I happened across a running shop today and *had* to go in for a look.
I asked them about average lifespan on Mizunos (the kind of shoe I currently wear, which may or may not have been a contributing factor to my injury) - I didn't think the shoes were worn out (and I'm not convinced they are yet) at a measly 210 miles....but the running shop indicated that Mizunos seem to trend towards the shorter lifespan...
Anyone here have experience to support or deny the claim? And yes, I know everyones mileage may vary  |

| Yup. My sister, who manages a running specialty store, is a big fan and has tried to get me into Mizunos for ever. I can't stand them. I do not have a Mizuno foot and they always feel dead after just a couple hundred miles. Not for me. |

| I've worn the Mizuno WaveRiders, and they definitely don't last as long as my Asics Cumulus - and they cost more than the Cumulus! |

| I had a similar experience with the Wave Runner 9's -- they seemed to lose their stuff by 300 miles, maybe sooner. They weren't a bad pair of shoes, but they weren't impressive enough for me to try a second pair given the shorter lifespan. |

| I wear Wave Riders - and my last pair lasted aboout 250 miles. I absolutely loved them though! Lite weight, lots of toe room, good fit for me. I got another pair about a month ago. |

I currently wear Wave Rider 9s...I have a 2nd pair waiting in the wings to be rotated in, but I think I'll be bringing them in sooner rather than later, especially seeing as I had issues with shin splints that took me out of running for over 3 months....I still dont know for sure if it was the shoes, as the shin splints just appeared one day and wouldn't go away even after trying the new pair of shoes.
Ah well, maybe I need to hunt for a more durable pair of shoes...Thanks, everyone, for letting me know your experiences  |

I've worn Mizuno's for the past year or so. They definitely don't last as long as my Saucony's did. About 250 miles and that's about it. I love them though. They fit my foot perfectly. I have to replace them more often but so far I haven't found another shoe that I liked as well as my Wave Elixers.

| I've put over 400 miles on my Mizunos, and only now am I starting to feel that they need to be swapped out. I had an issue with Brooks where I did maybe 200, and they would just cause my feet pain while running. |
