I use this shoe for slower paced runs. And I really like the comfort that the shoe has.

Bought exact same show, size and style. Arrived and was too small. They made me pay $20 shipping and still no credit. Never had any other company do that. All done with this company.

Ordered a size too small but otherwise comfortable! I would say its true to size since depending on shoes i can vary between 9-10 and this is the first i've tried these

These shoes have never failed me! I bought my first pair to run cross country and track in high school, and still wear them now as I'm training for a half marathon. I get a lot of life out of them, despite using them for long distances. They're a great neutral shoe, and comfortable too!

I have been purchasing Mizuno running shoes for years, and they are consistently a good choice for regular runners. I run (almost exclusively) outside, and Mizunos stand up to the elements. I always purchase a size larger as my foot swells some when running. I wish Mizuno would keep more colors in stock, but overall a great shoe.

Poor SupportGreat Support
I love this brand and have worn Mizuno's for over a decade.....and I absolutely loved the coral color, so I was so excited to get these delivered - my perfect sneaker! However, the way it was designed made me feel like it pushed me to walk on my inner front foot/toes. It was just not comfortable in the least so I had to return, sadly. I'm not sure what they did, but they need to go back to the drawing board on the design, just no support in the front of this shoe.
I'd also recommend:
Lululemon, Nike

The foot bed is very soft and I feel it adds a spring to my step.

I've been running in the Waverider for years and years and still love it. The cushion is just right without being too bouncy

Comfortable, good support, good flexibility in the sole. Feels a lot like the 26, which I'm currently running in and like. The 27s seem a half size smaller again, though, like the 25s. I always wear a size 6 in running shoes, across multiple brands over the years, but needed a 6.5 in the WaveRider 25s. Version 26 was a shade longer and I could wear a 6 again. And now with the 27s, I'm back to a 6.5. The toe box seems shorter and narrower again in the 27s compared to the 26s.

Great for running, comfortable and stable. I have used these since Wave Rider 12 - love them. I really like a bright color sneaker and wish this was a bit brighter but that doesn't effect the amazing quality of the shoe.

These sneakers are so light and comfortable, I don't want to take them off. I have a narrow foot, and I sized up 1 whole size.

Order before seeing the review that the shoe is hot and might make your feet sweat. Wish is was more supportive for over probation.

I read the other review about the shoe being narrow- it is narrow and that is why I've worn Mizuno Wave Riders since version 18s- but is a consistent fit with the wave riders. Some versions had been better and some not- 27s are back. More similar to 23s (maybe not in technical specs) but feel great! Great ride- I've got abour 30 miles in on this new pair and I'm in love!

I have worn the Mizuno Wave Inspire for years and the current version is one of my favorite, so I was confused when the Wave Rider fit completely different than it. The toe box is extremely narrow and I had to return them and re-order in a wide. The wide width fits like a normal width should. Other than that, the shoe is good, but figuring out the fit was a hassle.

I loved the material, color, and how light they were but they were too narrow and for as expensive as they were they should fit perfect.

I have been buying Mizuno's for a long time. In fact, I was trying to replace my current pair. These are much smaller, in fact, I sized 1/2 size up, and they are more narrow, which isn't comfortable for my foot. In addtion, my foot feels like it is being pushed down into the front toe box area - almost like I am walking on my instep. I am not sure what changed with the design. I love the coral color so much but sadly I think I have to return.

Great looking shoe however the sizing is off. I ordered a wide and the width did not feel wide. The shoe was also about a half size short in the length. Shoe had great spring on the push off. Wish it fit better. Order half size up and if you have wide fit get a different shoe.
