The sizing varies year to year. This model is a bit on the small side.

I've worn Wave Riders for over 10 years and this model continues to be better than the last.

Nothing fits my narrow feet like the Wave Rider, each year I buy 3 new pairs, one for indoor use, and 2 outdoor use on the park trails near my house. Solid construction and fits like a foot glove!

Mizuno seems to have changed their sizing. I have worn Wave Riders since as least as early as Wave Rider 13, and a 10.5 Regular Width was always plenty big. Since Wave Rider 24 came out, 10.5's are too small for me. I don't think my feet changed, because my old Mizuno Wave Riders, pre Wave Rider 24, all still fit great.

Years ago I had Achilles issues. The drop 12 was really helpful with reducing the pain and inflammation. After years with no issues, I switched to some ON's. The shoe felt great for runs but my Achilles flared up again. Switched back. I've had a fewblong runs and back to no issues. I'm not making that mistake again.

Tried these at Robert's Running and Walking Shop in South Charleston WV. Wonderfully comfortable and supportive. Will use for longer walks.

I have low arches and stand for long hours. I have tried several shoes and this is by far the best.

I've ran in a lot of different shoes and this is by far one of the best ones out there. It's light, but responsive and fits my foot perfectly. This is a great all around shoe. Short runs, long runs, tempo, and speed runs it doesn't matter. This shoe can do it all.

Son runs daily and goes thru these fast. I think we own ever version (#) of them. He loves them all - never an issue! If they ever DC this style - he would be so upset!

I live about a mile from my gym in Oakland, Ca. The wave rider shoe has been my favorite trainer for over 10 years and is what i wear for my gym sessions. Thanks Mizuno for the comfort and support.

The most important thing about any Mizuno shoe is the quality and consistency of the shoes. No disappointing performance at all.

Waveriders help me meet the earth with balance and grace during long city runs. Tried others but returned to Mizuno running shoes.

When I first started running I was suggested to get the wave riders at a local running store and did. I tried, for no reason other than to try other options, a few different brands over the years but always found myself back at the wave riders. I've probably owned 20+ pairs now and still going strong. Thanks for making a great shoe!!!

I am a long distance runner with wide feet the availability of a 2E show is great. The shoe holds up well over 300 miles before needing to be replaced.

I use the shoe for general workouts. I do a lot of calisthenics i.e., pushups, pull ups, sit ups, broad jumps, lunges...I need a good athletic shoe that feels familiar. I did a lot of running in the past and the shoe helps me get into the training mindset even though I am no longer doing 5 and 10Ks.

I have bought Wave Riders for years. I have tried other shoes and kept coming back to the Waver Riders. For me, they are the best.

I've purchased the last 5 versions of the wave rider and use them regularly for running, walking and fitness activities. They are very comfortable and always provide excellent support/comfort.

I've been running in Wave Riders for over a decade. I I recently needed to replace a pair of Wave Rider 26s, so tried a pair of shoes from a newer Swiss brand since my local sporting goods store doesn't carry Mizuno. I ended up returning those Swiss shoes because they were heavier and less comfortable, and ordering a pair of Wave Riders 28s, which I love.

I bought these shoes to replace my running shoes they had worn out. These shoes have the usual Mizuno comfort and support without being too spongy.

I have been wearing the Wave Rider running shoes for probably 20 years or more. I have tried several other brands but always went back to what I know works best for me. Quality running shoes are not cheap but way cheaper than dealing with injuries. As long as they don't make major changes I will continue to be a loyal customer.

I love the Men's Mizuno Wave Rider 28. It is a fantastic running shoe. Holds up well, not heavy, and is very comfortable. I've been running in Wave Riders for years and the 28 does not disappoint.
