with a measurement of 12 mm drop.
Testing revealed that the upper construction provides notable durability and grip, making it effective on wet surfaces, gravel roads, and easy trails.
