PositiveThe softest, bounciest Mizuno midsole she's tried and her current favourite, able to pick up the pace. Another tester finds the underfoot feel amazing but the upper so narrow and low-volume that at $180 he'd look elsewhere unless you have a narrow foot. A third tester sees lots of potential in the foams.
