Mizuno shoe recommendation

[Ergosquare]

Hi.
I'm planning to buy a pair of Mizunos.
So I was wondering if someone can help who has tried different models.
My interest regards the Wave Medal Neo as well as the Wave Medal SP5.
Shoes that work for me are the Medal 7.
Butterfly Lezoline Rifones are also nice.
Good air flow is important for me.
The toe box also shouldn't be too shallow in height.
Other than that I'm not very picky and look forward to your recommendations.

I tried 4 or 5 different shoes before arriving at the Wave Drive 8 which I would recommend. Good feeling, very supportive. Decent ventilation too altho there are shoes with more mesh that breathe better.
I don't find the toe box small, it's probably regular sized if that's any help, definitely not small tho.
The sole on the SP5 looks too big for me, I prefer something lighter.

Can someone recommend the Wave Medal Neo (or even compare it to the SP5/Medal 7)?

I used the Wave Medal Neo for a few months, for me they felt a bit too bulky and I didnt feel as flexible/fast with them so I went back to Wave Drive 8 which is what I was previously using.


Haven't used wave medal 7 but they look bigger than wave drive 8 so perhaps you'll get on fine with them as Medal Neo felt too bulky for me
