Mizuno thread [6] - all info, pics, questions here plz

hwangong,

yes, indeed

the WI TM will definitely sell in JApan!

 

quick question. Im looking to sell my WI2 because i have to concede they are too small for me (UK 8.5) Its too small when your toes are soo squashed that the friction between them when running causes you to cut the inside of the 2nd biggest toe (and yes i do cut my toenails!!)

So anyway once i sell my WI2 and my ctr elites ill have a bit of dolla to play with. I want to get the comfiest boots your can recommend whilst still being good looking.

I bought the 8.5's because i had never had K leather boots before and had heard that they stretch to mould to your foot. But because the WI have all the pads on them does that stop them from stretching as much?

I'd pref like to get some mizunos but would be willing to look at Nike & Adidas, because the adipowers were very very comfy IMO but because of the lack of durability i dont really want to go back to them:/

I hear good things about Japan made mizuno's but which would you recommend and can you give a price in GBP inc shipping? thanks. Any feedback appreciated

 

HWANGONG,

just being informed tht the WI2 TM is for Korean market only

looks like only via dosoccer we can get them!

way too expensive!

sportsguide price is better

 

Anyone know if Mizuno will be offering any new Astro boots within the next coming months?

My supersonic Waves that I bought from Japan a couple months back are starting to slowly wear down.

The leather is starting to seperate from the sole of the shoe at the toes. Love these shoes too... sooooo comfy!!

 

I see. Thanks for the information.
I can shop from any other Korean shops than dosoccer.
But for rest of you non-Koreans, yes, dosoccer might be the best option.

 

For anyone who is interested in the differences between Morelia Neo and Estrela Neo:
http://blog.livedoor.jp/shoishi0014/archives/6765642.html
It is in Japanese but summing up there are about 4 differences other than color and name : leather quality, the heel part, shoelace holes part and weight.

Leather quality: Morelia Neo is made from better quality leather. Morelia Neo leather is softer but Estrela is strong against water.
Heel part: Different type I think, and the guy in the blog said that Morelia Neo type make his heels hurt.
Shoelaces Holes: Morelia Neo ones are optimized for better fit.

 

my completed project on converting the Ignitus MD

 

might even removed the 2 blades at the heel and add 2 more studs!

 

Nice job!

Whats with the thick laces though? Look like Breakdancing laces people used to put in their Adidas Superstars. lol


With that said, I just ordered some boots from PDS, it's been 9 days since, asnd I have yet to recieve them. The last thing that Royal Mail reported was they were at NYC - Kennedy airport on last Sunday. Do you think they got sent back for something?

 

Morelia Neo update...

Buy these boots, now. They're incredible. I wore them out of the box for two hours with zero comfort issues. The leather is buttery soft and breaks in almost immediately. They totally put the Adizero to shame as far as comfort and feel goes. It's like you're wearing slippers. Hopefully I'll be able to buy another couple pair in the future.

 

???

 

I'm generally a size 11 (UK) and recommend sticking to your "true" size with the Wave Ignitus. With Morelia's I would advise dropping half a size down.

Obviously with the size of my feet I will never have the opportunity to try Japan-made Morelia. I haven't heard that the rule is any different though.

As for retailers then Rakuten comes highly recommended by others. I haven't used the service but plenty of others have.

 

Ok, PDS got em to me. I think they got stuck in customs for a few days.

I bought my GF some US5/23CM Morelia II's .

The craftmanship even on such a little shoe is just as good as the big versions!! Incredible quality!(such a steal!)

 

Those are cute!!! )

 

boliv,

sooooooo cute!

without a shadow of a doubt, morelia II (japan-made) = THE BEST CLASSIC!

 

So just got a reply from Mr. Lee @ dosoccer

He says the Made in Japan Morelia Neo will be 299,000 won

That's about 268 dollars!! Holy crap!

He also says the release will be at the end of march.............

 

Whoa!! With shipping you're looking at almost 300 bucks!

 

Im looking to get a pair of Mizuno's, i started out looking at the supersonic waves as there pretty cheap on pro direct right now. But now im going more towards some japan made morelia's, I take it rakuten would be the best place to get them from? Also ive seen some morelia waves on there, but cant find much about them online can anyone enlighten me on them?

 

Considering the Chinese-made Morelia Neo retails at the equivalent of 240 dollars in the UK then I don't think this is too bad.

 

Good point.

 

Are the Estrela Neo on Rakuten legit? I just found out about the Estrelas and they seem the perfect boot for me especially the red ones.

 

Yes. Rakuten doesn't sell fake stuff. (at least I haven't heard that they did, as they are a retail website).

Estrellas are the lower end model though right?
