![]() ![]() The heel does have a slightly small width for foot entry. The stitching at the posterior most section of the heel did give me some blistering, so I would encourage people to use socks with this shoe.īach: The Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash is a big improvement over the original Rebellion in fit. I have run sockless in this shoe quite a bit and almost did not have any issues except when I took them on a longer run. The upper comfort against bare skin is quite good except in the heel. ![]() Fortunately I learned this quickly and stayed going in mostly straight lines. Running in a straight line is fine, but any strong direction changes with such a stiff sole can make it feel like your foot may roll off the platform. The challenge with such a light upper is that it is not the most secure on turns. There is only a small thin heel counter (if you can even call it that) in the posteriormost section of the heel. The heel fits more normal to slightly snug in width. It did move laterally a little with extensive track work, but fortunately never became a problem. The midfoot fits a little wider like the forefoot and I did have to tighten the laces. The light engineered mesh upper has a little extra volume up front and adapted to my forefoot well. ![]() The forefoot had plenty of room for my toes. The fit is normal to wider in the forefoot and becomes more snug toward the heel. Matt: The Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash fits me true to size in my normal Men's US Size 10. SIMILAR SHOES: Puma Deviate Nitro 2, Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 Aimed to be a lightweight workout shoe, it really turned to be a volume mileage trainer for those who enjoy a firmer, stiffer ride with a nimble design. It was one of those shoes you knew would just feel light and airy on foot, and that was certainly the case during testing. The Mizuno Enerzy Lite foam feels more refined and sensitive to the touch. The shoe also immediately felt light in hand, despite being somewhat in the midrange of weights at around 8 oz. The shoe has one of the most basic engineered mesh uppers I have ever seen from Mizuno over the past two years, providing a sleek white and orange design that immediately stood out. Those wanting a lighter, firmer and stiffer shoe for mileage and faster efforts may want to check the Rebellion Flash out.īach: When the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash arrived, it was an immediate oooo out of the box. Despite a moderate heel drop, the Rebellion Flash feels a little higher, making it reminiscent of some of the older Mizuno distance racing shoes like the Mizuno Wave Ronin. The Mizuno Enerzy Lite takes some of the edge off the plate, but the ride provides a firm bounce. The glass fiber reinforced wave plate still remains, providing a stiff and snappy transition that works better at faster interval paces. An extremely light engineered mesh upper sits up top, providing a normal to wider fit. Matt: The Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash is a lightweight trainer/workout shoe for those that want a firmer and snappier underfoot feel. ![]()
