MizunoWomen's Wave Rider 25 Running Shoe

This is a preliminary review - I'm a prior distance runner (mostly half marathon to 25k), but have not trained that much for a couple of years, and I am trying to get back to frequent running. I previously wore stability shoes, I was a loyal Saucony wearer, until they made a change I didn't like, and then I came over to Mizuno's that have stability, but I've noticed my pronation is much less than it used to be, and I wanted to try neutral shoes again. While I hadn't been running as much, I was wearing a cheap pair of Nike's that were awful.So I haven't been running extensively in these, yet, but initially, they have an excellent, roomy toe box, these are excellent I think for anybody with wide feet at the toe. They fit true to size to generous - I wear size 11 street and dress shoes, and this is definitely roomier than them, probably an extra half inch of length, but a totally appropriate size for running (so that is, I didn't have to size up). Very comfortable, great heel, I don't need much arch support but it doesn't seem very supportive, FWIW. Well ventilated (good in the summer / bad in the winter). Also cute with yoga pants / athleisure, again FWIW. When I bought these, in my size and color, they were really inexpensive, but I usually buy running shoes in the $75-100 range, and these are as nice as my typical running shoes, even though they cost half as much.

Great fit. Comfortable, no rubbing. Durable.

The shoes run a little small but I knew that because I’ve gotten Mizunos before, just not on Amazon. So I went up a size and they are perfect. They take a few walks to feel really comfortable because of the arch support but then they are the best. Excellent quality.

Good shoes, but it is very small, I bought half size up and wide model, I should it bought a full size up + wide model. When you run large distance start to hurt me.

This is the best running shoe that I have ever used. So comfortable! This is a neutral foot shoe and is just perfect. I got 1/2 a size bigger than what I usually use , fits great! I have been using it for the past 2 months and I really love it!

When I ordered this shoe, it was listed as a Mizuno Wave Rider 25, but it actually is the Rebellion. I knew nothing about the Rebellion but thought, since the price was right, I wouldn't send them back and give them a try. The Rebellion is much more stiff than the Wave Rider, perhaps a good choice for someone liking that sort of style. The shoes run a little small, about half a size. They are also a little uncomfortable at the toe. The toe end of the shoe has a stiff plastic upper that presses down and rubs on your toes. Although I am keeping the shoe as a working in the yard shoe, I will be seeking out another pair of Wave Riders for running.

The box came heavily damaged, and taped back together. I’ve worn Mizunos for years. These are fakes. They don’t even say Mizuno on them. Do not buy.

I have been wearing Nike's all my life, but recently had enough after two new pairs of Nike air's lost the air in one shoe (One pair the left shoe, the second pair the right shoe). When you pay that much for a pair of shoes, you expect them to last and hold up. Thankfully with the second pair, the vendor took them back. But with the first pair, I only had them 11 months, and Nike refused to do anything about it. Therefore, I moved on to a new manufacturer. I know I have had foot problems in the past and need a normal shoe with cushioning. I read a lot of reviews on the Mizuno and decided to give them a try. I love them and actually bought two pairs. The fit is perfect, the cushioning is great and feels good on my feet. I use to be an avid runner but with Achilles tendonitis, heel bursitis and plantar fasciitis in both feet, i had to stop. I recently was able to start again slowly building up using these shoes. That is such a relief! I would recommend these shoes. The price was totally awesome and the shipping was fast! The only downside I have with these shoes is you can't machine wash them. But, that is minor as I just hand wash them and leave them outside to dry.

Shoe construction was less supportive than expected and fit was less true to size than my last pair.

Exactly as expected. I love these shoes. Narrow fit, very supportive. Fit true to size so if you like extra toe room upsizing by a half wouldn't hurt, but I will keep them.

The Wave Rider 25 is the perfect shoe fit for me. Have found the Wave Rider 26 and up are not as great and the fit is not the same so I was really pleased to find these on Amazon. Plus the price was great!

el tenis esta acorde a lo mencionado en la publicacion.... lo unico que debe mencionarse en la publicacion es que aunque se pida la talla MX (porque asi esta la opcion), este llega en talla US... porque yo pedi talla 25 y llego talla 8... afortunadamente se pide un numero siguiente por los inconvenientes que pudiera pasar.... y quedo justo.... es el unico punto a considerar

El producto es muy bueno, solo que la medida viene reducida (medio numero más chico) y lo tuve que regresar una vez. Gracias
