Those look very nice, I'm a big fan of Mizuno...both the running and lifestyle.

How is the comfort, are they super squishy or medium? I only ask as after years of wearing the original Pureboosts and Ultraboosts, I tend to avoid too squishy as they exacerbate my runners knee!
Medium and def not like a super soft Fuelcell or ZoomX. Like you I find those aren’t supportive enough. I wore these all day yesterday and they really are super comfy. I’ll def get another pair when the current colours hit the sales.
Thanks, sounds promising and the ideal trainer balancing comfort and support. Curious how these compare to the Wave Rider 10's for comfort and width if you have tried both?

I find them way more comfy that the 10’s (they were a little over firm for me). These are also a little wider. I’d rate them around the same as the 990v6 for comfort (and they’re very comfy).

Sounds even better...I will wait for the sales too...RRP is a bit rich for me!

Interesting you say that, I find WR10 not far behind my all time comfort favourite, the 990v3.

I've got the BEAMS Beta pair but haven't worn them yet.

Any recommendations for a good walking trainer? I’m doing between 7.5-10km per day and my current Nike (Pegasus, I think) have given up the ghost with a couple of holes in the sole and a tear on the toe area.

Thanks

Depends on your gait and where you walk (pavement, trail etc).

I'd probably get a running trainer that suits your gait and terrain.

Noice! Just had a browse and bagged myself these for £45.50 delivered. Fancied them a while ago but they are not the usual style I go for, just hope they fit alright.

Hope they work out for you, 550/650 are notoriously narrow!

Some decent offers on Hanon at the moment...

eyeing up some Gel Lyte 3 but also some more Roos - what's quality like on the non-MIG Roos?

Cheers. It's all pavement (little bit of trail occasionally but once in a blue moon). I think the Pegasus is a running trainer and it worked well for me but I burned through them in about 6-7 months which seems quick to me so wondered if there's anything else getting the thumbs up at the moment.

Non MiG are actually still very decent.

Pop? Thought about those myself and yeah not my usual. I got the Kolam campus in a similar sale for 35quid, haven’t worn them at all as campus just don’t seem to be comfortable.

I find it odd that campus and super star are uncomfortable for me whereas pretty much every other original is my ideal foot shape
