Mizuno Elixir

Salty Dog

Just wondering if there's anyone wearing them and what they think ? Currently in the Inspire but thinking of going for something slightly lighter like the Elixir.

I'm in them.

Use the Inspire for majority of my training and racing. Started with the Elixir this summer for racing mainly but use them for tempo & interval runs too.

The nice thing is they're built like the Inspire and give a good return on the mileage relative to a racing flat. I've used the Mizuno Ronin for 5k races but there's not enough in them for me on longer runs. (I've heavy bones )

Great shoe. I'm on my second pair of wave elixir 6's and they are my favourite shoe. I use them for races and speed sessions, and have used them for races including marathon distance without any issues. I find them really comfortable and lightweight, and I'd highly recommend trying them on. I'm a slight pronator, and I tried a lot of the lightweight shoes in AK in bray before picking these.

How do you find them for sizing compared to the Inspires ? Will drop in AK in Ballymount to try them.

A little narrower in the toe box to give a snugger fit but otherwise same size. Whatever you are in Inspire, same in Elixir. I smacked out a 16k run straight out of the box, no issues, no nail damage - perfect.
