I've worn Wave Riders for 15+ years. They are the perfect fit for my wonky feet (narrow heels, wide toe box) and they are always comfortable from Day One.

The Mizuno Wave Rider 28 running shoes have provided the best support for my feet. Getting a foot analysis at Fleet Feet was suggested by my podiatrist. The analysis and support from the shoe salesman led me to Mizuno. I did not have any knowledge of these shoes and the support they provide for all my activities. My new go to shoes!

The Mizuno Wave Rider is my favorite running shoe. I get the updated version every time I need new shoes. They are so comfortable!

I really like the fit of these shoes. They're comfortable straight from the box and last many miles.The sizing is a bit off, I bought a 9.5 when I'm usually a 9.

This probably the 5th pair of Wave Riders I've purchased. The first through the website. I love these shoes for walking. I wear a size and a half larger than my regular shoe size for extended walking times. The only thing I would improve is the insert. I have to use an alternate to get the support I need.

Well made shoe but sizing is off. I have bought Wave Rider's for many years and this is the third time they don't fit quite right. The last few years the 8.5 either fits snug or is too big. My toes are right at the end.
Arch support is also lacking in this model.

Comfortable shoe. I use orthotics so the lack of arch support isn't an issue as I use my custom ones.

I've used the Wave Rider for many years as a daily trainer after they discontinued the Wave Elixir. I went from the 25 to the 28, and I found that the toe box has more room now compared to earlier models. I had opted to buy a half size larger because I found the 25 a bit tight, but probably didn't need to. I'm still breaking these in after a few days, and I will say they are irritating my ankles. Hoping this will be temporary!

The Wave Rider used to feel so extremely cushioned, evenly throughout from heel to toe. But after trying 2 different pairs of the Rider 28, I noticed the same thing...there's a noticeable "lump" of cushion under the ball of the foot. Right after the arch, your foot goes into the front of the shoe and it feels like a speed bump of cush there, then the toes get only a small amount. It wasn't comfortable to me, and so disappointing. But the heel cup and arch are great, the Wide width was perfect. These do run small - I needed a Size 8, but my usual in other running shoes is a 7.5.

Definitely need to half size up in the Wave Rider. This year's model didn't have the quality feel of previous Riders, it was sloppy in the lateral support, made my feet feel like tilting to the inside. And there was an unnatural lump of cushion under the ball of the feet, felt like the cushion stopped after the arch, then the lump was felt at the ball & toes. The Wave Rider used to feel wonderfully & amply cushioned all over.
