Does anyone know what Mizuno Universe are like as a racing flat? What kind of mileage would one get out of them? And how do they compare to other cheaper racing flats on the market? I was looking at a pair they cost €150 :eek: quite steep, so just wondering if people who have used them think they are worth the price tag.…

Have a pair myself and here are some of the pros and cons:

Very light and might not suit everyone.
Tried the NB 5000 but not very durable and these are.
Grip on the sole great for track sessions.
Didn't break them in enough for the marathon and my calfs suffered.
Love the fit in the toe box area as alot of racing shoes too narrow for me.
