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!

Without a doubt the most comfortable running shoe I have ever worn. It was perfect right out of the box. I had also ordered Brooks Ghost 5 and he Mizuno Wave Precision but the Wave Rider was so much more comfortable than the others.

These are great shoes. I love the way they hug the back of my feet. That provides a secure feeling. I usually wear a 5, but usually get a 5½ in athletic shoes for socks, but with this brand I can wear a 6 and still have a great fit especially since I thread the top loop a bit differently for a more secure fit around the ankle without having to tighten the laces too much across the bridge of my feet.
