Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: The Elixir hasn't changed much, which is good--just a few notable tweaks to the design of the upper. Mizuno added a panel of stretchy material at the base of the tongue to make the toebox more comfy and notched the eyestay row to give the shoe a more customized fit. The lightweight Elixir skirts the line between the stability and performance-training categories, so we recommend it for efficient runners with normal arches or as a racing shoe for heavier runners with low arches.
