This is my third pair of Mizuno's in the last two years......I had two pairs of the Wave Rider 21 and loved them, but could no longer find them at my local running store so went online and bought the WR23. Seems to be almost the same, maybe a little snugger than the 21 but generally OK so I bought a second pair while I could find them. I walk almost daily about 2-3 miles/day and these are the best shoes for me that I've found in years because my foot tends to be on the wide side. I love them.....prefer to buy in a store where I can try them on but as long as these were so close to what I had before I gave it a shot and they worked. I would not feel comfortable just buying them for the first time online. When I bought my first pair, I literally tried on 9 pairs from 7 other manufacturers before I found the Mizunos which fit great for me. KEEP MAKING THEM AND DON"T CHANGE THEM!!!!!!!

I love this shoe. My last shoes were Asics and I wanted to try something new. They have great support, and are great looking. Highly recommend for a neutral foot. I didn't have to spend time breaking them in and I'm hoping to run a half marathon in them soon!

I've been a runner for over 30 years. This is my 3rd pair of Wave Riders and I continue to be satisfied with the performance of this shoe. Whether going for an easy run or training for longer distances, my feet feel great.

I initially got fitted for Mizuno shoes at a running store after struggling to find a running shoe that didn't hurt my feet. The Wave Rider is very comfortable - it is lightweight but provides enough support, and it has enough room in the toe box. This is my second pair of Wave Riders, and I love them just as much as the first pair.

I have bought eight pairs of Mizuno shoes including these. I have to wear running shoes with a stiff sole and Mizuno's are the best for me. My regular shoe size is 6.5 I wear a 7 in Mizuno's

I have purchased and run in the wave rider for 8 years. I ordered my usual size 10 and was nervous due to reviews saying sizing had changed. BUT they fit as usual. I have a narrow foot so no width issues. I also ordered (not zappos) a second mizuno wave shadow and their size 10 was far smaller. Had to return and half size up. First time this has happened to me with Mizuno. It makes no sense to me that sizing would be different within the same manufacturer. Frustrating.

The WaveRider has been my go-to road training shoe for several years. I am a Masters runner that trains 50-70 miles/week and this shoe is perfect for versatile road training with a neutral stride. Great stability with breathing fabric on the upper. Haven't had any blisters since wearing Mizuno's! Thanks for 5 years of PR's and BQ's!

I have been running in Mizuno wave Rider for over 10 years. This is my 2nd pair of the 23, i like them so much. They are light, breathable and comfy to tackle my roads of quarantine in. I love the new flat laces, too.

I've been wearing Wave Riders for over a decade, and this is one of my favorite versions yet. It feels less bulky, but still gives that familiar ride. I'll definitely be buying a few more pairs!

Love the wave Rider shoes. This new model still has all the cushion and super support as the older models. Big fan of the ankle stabilizing heel design. It my go to shoe for both running and walking.

I only wear Wave Riders. I get the new version each year. I have been running in Wave Riders exclusively for almost ten years. I am an Ironman athlete and marathoner, so I put a lot of miles on these. Love them and recommend to everyone who is looking for the perfect running shoe.

Felt half size smaller and narrower than normal. However, with the right size, they're very comfortable!

Have worn these running shoes for years and bought a pair of Brooks which I wore out and decided to come back to these. I am BEYOND happy I did. I love the comfort and style of these shoes. Just enough to cushion to feel good but not so much you sink in. The fit may be a BIT smaller than before but I wound up keeping my usual size. I typically wear an 8 in every kind of shoe but wear a 9 in these.
