Mizuno Wave Inspire 8 Mens SS12

£89.99

Mizuno Wave Inspire 8 Ladies SS12

£89.99

The Wave Inspire 8 is suitable for an over pronator, giving support and cushioning.

The long term wearer’s of the Wave Inspire will be pleased to know that Mizuno have listened to their committed wearer’s of this shoe. The Wave Inspire 7 caused some problems for some with the collar being high and this resulted in rubbing around the ankle bone so Mizuno have lowered this in the Wave Inspire 8 and removed the Dynamotion Fit tab to make it feel more like the Wave Inspire 6. Also removed are the flex eyelets and the longer tongue which were on the Wave Inspire 7 . The heel is also not as stiff as the Wave Inspire 7.

Another addition to this shoe are the smooth ride tabs which help in the transition from heel to toe, which will aid in a more efficient running gait. Mizuno have extended the wave plate just past the arch of the foot so that it will provide good arch support and  have slightly flared the medial aspect of the heel to ensure a stable landing. All in all the comfort and performance of  the Wave Inspire 8 is more like the Wave Inspire 6 and hopefully better than the Wave Inspire 7.

Mizuno Wave Rider 15 Mens SS12

£89.99

Mizuno Wave Rider 15 Ladies SS12

£89.99

The Wave Rider 15 is most suitable shoe for a neutral runner. A lot of Mizuno Rider fans like this shoe because of its lightness. There were some negative reviews about the Wave Rider 14, one of them being how the collar was too high causing abrasions around the ankle bone. Mizuno have reduced this by lowering the heel collar which, to me, does feel a lot better. When on, this shoe feels light but firm giving a great transition from heel to toe. Although snug, there is a good amount of room in the toe box which I liked the feel of. The Wave Rider 15 does feature an extended wave plate through to the mid foot, this helps to improve the ride of the shoe but might feel a little rigid to some. The other change to this shoe is the material used, this is more giving and aerated. I think on the whole if you are looking for a lightweight shoe and lower profile feel with cushioning, then this shoe might be worth a try.

Mizuno Wave Alchemy 11 Mens

£94.99

Mizuno Wave Alchemy 11 Ladies

£94.99

The Wave Alchemy 11 is a shoe offering stability & control, most suitable for a moderate to severe over-pronator. This shoe is now in its second decade of production proving to be a very popular shoe amongst the fans of Mizuno who require a good amount of control and stability. The plate starts from the heel and travels the whole arch of the foot allowing for a more neutral gait. Comparing Alchemy 11 against the Alchemy 10, very little has changed with the shoe apart from the addition of the AP+ which apparently is the up graded version of the AP foam which is now bouncier and more durable. The other change is in the heel cup & upper. The heel is now a snugger fit resulting in less slippage and the overlay is a lot softer. General reviews of the Alchemy 11 are very positive.

Asics Mens Virage 6

£59.99

This is a support shoe for a mild over pronator, offering great gel cushioning with a certain amount of  stability which is incorporated in to the shoe by the use of the Trussic system under the arch which gives added strength and stability but with some flexibility. A light shoe, aerated, comfortable and good value for money.

This Nike Tech top is great value for money. I would not be with out my Nike clothes for running in. Difficult to beat for comfort, sizing, & for value. This is a nice simple plain black top, made with the tech fabric, DriFit. Keeps you dry & comfortable as you work out. The thing I most appreciate about this top is the fitting.

Nike Ladies Sphere Short Sleeve Half Zip Top Pink/White

£29.99

This Ladies Nike Short Sleeve top has just arrived in the latest colours. A flattering and functional fit ,with a small zip to the front of the garment providing extra ventilation should it be required. Another feature of this top is a small zipped pocket at the back of the garment which is quite handy for keys or money. The DriFit material works best when next to the skin for maximum wicking and comfort.

Nike Ladies Boy Short

£16.99

These have just arrived in, a nice neat short that can be worn on track or for a work out in the gym. The waist has a comfortable stretchy band incorporating a draw string and an internal pouch for key or coins. Nike are very good at functional clothing and with this in mind they have added small a mesh strip down the outer side of the short for extra ventilation, all of this is made from DriFit tech fabric that helps to keep you comfortable and dry as you work out.

Asics Ladies Knee Tight

£30.99

These knee tights feel very comfortable when on and quite a flattering fit as well. Ideal for this present weather, and I know some ladies would prefer not to wear shorts, so these are a great in betweener. Made with  high wicking tech fabric which, in addition, allows for freedom of movement, as well as feeling lovely and soft against the skin. I can say that the waist felt good with the elasticated waist and inner draw string. With the back zip pocket I found that I could fit two energy gels quite comfortably.

Tip: Avoid using bio washing powder or fabric softener as this prevents the wicking process thus leaving you sweaty and uncomfortable.

Asics Trail Sensor 5 Ladies

£79.99

Thought that these are worth a mention, a nice comfortable, cushioned shoe for most terrains except for very muddy conditions. Once you put your foot into this shoe you can feel the cushioning in the rearfoot and forefoot. The thing I particularly like is the roomy feel in the shoe box which, for me is quite essential especially when, at the end of a long off-road run feet swell, and running any distance in a tight shoe is a killer! Another bonus is the rock plate that Asics put between the outer layer and inner layer of the sole, this reduces the painful feeling in the ball of the foot when you land on those pesky stones. Thanks to the reverse lugs, the grip is also good when running (or crawling) up hill and also when descending. This shoe comes in a practical colour too!
