Mizuno Womens WAVEKNIT Running Turquoise White Sports & Fitness for Running Review

Mizuno is my favorite running shoe. Previous models of these knitted running shoes varied in size; Many running stores recommended sizing up as they were tight while some color options look thick and big. I find they fit pretty snugly, even with limited space. I am in love! I thought I ordered a gray pair in the photo but now I got it, they are blue-grey, which is what the color is actually called! I plan to order in white as well.

I've been running Wave Riders for almost 10 years and switched to a knitted version last year. I really love these shoes. They provide more cushioning and prevent shin splints, knee pain and plantar fasciitis. I have high arches and they have always worked.

As a former athlete and dancer I have had many foot/ankle surgeries (including two this year). I needed durable and comfortable shoes. That's both. I don't overpronate my foot in these shoes. I also appreciate the price, the materials and the roomy sock. However, the mesh is quite thin at the top, so I tried to reinforce it with tape from the inside. I don't think the tape will last long. When you remove the insole and add the orthotics, the heel comes out of the shoe. Too bad the heel tab…

I've only worn Mizzunos for the last 8 years. I've had multiple Prophecys, Waveknits 1 and 2, multiple Wave Riders, multiple Inspires, Wave Creations and Wave Sky. Overall I like the Waveknit 3 much better than the Waveknit 2. The toe box is wider which I think makes up for the shorter length.

I wouldn't buy them for racing but in kickboxing the wave knit gives me strength and the wave
