Mizuno are quite expensive but I have always thought they were good running shoes, I have had 8 to date. My last 4 purchases have been more expensive and less durable, cheaply made. I think I have figured out their strategy to keep me coming back, prematurely. This shoe like tha last 4 is a prime example. The weakest area of the shoe is at the highest pressure point! Namely the pinky toe areas. The reinforcement for the toes stop just short of that area and so it always breakdown first! They are cheats, especially when their products are so expensive. Im sick of this. With this last pair after 20 miles they're done, see pics attached! I am so upset!
