Customer Reviews Mizuno Wave Rider 28

Starred with Mizuno a year ago, love the light weight and wide toe box.

I've been running in the wave rider for at least 20 years. I've tried other brands but always go back to the wave rider. Thx mizuno for such an awesome product !!

Been running with wave rider for a few years, its a good running shoe for both short and long distances. Well padded under the forefoot, yet stable and responsive. The shoe keeps changing every year, sometime for better sometime not so much but overall, still a good running shoe.

Great shoe

I've been a loyal Mizuno customer since 2014, and their shoes always deliver amazing arch support and comfort, especially for my foot issues. However, this recent pair ran much smaller than expected, and I had to return them, which was frustrating given the strict return policy. I'll still repurchase in a larger size because nothing compares to Mizuno's quality. If you're buying, I recommend sizing up!

I have been a fan of the Mizuno Wave Rider for a long time and the Mizuno Wave Rider 28 certainly did not disappoint. This shoe is a great daily trainer that works great for daily runs, tempo runs, and even long runs. The moderate cushion is firm but responsive. The toe box on this shoe is nice and accommodating. Like previous versions, this shoe is well-built and durable.

The Mizuno wave rider 28 is shorter than the same size in a Mizuno wave rider 27. Size up recommended. Same great quality.

I have been buying the brooks ghost and tried these as they are rated high for preventing Achilles issues. They fit a little snug for my normal size and didn't love the off white color. Will keep them for the 6 months but then probably revert back to the brooks ghost. More comfortable and better colors.

Mizuno innovation on Wave Rider Running shoes is amazing. The comfort no stress or strain on my feet when running has allowed me to continue with no foot pain etc. A fantastic product cannot wait until the next release.

I've always used mizuno, because it's light, I use it in winter ultramarathons, in long training sessions and it's perfect.

I usually wear a size 8.5 in Mizuno shoes however this style was too small

I've purchased this running shoe in size 8 over and over. For some reason the right shoe feels too tight. I don't know if it's just due to variation in product, but I don't have this problem with my other pairs.

I love this shoes, but in the USA the sizes are small. I normally run on size 10. My normal size is 9! Size 10 was very small, pitching my toes. I send them an email to exchange for a bigger size and they want to make me pay for shipping!!! This never happened to any brand I run. As a marathoner I go through shoes very fast. So I buy shoes at lot. First time size 10 was too small. First time I had to pay for return shipping!!!

I bought exactly size I use in the shoes of others brands, and I had to return because your shoe don't fitted well

Im usually an 8.5 but the shoe was too short. Toes were at the very end. Super cute but return looked annoying so im going to keep for short runs or casual wear.

I found the shoe to be quite supportive. However the sizing and fit is different from previous versions of this shoe. In particular, the edge below the ankle cut into my skin during a run, which was painful and left a nasty blister. I ordered my regular size and this feels snug.

Ordered a 9 and received a pair of 8.5 in a box labeled size 9… need them in size 9

I have been wearing mizuno wave riders for the last 25 years. These don't seem to fit the same. They seem short. I always buy my running shoes a size larger. My toes are hitting the front. I am considering sending them back. Also the shoe laces are shorter too. Hard to double tie. I have run numerous marathons in wave riders. These would not work.

Good for running. However, rocks get stuck in the shoes every time and I have to be consistently removing them, which noticeably wears the shoe down. I have purchased this shoe several times, even so, but this is a big drawback of the shoe.

I love Mizuno Wave Riders. These are sooo wide in the toe box. Why? Some of us have narrower feet! I might have to return. I will have to look for previous models and hope I can find some.

Purchased for walking and casual wear but the shoe's toe box was too wide for my foot.

These shoes are comfortable and well-made, but I ordered the wrong size and had to return them. I wish Mizuno had a more efficient shipping system for the US. I had to pay shipping to return and also had to reach out to customer service instead of going through a simple page on the website. Shipping wasn't cheap!
