Mizuno Musha 3

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

I was looking for people's feedback on the Musha 3. I just purchased a pair mainly for racing, but I am considering making it my primary trainer. It seems like a great compromise between a "true" minimalist shoe and a "normal" training shoe. Does anyone have experience using the musha as a daily trainer?

Also, I find it really easy to run on my midfoot with this shoe. I have seen on runningwarehouse.com that it has a fairly standard 9mm heel-toe drop. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate?

Thank you in advance for any feedback!

I have a pair of Musha 3s that I wear as my everyday trainer. I like them a lot. Prior, I wore Wave Riders and Elixirs and decided to make the switch after a 4 month injury. Took about 3 weeks to get comfortable with them. My lower legs were pretty much sore for a few weeks. I had a good 5 months on them before re-aggravating the prior injury.

Can't speak on the specifics of the drop.

been using the Mushas for years. They work for me. Wider forefoot, very even heel-to-toe transition that you alluded to. Good all-around shoe.

I train and race in the musha. I think it is a very underrated shoe. I would highly recommend it. I think it feels low to the ground because there is no cutaway under the arch like in many other shoes. This, in my opinion, improves the ride greatly.

So are they both the standard 12? Or is the op right?
