Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider WAVEKNIT™ 3

I am 64 years old and do aerobices 5 days a week these shoes have stopped my back pain and knee pain .the size , I usually wear a 8.5 , but the size finder thing suggested I should order the 9. They are big but I need them so badly I didn't want to send them back. I tell everyone how comfortable they are.

Just got these, but it's love at first try. I was looking for a pair of shoes that support combination workouts (sometimes CrossFit, sometimes jogging up to a few miles). These offer great stability without being clunky. The fit is great for my feet.

I am very pleased with this purchase. I will buy another pair and tell others about it

good quality, nice color. the fit is just slightly small. I ordered my usual 9 1/2 and my toes are at the tip of the shoe. Very comfortable to walk or work in but not to run in. I am on my feet for ~ 10 hours/day at work and the sneakers feel great. I would try a 1/2 size up but think it would be too big.

Not as great as the Waveknit R2 but good. It doesn't grip my heel as well as the R2. It's still a comfortable run.

Had to return as they were not true to size. Very comfortable, but they do run small.

Runs very small, needed a whole size larger than usual. Returning the shoe was a hassle and took forever to get the refund. Waveknit 2 was a much better shoe, the sole in the 3 is stiffer and harder on the feet... why change a great shoe to make it worse?

Mizuno's are the only shoes I've ever worn that leave me feeling great. Whether it be on my feet at a restaurant, moving my belongings up 5 flights of stairs in the blazing sun of Boston, or running casually for years on the same pair of shoes. They last and last and they feel like they are built for me. I bought these shoes a couple weeks ago for running/jogging/walking casually. Between 2-4 miles/day. I have the Wave Rider 22 and these shoes looked pretty similar but I really like the color and the reviews were good so I went for it. They fit beautifully, they look great, but I gotta say they don't have the umph that I feel when I wear the Wave Rider 22's. They feel a little too loosey goosey because of the laces and just overall not as solid as the other Wave Rider's I've tried. Next time (even though the colors are *thumbs down* I will go with the Wave Rider.

I unfortunately had to return these shoes. I normally wear a 10, but read the Waveknit R2 ran a little small; I purchased a 10.5 in the R2 and they fit perfect. I figured purchasing a 10.5 in the Waveknit 3, it would be similiar. The shoe was HUGE, and I had to go through the hassle of returning it. The returning was simple (meaning obtaining a return number and the instructions), however, you have to return your purchase, then Mizuno will refund you, then you have to purchase the item again; which is kind of a pain.

I bought WAVEKNIT wide shoes before but these run smaller than previous purchased. Very disappointed.

This is my 3rd pair of Waveknits and they fit totally different. They seem more wide than normal, even in the standard size. I am not a fan.

These shoes were disappointing. I've owned them for less than 5 months and they are already falling apart. I've had to glue the bottom multiple times, the inside by my heels has worn off and the back white part is ripping apart. These are not my everyday shoes, as I mix them with many others. Without constant wear they still have all the trend on the bottom but are falling apart elsewhere. I feel I got robbed for what I paid for them! *Pictures don't include inside of shoe as dark and cannot see it well.

I have always purchased Mizuno shoes for running and was highly disappointed in this pair of running shoes. DO NOT purchase this shoe if you want a pair of long lasting shoes. I reached out prior to posting a negative review and was sent a replacement pair which deteriorated within one month's time. I had each pair for one month prior to seeing such wear and tear. I wish I was offered a refund towards another pair since this much be material used on WAVEKNIT line.

Runs really small (needed 1 size larger), stiff shoe, and not as good as wave knit 2. Also returning through mizuno website is a pain in the dupa!
