Who shouldn’t buy it

Also, for a racing shoe alternative, the Camisola Mizuno Dry Aero alças verde pálido mulher is one that did not have any issues with its laces.

A consensus is reached: Running fast is where this shoe excels. A runner mentioned that these are a solid pick for taking on speed sessions and shorter races. However, an expert who took on a half-marathon said: “I bet I’m the first person to win on the Wave Rebellion Flash.”

All around comfort, except for the cushion

Right out of the box, a critic loved how “it immediately felt good.” For a Mizuno fan, they found these racers to have a “roomier overall fit and feel” as they compared this with older Mizuno models. A runner also noted that despite removing the padding around the heel collar, this “didn’t contribute to any less comfort.”

While a critic mentioned that the Mizuno Enerzy Foam felt “very similar to the Nike React,” a handful of runners found the midsole to be rather stiff. An expert even mentioned that if the “ooey-gooey super plush softness” is what a runner prefers, it would be best to look away. 

Fast and slow feel different in the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash

Despite many critics loving how fast they can go with these lightweight racers, going slow is an entirely different side of the coin.

An expert said that it was “easy to find the propulsion that resulted in a snappy toe off” as they took on faster speeds. For another, the Wave Rebellion Flash had just the right amount of snappiness, comfort, and responsiveness that it “felt perfect at tempo paces.” A critic owed this to the glass fiber-reinforced plate which provided just the right amount of stiffness underfoot that made these shoes excel at faster paces.

One runner, however, mentioned that slower paces let the shoe “feel really firm underfoot” which resulted in sore arches. An expert was disappointed and said that their experience was something they “didn’t really love” as they found it rather confusing and overall firm. 

An outsole that’s ready to take on miles of road (and a bit of trail)

Even after taking on 53 miles of road, a critic commended the outsole for only having “little wear.”

As for its performance on various terrains such as dirt, limestone trail, packed snow, and a bit of slippery ice, runners agree: the traction on these is exceptional. An expert even took these on wet wood and a scree-covered hillside and said that the Wave Rebellion Flash “handled all of those well.” 

The upper of the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash does its job really well

‘Breathable’, ‘lightweight’, ‘non-constricting’, and ‘secure’ are a few of the words that runners use to describe the engineered mesh upper of these fast shoes. An expert also mentioned that the thinness of the upper was just right that gave an “overall stability without feeling overbuilt.”

As an added bonus, runners would be pleased to know that the upper is fast-drying. 

So light it disappears on foot

Mizuno Duel Sonic 2 Беговая Обувьly contributed to the 20-gram weight loss of the Wave Rebellion Flash from its predecessor, the Wave Rebellion. An expert loved how light these felt on foot as they said: “It feels like it's a part of my foot.”

The laces might need some rework

A critic said that the laces are “too thin and too slippery.” This was an issue that another runner agreed to as they said that the “right snugness” is difficult to achieve with these. For another, they described these to be “crazy long” and said that these could just be the longest laces they have ever seen on a pair of running shoes.
