==Mizuno Wave Ekiden and Merrell Trail GloveGlove==
The Ekiden and the [[Merrell Trail Glove]] are quite similar shoes in spite of their looks and marketing. While neither is heavy, they don't offer much cushioning for the weight they carry. They both last reasonably well, though the Trail Glove has the edge on longevity as well as comfort, and the Ekiden has better grip on asphalt. I'd choose the Trail Glove in most situations.

==Mizuno Wave Ekiden and New Balance RC5000 ==
The [[New Balance RC5000]] is stunningly light, but it's not a minimalist shoe like the Ekiden. Instead, the RC5000 provides quite a bit more cushioning than Ekiden that's nearly twice as heavy. Because the RC5000 has enough cushioning to improve [[Running Economy]] it will be far faster to run in than the Ekiden. Perhaps surprisingly, I found the RC5000 more comfortable in the upper as well.
