Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider WAVEKNIT™ 3

I love everything about these shoes and was so sad that they were changed so quickly. These are shoes i could wear forever!

I run just about everyday and I love how these shoes feel when I put them on, when my feet hit the ground, and everywhere in between. My arch feels supported. There is just the right amount of cushion to support my feet without being weighed down. Almost the perfect shoe for me!

Bought my second pair of these, and when these wear out, I'm buying another pair. They're very comfortable. I use them for runs and kickboxing.

Love these shoes. Same great cushioning as the Waveriders I had many years ago, but much more attractive with the Waveknit fabric and new designs. I got the white/ice blue color and they look mostly white in person. They go with everything and are holding up very well. After running 6 months in the Brooks Ravenna, I wanted to switch back to Mizuno for more cushion. Both are good shoes, but I really can feel the difference in cushion with these. Really comfy.

Love these shoes. So comfortable.

These shoes are so comfortable that I can wear them walking the dog, go jogging, and doing housework amd my feet never ache or feel tired. I've never worn such a comfortable shoe before so I bought two pairs of this particular model.

Very comfortable shoe!

I am a half-marathoner walk/runner and love these shoes. They were my second pair. They are light-weight and have a great feel to them.

I love these shoes. They look cool and feel so great to wear. I'm thinking about buying the white as well.

True to size and super comfortable. I'd buy these again.

Love the wave riders and waveknit riders! My go to running shoes.

My previous running shoes were an older version of the Mizuno Wave Riders so I decided to give the new Waveknits a try. I LOVE them. The're super comfortable and have the same great support and fit as my orginal Mizuno wave riders. Also they're cuter than most running shoes. Super pleased and can't wait for my next run!

Love the shoe!

Walking

I love this shoe...

My boyfriend bought these for me. I work on my feet all day and am constantly running around. I was shocked my first day when I came home and my feet and lower back didn't hurt for the first time in years. I will be buying Mizuno shoes from now on!

Comfy, light and bouncy. The stretch knit allows lots of air. Decent ankle stability. Nice sneak!

I work in healthcare so I'm on my feet at least 8 hours a day. These shoes are so comfortable. They immediately feel good with no adjustment period. They are light weight and provide great support and comfort. The only downside is the color selection.

Yep

I love this shoe! This is my second pair of Waveknits and they really streamlined the design for this one. It does run .5 size small so I recommend ordering up a half size. The fit is comfortable and so far has worked out great for running and dancing!

Very similar to my last waveknit model. Very comfortable!

Excellent fit and comfort. A vast improvement over the other brand I had been wearing. True to size.

This is such a comfortable training shoe, and very durable.

Do you need a cushioned daily trainer that is not squishy? Do you want a shoe that will last? Do you want a no-nonsense shoe that gets the job done? If the answer to any of these questions was yes, then this is would be a great shoe to add to your running collection if you have a need for a new shoe. While this shoe is not exciting in terms of design or technology, it more than makes up for it in the function of the shoe. It's utilitarian, like a jeep. If I were to use an ice cream analogy, it is less like rocky road and more like vanilla who doesn't like vanilla. I have run in a previous version of this shoe and it is very similar to the non-knit version, except I really like the knit upper. I put a lot of miles in this shoe on various surfaces and it performed well in all the different tests I put it through. It was comfortable on shorter runs, long runs and everything in between. I will be using this shoe for months to come. Pros Knit upper is stretchy and comfortable Good cushion that is not too squishy U4IC Cushion feels springy Rubber outsole provides good traction and adds to the overall durability Felt more stable than prior versions Built like a tank Cons Sizing is not like prior versions, go with your true foot size Plastic plate didn't seem to add to the ride Shoe felt like it was slapping against the pavement a bit Looks like a tank
