Mizuno Neo Vista
Mizuno's original super trainer: a huge nitrogen-infused Enerzy NXT midsole with a fabric plate and a bootie knit upper. Plush, bouncy and fun for easy miles and long runs, but the tall soft stack wobbles for some and the knit upper runs warm. Skip it if you want a firm, stable traditional trainer.
Reach for the Mizuno Neo Vista for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Very plush, bouncy max-stack ride
- Versatile from easy days to steady long runs
- Durable outsole
- Warm, snug knit upper
- Tall soft stack can feel unstable
- Not much energy return at fast paces
