Mizuno Women's Inspire 22 Running Shoes

Hit the ground running in the Wave Inspire 22 — a refined stability trainer for supportive, smooth daily miles. The Inspire 22 brings together Mizuno’s latest cushioning and stability technologies in a reworked platform engineered for overpronators, daily training runs, and long-distance comfort.

What has been updated

• Full-length nitrogen-infused midsole: The Inspire 22 uses a midsole made with nitrogen-infused Mizuno Enerzy NXT foam that runs the length of the shoe. This gives a softer, more cushioned ride with good energy return, making heel-strikes smoother and transitions more fluid.

• Enhanced heel construction: In the heel region, the Enerzy NXT has been tuned to improve structure and durability under impact — helping the shoe manage repeated heel landings while preserving cushioning.

• Updated stability plate: A revised Mizuno Wave plate, constructed from bio-based TPU material (50% plant-based), sits under the arch to guide the foot’s motion, support overpronation, and promote stable, efficient weight transfer from landing to toe-off.

• Road-ready outsole: The outsole uses durable X10 carbon rubber, offering reliable grip and long wear for road surfaces.

• Light, breathable upper: The engineered mesh upper ensures secure lockdown and airflow, with a comfortable, adaptive fit. Over 70% of the upper body textile is recycled, supporting Mizuno’s sustainability efforts.

Key Specs (typical men’s size)

• Heel stack height: approximately 38.5 mm, forefoot stack approximately 28.5 mm, resulting in a 10 mm drop

• Weight: around 250 g

• Cushioning: High, thanks to the nitrogen-infused Enerzy NXT midsole

• Stability: Supportive, using the Wave plate tuned for moderate overpronation

Who it’s for

• Runners who need rear-foot stability and support for overpronation, but prefer a shoe that remains relatively light and cushioned

• Daily runners logging medium to high mileage, including half- and full-marathon training

• Anyone wanting a shoe that balances soft landings, good energy return
