I don't think so. The inspire used different heel materials and a plate to provide stability...been a while for me, but pretty sure they're staying away from posts.

I still have the 18. But let me tell you: The 19 are better.. If you find them somewhere, just try them on..

Definitely good for both long runs and heel strikers!

With my usual size, I found them narrow on the forefoot, and with no feeling of support on the internal sole, and the heel fit was also bad.

@@longobardialfonso8376in case you are used to medial post or any other non-subtle stability increasing approach, i am fairly sure you might miss something, but the wave plate is rather effective and at that subtle in providing stability. Going the other direction (i.e. rotating from inspires to some asics, years a go, i was always puzzled about the extra piece of something in the shoe that provided some support, while otherwise actually feeling undesirably soft and indifferent under the foot).

@@gioponti6359 Your considerations are well explained. The fact is that I had gotten used to the excellent understanding I had with the Inspire 17. Because they were comfortable, well cushioned, and very stable. In fact, I still have a couple of them which I am very happy to wear. This is why version 20 didn't convince me. So I tried the Brooks Glycerine GTS 20 which immediately won me over. Because the new DNA Loft V3 midsole...It really blew me away! Thanks to its ability to keep the foot stable, but with good reactivity and softness.

@@gioponti6359 Thanks for your feedback ! For the rest, I took the Brooks Glycerine GTS 20, because they are protective, stable, soft, and well cushioned! And it's a real pleasure to wear them! I love them 💗

I went to try them on in the store today, and I can only confirm everything you said! Because I found them narrow on the forefoot, rigid, and with very little cushioning . Taking the Brooks Adrenaline 20 GTS ! Which were clearly superior, from every point of view. And if the Enerzy foam is really what I tried with these Inspire 20, I really think that this time Mizuno has made a big hole in the water !!!!! In addition to being very ugly on an aesthetic level.

What didn’t you like?

@@erinmalette7276 I didn't like version number 20 of the Inspire because it felt too narrow on the forefoot, as well as feeling too hard, because the Enerzy foam alone, without other types of foam, and of supports, I find it poorly cushioned. But the thing that disappointed me the most was the placement of the foot in the shoe, which did not give me that sense of comfort that I felt with the 17 version.

@@longobardialfonso8376thanks! I’ll look at the 19 on sale.

@@longobardialfonso8376ah, ignore my other post ;) I too run in the 17s.. going wide (E2) made an important difference to the fit for me
