Mizuno Wave Inspire 17
Features
[Looking for the latest version? The men's Mizuno Wave Inspire 18 is available now.]
The men's Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 gives you stability and cushion for a comfortable ride.
Mizuno created reliable stability by using its signature Wave Plate technology. The plastic plate embedded into the midsole helps mitigate the effects of overpronation, keeping the shoe from wearing out prematurely.
Surrounding the plate is a cushion of Mizuno’s Enerzy foam. The new foam composition is softer and bouncier than foams used in previous versions of the shoe, which gives the Inspire 17 a cushier landing and smoother transition.
A soft and smooth mesh upper creates a comfortable fit that breathes easily when your workout heats up, and a secure internal heel counter locks your foot into place to prevent rubbing or chafing.
With a new underfoot feel with the same stability you can count on, the men's Mizuno Wave Inspire 17 meets all your needs.

Wave is just a ripple
As someone who overpronates, I used to love Mizuno Waves. I've used multiple generations of them for jogging and walking for more than 10 years. The Inspire 17, however, does not have as much support. The hard plastic wedge has been reduced in size; Mizuno needs to beef it back up.
Good Service
Got the shoe I couldn't find in stores. Good price and excellent shipping speed.
Mizuno
Great support and cushion walking and/or running.

Fit right, comfortable, feels good during and after various exercises. On top of it all they look great. Recommend to anyone considering these shoes
Great Shoe
I bought the Wave Inspire 17 after I bought the Wave Rider 24 while looking for a replacement for my old Wave Rider 17. While both the Wave Inspire 17 & Wave Rider 24 are great shoes, I am still looking for a shoe as lighter and airier as the Wave Rider 17. But I love them both and I use them regularly. They seem a little too expensive but for the technologies they use, price seems ok. It was great dealing with Fleet Feet. Thanks.
