Mizuno Shadow

Anonymous runner · Feb 9, 2018

5/5

Overall

I wore the Mizuno Precision for years as a daily trainer. Haven’t been able to find a similar replacement since they discontinued it. The Shadow is the closest thing that I’ve found in the last few years. Still a little stiff in the heel due to the wave plate (they should go to a softer plate in my opinion). But overall a good shoe. Daily training, long runs and tempo runs.
