Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider 23

Mizuno continues to build upon its great tradition with its latest model of the Wave Rider. This is a sharp looking shoe! I immediately was drawn to the latest color schemes; this shoe in particular is sporting a charcoal gray body, with a silver Mizuno logo, and white outsole-I can definitely wear these out casually as well as while running. I'm traditionally more of a stability shoe runner, so this neutral shoe will be a good opportunity to see how it compares to other stability models as well, including the beloved Mizuno Wave Rider 15. Out of the box one can tell that this is a sleeker shoe than most stability shoes and its predecessor; noticeably lighter with a lower profile, yet still maintaining a similar stiffness and durability. Not much has been dramatically changed according to others following the Wave Rider 22; it seems that the 23 will be simply an improvement in the details of an already great tradition of a model, but the sleeker profile is attractive. Let's put it to the test! I was super excited to get out on the roads and trails with these shoes. Right away I notice a lighter, sleeker, and closer to the ground feel than the Wave Inspire, which is a friendly change. I was impressed with the reputed Wave technology; it allowed for a noticeable structure to the shoe, while also feeling light and free. I was able to get out mostly on the roads with these shoes in hot, dry conditions, and occasionally I was able to jump on some dirt and gravel trails, including a twenty mile run. Verdict: the shoe performed wonderfully! There was plenty of stability for me even during the long runs, and I thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and lighter feel of these neutral training shoes. The neutral daily running/trainer designation for these shoes is spot on; passing with flying colors! For someone that favors more structure and stability in their run, for someone that seeks a responsive, low profile ride, or for anyone in between, I would highly recommend this shoe.

Love the shoes and love the colour (rose-grey). They have been my running shoes since the last 10 years! Happy the stop the bright flashy Colors!

I recently purchased these Mizuno's back at the end of March in preparation for a half marathon in May. I love these shoes. These shoes are light and comfortable and fit my feet well and are the only running shoes I have ever worn. HOWEVER, I have one complaint. I have had these shoes for less than 3 months and the top of both feet (near the toes) have worn through already! I am not very pleased with this aspect of the shoe, however, I have never had any other issues before.

Very comfortable and gave a lot support when running. This is my 2nd pair of running shoes with Mizuno.

Love my Muzino running shoes

Perfect fit, so comfortable, and everyone comments on the cool color.

This is my fourth round of Wave Riders. I love this shoe! Great support and all around great running shoe.

I bought my mizuno tenis for second time. I recommend it enterly! They're comfortable, fits perfect, and have been protect my feet during my high intensity workout. Also, my Wave Rider 23 are nicer and more modern than others brands.

I’ve worn Mizunos for years and find these to be of the same great quality. Order up, as most reviewers have said!

I run a least 3 miles 5 days per week and love Mizuno. I have tried many brands and Mizuno is the best fit for me.

Love these shoes! This is the 5th pair of wave rider shoes I have bought over the last 4 years. I wear them at work where I am on my feet for 12 hours. Between these shoes and compression stockings I have no leg or foot pain!
