I love my Neo Vista. Picked up a pair on the basis of your reaction to them and delighted I did! Is the sizing the same between the Neo Zen and Neo Vista? Thanks

Took a chance on these and love them: thank you! As an older runner, I find I need softer and softer shoes, especially for roads. But it seems like they always bottom out, and I end up not really feeling any cushion or bounce after that initial squish. These are completely different. I would agree that they make zero sense as walking shoes, which is why I hesitated: when I first put them on and wore them around the house they seemed “fun, but weird.” But the minute I started running, wow, it was clear they were just what I wanted. Exactly as y’all described: soft, bouncy, light, comfortable, and fun. And I actually liked the extra room, too. I ended up doing a nine-mile road route that I’d been avoiding lately because it just seemed like too much of a boring slog. These made it a joy. (And for what it’s worth, I think BR is the best review site out there! I so appreciate your thoroughness, independence, and wit.)

lol! These guys don’t jack know about what’s good.. Mizuno Wave Riders FIXED MY FEET PROBLEMS! They make the best quality products in the world hands down. When I found wave rider 17 or whatever, my mind was blown…literally because Nikes are complete garbage. I test shoes to but i know about fashion. You have to find the shape for YOU. That why these site mean nothing. I’m starting to think these shoe guys are all scrubs who think a complete lack of style can be rectified with a good pair of shoes…Shoes ain’t a fashion statement your OUTFIT IS. You guys shredded your rep.
