WP-They don't offer free returns though,think it's 3.99 to return.
Mizuno do free delivery for over 45 and free returns if you want to try them first then look for the cheapest.

Ian/WP - that's a good deal from Mizuno re returns. Is that over £45 or over 45 years old? 🤣
WP - I'm so pleased that my legs felt normal today.
Off to the gym soon to give them a good trashing.

Even I've had a look at the Mizuno website. Slightly annoying website but probably not its best for viewing on the phone.
Didn't see any reviews but I did see they have the length of the shoes on the size guide so that might help re sizing

WP - hope the shoes arrive soon and suit you.
I just checked my shoe spreadsheet and apart from the Adrenalines with a 12mm drop I also have a pair of Nimbus, they have a 13mm drop. Lovely shoes, I will replace them as they are so comfortable.
Rest day today, I did an hour in the gym yesterday and have DOMS again. Not too bad but enough to swap tomorrow's rest day to today.
When I looked out the window this morning, it's raining, like a heavy drizzle and I was really disappointed not to running as I enjoy a run in the rain. However, be careful what you wish for, tomorrow morning is forecast to be heavy rain 🤣

I have a list of shoes to try from a podiatrist article I found online there were five to try out for Achilles although I will only try three as one is not suitable for collapsed arches or high arches.The other is Brooks Ghost.
Mizuno wave rider
Asics Nimbus
NB 880
Brooks Ghost
Nike pegasus
I had a pair Nimbus pre Achilles and loved the plushness but found Asics not so good on Achilles.But willing to try again.Never tried NB and I used to run in Nike Zoom pre Achilles but was never that comfortable.
So when I go to Cardiff who have two running shops Moti and Runners Need I will try on the Nimbus and NB and any they suggest.
Wave rider has been dispatched so should be here in next few days.
Looks like our rain has stopped RHR was +8 yesterday and only dropped to +7 today so was going to run long 6-8 miles but will keep it short again or even rest day we shall see.

WP I really like my Asics Novablast, they're a good all round shoe (I did UltraLondon 55 in them but they're also snappy enough for parkrun). I have limited dorsiflexion so I do better with a decent drop or my achilles gets grumpy.
