These are the third or fourth pair we've ordered. My husband wears the women's size 9 which fits better than the men's 7.

This is the third pair of these shoes. My right foot is a little bit longer than my left foot and the way the toe is shaped they are long enough. They’re super comfortable and they’re not too expensive.

I normally buy narrow in athletic shoes. I think this style of Mizuno runs narrow since a B width fits great.

Perfect, no break in needed, laced them up and walked 3 15 min. miles. Great Shoe, even though I liked the Wave Rider 21 a bit better.

I wore out my Mizuno Wave Rider 21 and was extremely happy to find no noticeable difference in the 22s - supportive around my arch, secure fit around my narrow heel, and plenty of room in the forefoot. I've always worn good running shoes, but had to search for a new style when my high arches fell and developed plantar faciitis in one foot. I wear my Mizunos on the treadmill and for day hikes up to 12 miles while carrying a small pack, but haven't tried them with larger backpacks yet. They're lightweight, comfortable in Tennessee humidity, and dry quickly after water crossings. LOVE!

LOVE these shoes. Same as my old pair, nice & wide & instantly comfortable. And a beautiful blue color.

This is my second review of this amazing shoe, because I bought two pairs. Love them! They are great for power walking on the trail; equally wonderful for weight-lifting at my fitness studio. So happy I've found these shoes!

Took them out of the box and walked five miles in these shoes. A perfect fit…feel great! I think I've found my perfect power-walking shoes. I've already ordered a second pair.

I wear a 5.5B in street shoes and size 6B fit perfectly with width room in the toe box. I originally ordered a 6.5B (a full size larger) based on some of the reviews but they were too big, so returned. I walk 3 miles a day with some incline intervals and these are very comfortable. I also supinate/underpronate and since wearing these my foot and knee pain have disappeared. I ordered another pair because finding a shoe that really does what the marketing says is rare. Shoe strings are shorter than most - I can still tie in a tidy bow, just not a lot of extra length. They seem well made, much better than most with quality stitching and materials. Made in Vietnam.

I like this shoe, feels solidly constructed and supports my workout activities: walk/run; jumprope, stairmaster, step aerobics, etc. This is my second pair of wave rider 22 and they work for me, I have high arches and underpronate. No breaking in required, no shin splints and great arch support. One thing I will say to shoe companies: hello . . . little tired here of the same ol' stereotyped female pink or blue neon colors or, in this Wave Rider 22"pastel Easter egg green (yes, pastel but I wanted the shoe). . . . women are strong, we can really hold our own. The same ol' same ol' color options are getting so old. Frankly, the first pair of Wave Rider 22's I bought were men's because I liked the color so much [the woman's feel version of the shoe feels more supportive, however]. But, I got so many, many compliments on that first pair of [men's] Wave Rider's. . .and (wait for it) from women!!!!!!

I've always been a 6.5, but these i buy in a 7. I also get a wide, due to a bunion. I have been wearing these shoes for years, and they are pretty much the only way my feet don't hurt. I love them.

I've worn Mizuno Wave Riders for a decade or more. My podiatrist wears them and thankful he recommended them to me. They are very comfortable the minute you put them on. I could also feel a huge change in support with the new pair. I had a long walk with no complaints.
