These are my Mizuno Enerzy. They are only a few years old, but they survived my 110kg to 75kg, 5km in 50 mins to 10km in 55 mins fitness journey. Its getting a bit embarrasing at the gym when people see the duct tape. Ive already stitched the holes up three times.
How long are running shoes supposed to last you? They are expensive! Are they expected to do this, or should they last much longer?
Well I gave it a shot and got some discounted Mizuno trail run shoes in my size. Im sure they will be fine. Thanks for the advice!
Nice, hope it works out for you! Usually brands are consistent within their lineup, so that should make things easier. Mizuno is one of the brands I've not tried yet, but might if I find a good deal.
Also since I just got another pair in the mail myself, which kind of helps my point: Found a good deal on a pair of craft shoes (pro Endur distance) and actually ordered in EU45 (a full size smaller than my typical shoes), since the size guide had that listed as equalling 29,5cm. Never had one of their shoes before.
Having them in person now the length seem correct and I have about a thumb width of space. I only have to test if the toebox shape works for my large toe during long runs, but that is something I couldnt really determin in a shop either.
