First run in the Neo Vista. It’s definitely a squishy shoe, but it’s a bit different than what I was expecting/hoping for. I laud Mizuno for taking such risks with this shoe, but I feel like perhaps they’re over-correcting on this one. The Mizuno shoes I’ve been testing lately have been more firm than I like. This one is a bit mushy.
.
I need to follow up with Mizuno to see if they will tell me what their new Enerzy NXT foam actually is, but in the meantime, it feels like a dense layer of supercritical EVA. Combined with the wave plate, at easy paces, this shoe definitely wants me to heel strike. Midfoot striking at moderate paces in this shoe feels breezy and enjoyable, but there is a slight mushiness that makes me wonder if I would regret taking this on a long uptempo run. Strides in this shoe are really quite fun, and it makes me@wonder yet again how much more I might enjoy Mizuno shoes if they could make at least some models with less aggressive wave plates.
.
Testing continues. I think I definitely need to take this shoe on a long run before I can finalize my opinions.

Disclosures: Mizuno sent this shoe for me to review. No one is paying me to make this reel or to include their product in this reel. No one will preview this reel before it goes up.
