A week ago I got a pair of Mizuno Wave Hayate 3. At first I’m kind of hesitant to use it because of its regular sized toe box. I was using a Brooks caldera before with a wide toe box and a fully cushioned trail shoes, compared to Mizuno wave hayate 3 that has a regular toe box fitting and a semi minimalist trail shoes.
