Mizuno Wave Idaten 3


Christmas has come early for me this year - these Mizuno Wave Idaten's are a Christmas present from my parents, and should really be wrapped up in their box and not opened until the 25th December!

One good thing is that I haven't run in them yet. I ordered them from the Natterjack website a few days ago hoping they would arrive before Christmas. Well, they arrived the day after they were put in the post. So, top class service from Natterjack. Not only were they £6 cheaper than I could find anywhere else (including ebay), but they arrived very quickly, and they fit. That can be a problem ordering shoes online or through mail order: you order a cheap pair of shoes, they turn up and you discover they are the wrong size!

I had an advantage here because I actually tried on a pair of Idaten's at Keep on Running a month ago, and didn't buy them then because I'd just bought a pair of Walsh fell shoes and didn't have enough money - which is very fortunate because I would have paid around £54 for them.
