Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider 24 WAVEKNIT™

Unfortunately, the shoe sizing in the Wave Rider is not consistent. Wore the same size in this model for 15+ years and now the same size is too small. Had to pay $25 for return and will not purchase online again.

I've been wearing Mizuno running shoes for probably 18 years. I switched to the Waveknit and loved them but was aware that they wear out more quickly. I stuck with them anyway because they are so light and comfortable. I had two pairs of the last Waveknits and ordered these and they have redesigned them -- go back to how they were! I don't like the tongue, my regular size for 18 years is too small, and they do not feel the same at all. They are going back.

Terrible! I've been running in Wave Riders for many many years. Ordered my usual Mizuno size in these (which is a whole size up) and the first thing I noticed is that they have weird really wide straps that attached the tongue (really thin tongue) to the bottom of the shoe and those straps have bulky binding around the edges that you can feel when you put your foot inside the shoe. Bumpy uncomfortable seams in the shoe. I took them on a run and my feet went numb before I made it a mile! These are too short in length and too shallow in the top of the foot. My toe was trying to bust out the top. I really tried with these. Adjusted the laces to try and create space (where there just isn't any) and took them on two more runs. Same thing. On my longer run I was really trying to get my miles in but I was in pain with numb feet had to stop early and ended up with blisters on the bottom edges of both my feet where those goofy tongue straps are attached to the bottom of the shoe. I'm so mad! Never again Mizuno! These "Knits" are totally different from the regular wave riders.

My feet go numb a mile into the run. Doesn't have the stability like the previous version. I'm disappointed.

Hello All, I own several pairs of Mizuno shoes. I loved the Wave Rider 16. It had the best color offerings and best fit for my foot. But something is up with the 24. It felt ok when I tried it on and for the first jog. But the next time after in started to squeeze down hard on my metatarsal and first proximal phalanges. I hoped that it was just needing a little breaking in. Nope, now I have formed a knot on my foot that is sensitive even when the show is off. Additionally, the light colors pick up dirt instantaneously. PLEASE GO BACK TO PURPLE! IT WAS A GREAT COLOR AND DIDN'T SHOW STAINS!

Runs short. Returned but Mizuno would not pay for shipping to ship them back. Spent $14 to ship back. Would never have ordered if free shipping only meant free shipping one way!
