I have bought several versions of the wave rider. I’ve liked some better than others but always happy overall. Read more

I ordered up from my average size one-half size up which seems to be common in any running shoe that does not run very wide or have a wide toe box. I was correct and fit beautifully. I also could not believe the excellent cushion - not quite like walking on a cloud but close- with one shoe on and one off- I was elevated at least around half an inch off the ground- WHICH WAS GREAT- I walk lot with shoes like this when I can- and it will help protect my back a ton- I had an older pair of Nike's I loved that are hard to find- and had to buy new inserts (Dr Scholl) twice- and even with those I would come home in great pain, especially back. I doubt it will happen with these, at least not while they are in the newer state. I am pretty confident of that and have no issue giving 5 stars based on comfort, fit and a pleasant surprise especially as they are inexpensive compared to the typical $150-200 I buy for more intense usage. You may wish to consider ordering half a size larger if you have ever had to do so before with other brands like Nike. That is a very personal choice and at least with amazon, if you get the fit wrong, the return is easy if you don't wear them outside. I believe with Zappos with many brands you can often try them outside as well- and the two companies have paired up- but you would need to compare the exact policies and I tend to never wear new running shoes outside to try them out, only indoors to ensure the fit is perfect.

I don't run much anymore. But I do wear these shoes almost every day fpr waling, bike riding, anything I do. I shop carrying a backpack on a bicycle and when I carry that loaded backpack it can weigh 50 to 60 lbs. Never have these shoes felt uncomfortable or unstable. Never have they let me down. This is about my fourth pair of Mizunos after I discovered them back in the 90s. My ankles are very solid but not very strong. That is, I have never felt confident on ice skated or roller blades where you need strong ankles to master the sport. But I am extremely confident and good at downhill skiing and regular four wheeled roller skating where you need solid standing ankles to master the sport. That is, in ice skating you master turns by turning your ankles. In downhill skiing you master turns by shifting your knees and your whole body to master the sport. My posture tends to roll my feet outward a bit. Once when I was running, many years ago, I had some Saucony Grids which had a unique design where the bottom sort of extended out a bit to insure a solid step. I was running, hot, tired, and put my foot down between the sidewalk edge and some Zoysia grass. OUCH!!! My ankle suddenly rolled way over too far. Those Grids gave me a stable base, but they gave me no warning when I was close to the edge, and then it was too late and I injured myself. Which is to say these Mizunos give me a very stable step, with complete confidence for how the shoe is a part of walking, dancing, hiking or whatever my body is doing while wearing them. Read more

I have been wearing Mizuno running shoes for the past 20 years and have never been disappointed. Read more
