After pair after pair of other running shoes, I was fitted for the Mizuno WaveKnit R2 and I could not be happier. 8 miles this morning and my feet, legs and shins feel amazing. Shoe fits true to size and no discomfort while running. I'm a happy runner again and cannot wait to break these shoes in more and possibly get another pair to alternate runs

I've never purchased Mizunos before. But after buying the wave rider 22 knit, I am a fan! My feet are on the wider side and I tend to heel strike. Let me tell ya, these fit just like a glove. They are light weight and have great heel cushion and support. Went on a 4 mile run as soon as I got then and there was absolutely no break in time. I bought the peachtree edition, just in time for the 4th of July! I'm considering buying more pairs since these are by far my new favorite shoe. It's up there with the Brooks GTS and Nike Pegs for me.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, Nike, Saucony, Adidas

Army veteran - with lots of injuries: lots of feet, leg and back pain. These have me out running after nearly 10 years of thinking I wouldn't run again. I really don't like taking them off; they correct my posture and actually relieve pain in normal day to day use. Not the best looking shoe in class - but what they may miss in style, they more than make up for in quality, comfort and fit. I enjoy the breathability of these - the lack of leather is a huge bonus. Well done Mizuno

These shoes fit perfectly. They are extremely comfortable and felt great from the first wearing. Covered 6 miles on the first wearing with no break-in needed. Would definitely buy them again.

The shoe is made well but felt a half size smaller and much narrower than a normal shoe in my size. I wish they made this shoe in a wide size. The style is great and I love the color. Seems very well made, just smaller than other shoes this size.

This is my first pair of Mizuno’s (I usually run in Nike or ASICS). They have exceeded my expectation. Super comfortable, fit well, and look better than I expected. I’m very happy with them.

So far so good. I have been using Mizuno Wave Riders since 2001. I wanted to try the Knit this time to see if they felt any cooler. Ive only had them for a couple of weeks so far but Im happy with them. They are true to size. I typically wear a 12 in street shoes and go with a 13 to run in. I initially got these in a 12.5 to see if that was ok but my toes rubbed on the ends. Exchanged them for the 13s and they fit perfectly.

These shoes were purchased for my teenage son as a birthday gift and to commemorate his first running of the Peachtree Road Race. He was ecstatic to receive them and immediately put them on. They were a great fit - true to size - and according to him, very comfortable. While he hasn't run in these yet, he's worn them several times and is completely satisfied with their fit and comfort. I'm sure they'd make great running shoes as well as Mizuno produces great products. These shoes will certainly be a keepsake for our son even if he grows out of them!

Online size calculator was accurate. Shows are light, comfortable. Put some miles on them already. Only downside could be the small toebox that others have mentioned, but kt was okay for me.

use as running shoe. very good shoe. only issue I have is a bit narrow in mid-section of shoe. however it is the only shoe that I can wear that doesn't hurt my calluses to much. I have them on the outer side mid-foot of each foot.

I can always count on Mizuno's. True to size and comfortable width for my fairly wide feet.

It has a firm enough cushion to not be too mushy and yet be soft enough for casual walking and comfort as well. This colorway really popped as well.
