I've been running in the Wave Inspire shoes for years now and they've worked great for marathon training. I love the bright pink color of these!

Love these shoes and have been buying for years. Comfy, good for every day and/or running and they last.

The best pair of running shoes I have ever purchased. This is my 6th pair.

I already have a pair of the 20s and these 19s are tighter in the toe box than 20sbut otherwise a good shoe.

Mizuno was my running shoe for years. Then, none of the stores I went to were carrying them. I just found them again recently and was so excited! I will say, I wish I had ordered one size larger (a 9 instead of a 8.5). I will be re-ordering but in a 9 this time.

I instantly loved the arch support and ample padding this insole has. My only complaint so far (< 20 miles in) is my pinkie toe falls asleep in these. They are worth the weird break-in period though because these shoes provide so much support!

Love these shoes. However, I got the 8.5 wide width and it still feels a bit snug. The previous shoe I got wasn't as snug. Hopefully I'll break into it soon. Mizuno shoes are the only one that don't give me intense heel pain. Also please make more wide width color options!!

Mizunos fit my foot well. Bought these to help with PF and they really cushion, help. I've been wearing them through my recovery as my go to shoe. They have a hybrid sole so are suitable for short hikes.

If you have trouble finding shoes that fit because your heels slip or the toe box is too narrow or the arch support is too high or the laces lace up too far so the shoes are too tight in the ankle area, you should really try these shoes. I have all those problems, and these shoe fit right out of the box. I've tried dozens of running and walking shoes, and these are the only ones that truely fit. They are very supportive (stiff), but I do wish the midsole was thicker. I don't really care for the color scheme except for the main color.

You definitely need to order a 1/2 size larger. This is a nicely made shoe. It looks like it would last a long time. I have a high instep, and it was just too tight around that area. The toe box on this shoe was roomy enough to fit a 2E. The heel was nice and narrow to keep from slipping down. This shoe was almost perfect for me. Another pair going back to Zappos.

I ordered these to be a backup for the same model in a different color and they did not fit the same. This color dug into the outside of my ankles and I had to return them. Not sure why it fit so differently.

I've been wearing wave inspires since 2011. These are my 6th pair! I just upgraded from my second pair of 16s to these and these are the first Mizunos to ever cause me issues/shin splints. Super sad about it.

Have been buying Mizuno shoes for 10+ years. The quality and comfort is great, though the footbed inside is not as comfortable and thick enough for walking--let alone running. Seems to break down withing 2-4 weeks.

Shoe felt way too small both in width and length. I ordered a wide and it felt narrower than a regular width shoe.
If you have wide feet do not get this shoe.

Have several pairs of this shoe throughout the years, including these same ones in a different color, and they don't feel the same. They are stiff and don't fit the same as the others in the same size. They feel fake like knock offs.

Shoes fit tight. Not allowed to return because I wore them. Never will buy their products again.

These were bought for a Christmas present. So not sure about the fit or overall look.

Heads up Mizuno Wave Rider fans. Version 19 is VERY different than version 18. The sizing is off dramatically--much tighter across the top of the foot and fits almost a full size smaller. I'm such a fan of the prior versions and am disappointed that Mizuno made so many changes in version 19. It feels like an entirely different shoe.
