I love my Neo Zens but I feel like I'm having a fairly uncommon experience with it - I have used it for all runs from intervals (3:15/km) down to easy paces (5:45/km) and I found it oddly stable (mid foot width is my key stability requirement) and it handled everything well. The upper I agree is surprisingly bad since the Vista works so well for me!
Awesome format Alex, we were considering something similar as well. I have just tried the Neo Zen out myself, and can easily agree with almost everything you say. The fit works for my foot. Vista is the go-to for me, but for a recovery/softshoe day where I just want to feel softness under my feet the Neo Zen does the job very well. Lars
I see it's out now on the EU Mizuno Website. I do kind of want to try it to give some other brands a chance. But I do have the Novablast 5 already and really not sure I would like this one better. Especially when you say it's less bouncy and more squishy and the heel fit is not great...

Love the " ANSWERING ALL YOUR QUESTIONS " video ❤
Possibly no need for this shoe then if all you recommend it for 30mins of recovery run.
Neo Vista are almost perfect for me. One thing I had to give up on. Little support and too soft on the ankle.
This one looks same unfortunately
for me this shoe is as good as the evo sl

Would probably have the same use case. Spend your money towards a shoe with a different character (race/ tempo for example).
@@jeroen1989 Yeah probably the smarter investment. But I've got quite a few shoes... Every base is double and triple covered already😂
@robin29991 Then, invest in a shoe closet 😂
Could it be a More v5 ish replacement? Same use purpose?
