Great Shoes
These are great looking shoes. They came a day early and feel great. They are designed to keep you from walking/running on your arch. I have flat feet and walk on my arch. I hadn't thought about whether or not my ankles hurt (a regular occurrence with my old shoes) until I was asked to post this review. For me they feel great!!
Great shoe for flat feet!
Having extremely flat feet, I have struggled to find a shoe that felt right. After trying a few other brands over the last couple of years (New Balance, North Face, etc...),I had given up. I even started experiencing slight lower back pain, hip pain, heel pain and arch pain when going for long walks. I knew it was due to my flat feet. I did not want to get fitted for orthotics just yet. So, I purchased a pair of these shoes, and I no longer have ANY pain when walking for long distances. I would highly recommend these shoes for extreme overpronators.
disappointing compared to Wave Renegade 3
I recently purchased a pair of Mizuno Wave Renegade 4.
I used the previous Wave Renegade 3 to run about 10 marathons and for one full distance Ironman triathlon, and I found the Wave Renegade 3 to be an excellent shoe for a large runner with wide flat feet. Unfortunately, the Wave Renegade 4 is too built up around the heel and rubs my ankle bones. Also, it has an band of elastic that is supposed to hold the tongue of the shoe in place, but this band is less comfortable than a traditional shoe tongue. I was very disappointed with the new Wave Renegade 4 and returned it. I hope Mizuno will correct the problem with version 4 being too tall around the heel in its next iteration of this shoe while retaining the good platform underneath the foot.
I have purchased all versions of the Wave Renegade over the years. Just in case one of the designers from Mizuno is reading my feedback here a summary of my experience with this shoe:
Version 4 - Bad. I bought 1 pair, but couldn't use it. Too tall around heel, rubs ankle bones.
Version 3 - Very good. I bought about 7 or 8 pairs.
Version 2 - Bad. I bought 1 pair but couldn't use it. The toe was too narrow.
Version 1 - Very good. I bought about 5 pairs.
