I have been a Mizuno fanatic for years, and purchased these to replace my worn out Wave Creations. These, in my opinion, are fantastic and outdo the more expensive Wave Creations, hands down. Both shoes are meant for neutral runners, but I found that the Wave Rider provides more cushion and comfort. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a good quality, comfortable running shoe.

In college, I suffered from horrible shin splints and so I tried several different New Balance shoes. With no luck, I gave up on running altogether. Now I am ready to give it another chance. This brand came highly recommended by a few of my friends and I could not be more happy! I have high arches and these shoes give great support where I need it! I see a 5k in our near future. :) and the color. Awesome!

Mizuno is the only brand of running shoe I buy. I over-pronate, and these were recommended to me by a professional years ago. They are so lightweight and comfortable. And the color is super fun!

After doing quite a lot of research, I decided to buy the Mizuno Wave Rider 16s. I've been running regularly in 5Ks for about 4 months so I don't really go long distances when I run. These were an editor's choice by Runner's Monthly as well and that was a deciding factor. All that said, I am very happy with my choice. These shoes are extremely lightweight and the 'wave' design on the heel (watch the Zappos video!) really does seem to propel you forward. The cushioning and support is fantastic too. I also use these for CrossFit. One note about the color: to me, they looked like a darker red here but the color is more like a very deep pinkish-red and the parts that look black are actually a dark charcoal. I still love them though!
I'd also recommend: Brooks
