Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider 25

These are likely counterfit shoes. I ordered my first pair of size 9.5. They were over a size and half too small. They conversion rate between US and UK shoe size was also wrong. They were listed as 9.5 US and 7UK. I returned them and ordered a new pair at size 10US. They literally ended up being the same size as the first shoes (actually a size 8US). The tag says US10 and UK7.5. The correct conversation rate in any store is US 10 and UK 9. While its hard to tell if the shoes themselves are counterfeit -- the tags are completely wrong! Which makes me think they are counterfit. Annoyed that have to post back 2 different pairs of shoes! The photos attached shoes the 2 different sizes. Even though they are the exact same size! Mizuno Wave rider are my fav shoes so this isnt a reflection on the brand. Just zappos that are selling dodgy goods!

The Wave Rider 25 fits perfectly like the 24, but the 25 seems a slight bit wider in the foot box. The 25 and 24 have a slight underpronation correction which is okay for me. I always order the Wide which on the 25 and 24 is ample. I stocked up, buying 2 pairs of the 25 and 2 pairs of the 24 because the last model that fit was the Wave Rider 20, as did the 19 and 17. Wave Rider consistently runs 1/2 size smaller.

Nice shoes, I wish they'd fit like a wide instead of a medium width.

I've worn size 11 Mizuno Wave Riders for years. After reading reviews saying this model runs small, I tried both 11 and 11.5. The 11 fit like expected. I have narrow feet and need larger toe box, and have always appreciated being able to wear 11 M Mizunos without searching for narrow running shoes.

This is my second pair of Mizuno's since I got my feet sized at Fleet Feet, and I love them!! I have very narrow feet and wear a size 11-11.5, and I ordered the 11.5 and they fit absolutely perfectly!!! Support is great, and they look wonderful!

Great fit for my long but somewhat narrow feet. Super comfy and by far my favorite running shoe. I’m not a very experienced runner but these shoes definitely make it easier to go farther!

These are like running on pillows! My feet didn't hurt after my runs like they have been.

Good cushion and support. I have plantar fasciitis. I would definitely recommend

I have bought this shoe for the past few years just upgrade to the new version when mine wear out. I feel like they wear out like d of quick but the fit is great. I have been using them outside and feel like the foot drop is too much for outdoor . On the treadmill they are great.

I typically wear a 10 in Brooks. In this Mizuno the 10 was to small exchanging for 1/2 size larger.

Ordered a wide and they still feel a bit narrow. A lot of cushion in the heels which is nice. However the right sole feels uneven. Ok for walks with dog but not for gym, dancing or jogging.

These shoes were listed as being on the small size, so one should order up a half size, which I did. I have 3 pairs of Wave Rider 23s, and they are perfect for my feet; they are also a half size bigger than I usually wear. But the 25s are just too small. My big toe was bumping against the front of the shoe, which was uncomfortable. I don't know why a company takes a good thing and ruins it, but Mizuno did.

I have been wearing mizuno wave riders for 10+ years and these were not what I was expecting. I found them to be at least a half size too small than I have been wearing. The tongue is attached on the sides which the last pair I had didn’t have. And I can’t seem to tie them so that my foot doesn’t slip around. I will probably use these for walking but I guess I will be looking for a new running shoe :/

Ordered in a 7 which is my normal tennis shoe/sneaker size, ordering in a 7.5

so confortable

The best Wave Rider since the first year I began wearing them. So glad they came back around to much of the classic design.

MIZUNOs are perfect, I had to return HOKAs they were not as comfortable, supportive as the Mizunos. AND, the Brooks Cascadia had a very hard sole.

I already owned a pair of these and love these sneakers. So I knew exactly what size to order. Love these sneakers.

Love these shoes. I have early stage plantar faciatis & these shoes really help. I usually wear brooks glycerin. These are a nice change. Less bulky, stable yet very soft. I had to go up 1/2 size. I wear size 7 in brooks. I’m these I wear a 7.5.

Brand runs a little small in general, best to go up in size. Comfortable and lightweight.
