How it ranks
The Mizuno Neo Zen ranks among the stronger daily trainers in our data. Value and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 1 runner review and 1 other rated shoe in the Neo Zen product line. Another 11 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Very good
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
69/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 1 runner rating.
