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.

Hey, i have the wave rider size 9.5 (UK )and they fit well.
I'd like to buy the idaten online.
Which size would you recommmend me ? 9.5 or 10 ? I hesitate and there's no shop in France where i can find them
Xavier,
Sorry it's taken so long to reply - I will have to check comments on here more often! I have a pair of Waveriders in UK size 11, and found the Idatens to be fine in the same size.
So, I would go for UK size 9.5
These are great lightweight shoes and for me only really suitable for racing - I would say up to 10 miles, though you might be ok to do a half marathon as well.
Hi,
I bought the idaten size 9,5 and they suit me.
I like them a lot !
I intend to run half marathons with them, and maybe a marathon.
Bye !
hmm they look kind of bulky.. what do you think of the nike free 5.0s
They are some super funky colored shoes, I do need a new pair but prefer my running shoes in black! I really don't think you'd get missed in a pair of those tho, so they are quite perfect runners that like that kind of bold fashion : )
thanks for sharing...get them from Road Runner Sports Coupons
