Aesthetically speaking, my vote goes to Mizuno.

[@American_Enigma]

I'm going to go ahead and leave a comment before I even watch the video...as I've owned both shoes. The Mizuno Neo Vista is a far superior shoe. It's more comfortable and just feels lighter. I actually sold my Hoka's, as the hot spots in my bilateral mid lateral forefeet were truly miserable. No improvement even after an ample break in period.

[@user-sx8rv5pz7u]

Not only aesthetically , the weight alone clearly speaks for the Mizuno.

[@roymatthews2832]

As a Hoka tragic I was shocked at how much I liked the NV when I tried them on. Yet to run in them but, wow they feel amazing, actually much better than my Hoka Carbon X3

[@TolunayOrkun]

Matt, Road Runner Sports featured this video a couple of weeks earlier on their channel. I was wondering why it was missing here. Meanwhile, I did run in demo Neo Vistas. It was a few miles of Easy to Tempo run. I was surprised how soft the shoe felt. Loved the upper and the looks!

[@jhonatanpinzon771]

I got the neo vista and I love running in them. They are very fun. I have already 36km with them ( 3 runs, approx 12km per run) but each time I use them I am getting blisters on my feet. Anyone else with this problem? It kills me because I like them alot but I don't think I will keep them.

[@i.p2088]

I don't run in heavy shoes... It kills my LT band.. I do find the Hoka color beautiful the Neo Vista looks kind of.. boring.. All in all to save my Achilles and calfs I will definitely get the Neo Vista. Did manage to get the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro V2 finally on big sale today.. Last month got an extra Mizuno wave Rebellion Pro V1 at 50% discount..

[@halmo68]

Mizuno for me.

[@nicholas5396]

Thanks for the review. Only request is time stamps. Not all of us need or want the stats section or weight etc. Helps us skip to the parts that matter without having to manual skip ahead at 10 second chunks.

[@thecaptainchas2820]

I have the Neo Vista and absolutely love it! The cost of the Skyward X is a bit prohibitive. And now that I have the NV, the SX would probably be a bit superfluous. Another show that caught my eye was the On Cloudmonster Hyper, but again the cost is 💵 💵 💵!

[@JesseBrockwell]

This video is very well done... Very detailed and great footage. Subscribed.

[@joshjelden]

Matt, I have the Skyward X already and really enjoy it…in terms of a shoe that’s “fun” for the daily miles and possibly even using for 10k races, which would you go with between the Neo Vista and the Valkyre Speedworks? I’m a bigger runner at 6’6”, 240 lbs if that factors in between either…never really have had stability problems so neutral shoes work just peachy

[@dlepore373]

Hey Matt. Awesome content as always. Quick question. For a wide footed pronator, which is more stable and would fit a wider foot better in your opinion?

[@Wings_nut]

Shoe(t)out between these two & the upcoming Superblast 2 please?

[@techthux3758]

Where would you rate the Glycerin 21 GTS between these two ?
