Mizuno Neo Vista 2
Mizuno's super-trainer stacks a huge slab of bouncy Enerzy NXT foam around a flexible nylon Wave plate, topped with a stretchy knit bootie upper. It's a fun, highly cushioned option that can handle everything from easy days to uptempo long runs.
Reach for the Mizuno Neo Vista 2 for everyday training miles, long runs and tempo days and intervals. 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.
- Bouncy, energetic max-stack ride
- Versatile across paces
- Comfortable sock-like upper
- Knit upper runs warm and less secure
- Tall stack feels unstable on tight corners
