Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider 22

I love these shoes. First time buying the brand. My feet went from stinging at the end of every work day in my under armour sneakers to complete comfort at the end of my day in my Mizuno sneakers. Well made and you can feel and see the quality!

This was my first pair of Mizuno ever, and I'm very impressed with them. My heels have a tendency towards achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, but these shoes have the right amount of support and cushioning without binding or feeling too loose.

I keep buying Wave Riders. These "22s" are the most comfortable Wave Riders out of the box that I've ever had!

I bought them for my daughter and they are just what she asked for. She loves them I think.

I bought these for a Christmas present for my wife. She only wears mizunos. She has been wearing the sky's while doing some half marathons but is stepping back to 5k and 10k running and these will be perfect. She already loves how they feel.

Any time I try a new shoe I get a little nervous since my feet have been a bit temperamental for the last few years. Between plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis, there's always something I have to tend to or work towards preventing. But with these all my worries were unnecessary. My feet just about breathed a sigh of relief when they first slipped into these shoes! The amount of padding is just right, the hug around the heel feels stable without binding, and the width of the forefoot is comfortably wide without feeling too loose. The heel to toe drop is 12mm, which is perfect for me. I have worn this shoe around the house and around town for a few days to break in, on training runs, and in a few races, and it has not disappointed. I have not noticed any rubbing or blister causing spots, my heels don't slip and also don't hurt, and I could spend all day in the shoe without any problems.

Comfortable and meets expectations

Feels great on my foot, protects my heels, and doesn't bind in the forefoot.

I use them for running and they're Perfect. I had the same model but number 18 and just didn't want to change brand or model because it adjusts perfectly to my feet.

So far so good! I've only put about 16 miles on these guys so far but my feet have been happy. A nice and comfortable, smooth ride.

I have tried a lot of shoes and a lot of different brands and occassionally I am tempted and slip on a different brand, but i always put them back and walk out with my mizuno's. Only complaint is as they soften up over time they start picking rocks up in heel. . . Nobody's perfect :) but these come close.
