The Wave Inspire is a svelte trainer for all but the heaviest of runners who want to log big mileage with stability that won’t interfere with a neutral stride. The fit is true to size and worked to cradle our testers’ somewhat narrow feet with a minimalist airy upper. The ride had our testers thinking performance and encouraged higher tempo toe-off motion with noteworthy stiffness in the forefoot.
