text: I over-pronate and need the most stability and correction I can get, so I decided to try the Mizuno brand for the very first time. The Paradox are touted as the most stable within the Mizuno line and one step higher than the Wave Inspire I bought at the same time.<br />In a nutshell:<br />Stability: The stability is above average and I think will do quite well to correct my pronation. Even though it has been about a year since I wore my previous brand of stability enhancing shoes, my feet are not sore and I have been happy with how they are fitting and holding up so far.<br />Fit/Weight: Paradox are much lighter than my previous Asics, which is what I was looking for. Over-pronation correcting shoes are often heavy so these are nice on that front. The fit is neither too small or too roomy...they fit exactly to size. I would increase a 1/2-1 whole size larger if I needed to put my orthotics into them, though.<br />Comfort: I think support is the most important, but they are comfortable, as well. I'm surprised my feet are not hurting terribly while breaking them in, but so far, so good. I haven't taken a run in them yet though, so I may add on to this review once I accomplish that one.<br />Look: The disappointing thing with these shoes is probably the lack of colors to choose from, but they are quality shoes and this particular pair were incredibly affordable. I purchased the Wave Inspire at the same time so I could try them both out, and the colors were MUCH better, but the cost of the Wave Inspires was almost three times more than this sale price. All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase!
