Not as good as version 1 but this shoe is extremely comfortable, more stable and still an absolute banger. I love the ride.

Not as good as version 1 but this shoe is extremely comfortable, more stable and still an absolute banger. I love the ride.
I was looking for a shoe for comfortable, easy runs and longer efforts. Centred on a few options, including the Zen 2s. I purchased an 11 as I'm usually a 10. 5/11 depending on the shoe. With the disclaimer that I couldn't run outside as I'd void my chance to return them, I felt they were comfortable, softish but responsive, and a nice, stable wide base. However, the 11 was just too long for me and I was not a fan of the narrow, pointy toe box. I mainly returned due to the sizing but I'm hoping for a more natural shaped toe box in future iterations and I'd definitely consider picking them up again.
I had the v1 shoe come apart after just 10 miles, and Altitude helped with the warranty claim. Really like that shoe, but I went with V2 hoping for better quality. I have not been disappointed. More meat on the heel counter, making it more comfortable w/o adding too much weight. Great bouncy feel to these, perfect for easy runs and recovery runs.
Not as fun as version 1 but more stable and dialed in. Smooth controlled and another excellent product from Mizuno. Do not sleep on this one
