Expert Review Sources

  • Running Shoes Guru : 84.7 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the Mizuno Neo Vista 3 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (266 g, a 8.5 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $180. »
  • RunRepeat : 83.6 / 100 — « The Mizuno Neo Vista 3 builds on the strengths of its predecessors with a more refined fit, a premium-looking design, and one of the most impressive knit uppers we've tested. For our feet, the shoe performs wonderfully during easy runs and long-distance training thanks to its deep cushioning and smooth, effortless ride. However, the foam still falls behind most of the competition in energy return, and we think that's a major drawback for such an expensive shoe. »
