Longtime user of the Precision. I've probably been through 60+ pair over the years. Very sad that they discontinued it. The Sayonara doesn't measure up.

Overall
Wave precision is my favorite shoe of all-time. Just the perfect shoe for my foot and stride. Unfortunately Mizuno screwed the pooch and stopped producing them. I have gotten injured repeatedly trying out replacements as my supply dwindles. Thanks to Mizuno for making such a great shoe, and F#"! off for canceling it.
