Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 2

Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash 2 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, but narrow toebox: runners with wide feet will find the toes compressed. The heel counter can cause friction blisters at the back of the heel.

Feel

Rockered geometry with dual Enerzy foam pushes the foot toward the toes, encouraging a midfoot strike. The ride is cushioned, but some report a sense of instability in corners at higher speeds.

Durability

G3 outsole rated solid across sources; the upper is the weak link, with questions about long-term durability. Expected mileage not quantified in available sources.

Best for

Performance trainer for tempo sessions and fartlek; best suited to midfoot strikers training for a half marathon or marathon on a mixed schedule. Not recommended for heel strikers or runners looking for an everyday all-rounder.

Weak points

Aggressive heel counter causes recurring blisters at the heel. The stack/weight combination doesn't hold up against direct competitors in pure speed sessions.
