Air Classic BW Verdict

Dislikes: Toebox is not as wide as other options, internal stitching can limit sockless wear

The toebox is the widest in this test, and there’s a roomy fit throughout the shoe. Runners with narrower feet may notice scrunching of excess material over the top of the foot.

Mizuno Wave Evo Cursoris

Likes: Stretch mesh for slipper-like fit and breathability, ample room for toe splay, responsive forefoot cushioning

Verdict: The Wave Evo Cursoris is stripped down to a set of core technologies to provide ground feel and impact protection
